| 689555 | 2008-07-18 20:08:00 | nah Wratterus. I just can't get the torrent to work. Tried various fixes (where you do portforwarding yourself) but that only stuffed the router. Had to restore my settings to a previous day's. Unfortunately the son is not here - he used it extensively, but he's in Wellie these days. sarel |

| 689559 | 2008-07-19 05:17:00 | Also, use a version of uTorrent no newer than 1.6.1. Versions after that were released after uTorrent was purchased by BitTorrent Inc (I think), which is own by Lionhead (Lions gate?) studios, Fox and several other major film studios. With the new versions, when you first load up, it contacts IPs owned by the major film studios. I'm not sure what it does, perhaps it notifies them what torrent files you have loaded up. You sure about that? Smells an urban legend to me. |

| 689560 | 2008-07-19 05:43:00 | yes, you can check it yourself: get your firewall to block utorrent load up utorrent and stop all torrents so it should have no need to access the internet. Close utorrent, the load it up again. when your firewall asks if you want to allow utorrent access to the internet, check the details; see what IP it is trying to contact go to www.samspade.org and put in the ip. It will belong to one of the film studios. I found that out by upgrading to the latest version, then went back to an older version. BitTorrent Inc is partnered with 60 other companies including 20th Century Fox, Comedy Central, Lionsgate Films,, MTV, Paramount, Spike TV, Warner Brothers according to its website. |

| 689562 | 2008-07-20 00:56:00 | Anyone using P2P without Peerguardian is foolish. Load it up before loading your torrent client then watch the ip adresses it blocks, truely stagering. uTorrent shouldn't be that hard to set up, the router should have upnp enabled as utorrent will randomise the port each time its loaded. On the main start page there is an orange gear, click and go to "connection" tick all boxes in the top pane. Under "bittorent" check all boxes except "limit local peer bandwidth" in the "Additional Bittorent features "- this allows dht, which makes finding peers easier if the tracker is down. If I remember correctly, you'll need to load a torrent file to get a decent node search going on, if you've got nothing loaded whats utorrent trying to connect to ? And please please check this-phoenixlabs.org |

| 689563 | 2008-07-20 01:01:00 | And if youre using a router, you probably need a static ip (under your LAN/properites). So you can add the ports to the router |

| 689564 | 2008-07-20 01:15:00 | Whilst I defer to your unquestioned superior knowledge Speedy, I also have my system set up with static ip's, wouldn't enabling upnp on the router make that redundant ? I was under the impression that upnp meant that you needn't port forward ? | limepile (96) | ||
