Trying to configure Azureus.... Getting a NAT Error.

I suspect it has something to do with Zone Alarm. :sweat:

be sure to open the Listen Port and 100 addresses above it in your Firewall settings.

(i'm using ports 55001-55101)

I don't know what the hell I'm doing. :sweat:

If you figure that out let me know. I get it all the time and no matter what I do it wont go away. I've changed the port, I've opened everyting in my firewall, pinched here and there and nada. :bonk: :bonk: :bonk:

i think i'd been the same boat as you....LOST

but you know a lot more about computers than i would, so i think i would probably just be stuck.... :sweat: :nut:

Here's some links. BTW, why run ZoneAlarm if you can physically firewall your computer with your router?

here is is your source:
http://www.portforward.com/

First, you need to find your router on this list:
http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm

Then look up what application you need to rig:
http://www.portforward.com/cports.htm
The common port for BitTorrent is 6881-6889... but sometimes this varies per program or user preference. Be sure to check the list to make sure your specific client isn't listed.

If all that fails read here:
http://firewalling.com/routers.htm

I'm trying to follow the Portforward instructions with little success.

Guess I'm an idiot. :banghead:

Giving up for now: I won't be able to sleep if I keep dicking with this crap.

yea that stuff confuses the hell outta me too...

and i am weary of that firewall stuff...don't really want to fiddle with it, despite getting pathetic d/l rates in comparison to Krim and others...my top rate hovers around 160kb/s, and that is peak rates for me...not avg's... :doh:

So how did you manage to get it running at all? :headscratch:

well..with the help from KT, via MSN...and some luck and virtually no computer skills, i was able to d/l Bitcomet, and get started...in no time at all.... :bonk:

happy d/l'ing when you are ready...i didn't fiddle with the firewall or portforwarding.....uh..i don't think i did...and i get somewhat decent rates...i guess....unless you are comparing to Krim or other d/l rates...

Man........ I would kill for that "Pathetic" peak level :banghead:

on some popular j-drama releases...
i get around that, and a full ep 700mb or more, could finish in under an hr...sometimes 45 min...depends...

MM torrents, have good speeds too....i am happy when it hovers over 100/kb sec

You rang? Need help? Ask the D-man.

If you need personal assistance, I'll do what I can. Just let me know what sort of setup you have:
- connection (cable, DSL and what speed they say you have)
- OS (not really that important, actually)
- BT program (I use Azureus, so if you do, it'll make it easier)
- router? Yes, or No
- firewall (using the built-in one with the router, software, OS provided?)

I think that should be all. Overall, here is what I in Azureus:
- Forward both UDP and TCP port 42122 (Azureus: Tools->Options... Connection - Incoming TCP/UDP listen port) to the IP of computer (typically 192.168.x.y on routers)
- Forward both UDP and TCP 6881-6889 (I think you only need TCP or UDP, but I forward both anyways) to the same machine
*Note, 6881-6889 is the default ports for BT. There may be a way to change it for your setup, but I think using the defaults are fine. That's the way I set it.

Forwarding is usually set up in the router, under Advanced, or Routing, or Applications. Different manufacturers have different naming schemes.

Heh. my current D/L is on about 24% after about 4 hours (160/700MB) of fluctuating between 1 ~ 20kB/s.

Although, I did download a 500MB file in about an hour once. Around 140kB/s peak :)

so far...i think i am somewhat content with using Bitcomet, incomparison to what i used before....Bitornado was really bad....
i think my speeds are slow compared to you all, but i stll get in a d/l.....

I may switch to Azureus in the future....

I think BMW needs assistance in Bittorent....hopefully he will keep at it, and try out bittorent, there is so much out there for d/l'ing... :applaud: :bow:

i am not sure on what the others get, when torrents have very low seeders...

i may get around what you are getting on very low seeds....i usually just give up on those....i don't have the patience to wait 20 hours, unless i am desperate for that torrent...

140kb/s, that is good...atleast for me....500-700mb, in about an hour or so...that sounds about right...usually on J-drama new release eps....and other vids. it depends....

That's pretty much what I was doing based on the portforwarding site, but it didn't clearly explain why... Techno-dweebs need to know why. :beaten:

Also, I should be getting my Netgear router today... How will that play (or screw up) things with the DSL modem/router?

Heh, this all could be moot if I discover that the downloads take way too long... I have near-zero patience. :sweat:

if you dont have a router then you dont need to portforward i think..
