Azureus Bit Torrent

Rellix · March 2005

<div class="IPBDescription">Little Help</div> Well I thought Id reinstall bit torrent to try and speed my downloads and skip the lines, but im getting an error:

Testing port 6887 ... NAT Error

I also get a small pop up error in the corner:
Error
UPnP: Mapping 'NAT Tester (TCP/6887)' failed

My home network is set up like this:
Cable modem into PC1, PC1 into Hub, my PC(PC2) into hub. brothers PC (PC3) also into hub.

Any ideas?

I take it you've forwarded port 6887 to your machine, right?

He's made no mention of a router, so we can assume that the ports that need forwarding would be done from PC 1 under it's ICS options.

Rellix · March 2005

Ok I havent forwarded any ports, just to frefresh my memory its the network connections settings on the modem or PC1s network card for the network? Then the third tab and then my memorys gone....

If he's not forwarded the ports, there's a very real chance that no client will work (besides, i'd definately recommend Azureus over any other client).

If you're using any 3rd party software or it is a router you're using, you're gonna have to read the manual how to do it, but if it's using Windows ICS, try <a href='http://www.dslreports.com/r0/download/181339;bd105dc7c26c9fbad8be83372f13319d/icsconfigXP.jpg' target='_blank'>this</a>.

EDIT: For a little clarification, the description is for whatever so you recognise it (Something like BitTorrent), the IP would be the internal IP of the machine you want the port forwarded to and iirc, the external and internal ports would both be the same, 6887. And leave it set with TCP.

Anyone know how too make sure Azereus or any other client hogs all the bandwith?

Sometimes it feels like its using up all the bandwith when it only downloads and uploads a few kb/s.

The origional problem I can't really help much with. Tho maybe try and make sure UPnP is enabled on your modem settings. I know there is an option for turning it on and off on my router, but what it actually does, I do not know)
It's just a hunch.

And Afr, there is a program I use called NetLimiter which lets you control how much bandwidth any program uses. I'm pretty sure theres a free trial knocking around. Google it.

Yeah, it's what i use. Allows you to limit in general, by application or by each connection itself, as well as having the ability to schedule changes in limits at certain times, which can come in handy.

Ok, I know im bumping a month old topic from the dead, but im still having problems, not just with bit torent but hosting thigns in general, iv done a bit of looking around to try and give a better description:

The internet comes to the cable modem ( Terayon TJ210 Modem) which connects to a network card inside PC1, PC 1 uses its 2nd network card to connect to a hub ( unex nexhub HA080 8 port 10 base t hub) which then connects to a network card in PC2 and PC 3 using seperate cables.

For some strange reason, Im unable to view all of the Unex site for things, but my friend had a look and cant see any IPs documented anywhere to connect to. Again with the Terayon site i cant even see it at all but he tells me they dont make the modem anymore and that there is only drivers available for download.

Any ideas?
