| 542119 | 2007-04-18 12:56:00 | hi im currently on go large and have billions BIPAC7100s adsl modem. i have followed the instructions on portforwarding.com and opened the ports reqiured for torrents and joost, but when i used port checker provided by uTorrent, it still says the ports are closed, eventhough it says open in the adsl setting. does any one know what in the world is happening?? the port i tried to open is 33333 on both udp and TCP. |

| 542120 | 2007-04-18 13:06:00 | i would recommend switching to azureus and trying again, its alot faster, especially over routers i have found. then follow port forwards guides to set it up, and you will be all good, just use the default ports that azureus uses. | Codex (3761) | ||
| 542121 | 2007-04-18 21:00:00 | No! Azureus is NOT faster! Find me some solid benchmarking that says it is! If speed were to be factored into things I would say that Azureus would be _slower_ due to it being Java-writted, using more memory & resources just for the program itself and not downloads. There should be no speed difference between Azureus or uTorrent :( Azureus *does* have some good guides though ;) Orokato, Have you tried saving the settings in the router then restarting it? Some routers require that the unit be reset before it applies the port-forward settings :) And Yes, the site that uTorrent uses to tell you if a port is forwarded is pretty accurate, if it says its not forwarding then its because its not :( I wondered myself if it was true or not... found my problem was I wasnt setting up my router correctly to do the port-forward. Keep trying.. if need be, post screenshots :) |

| 542122 | 2007-04-18 21:09:00 | As a side note, Google for: speed comparison azureus utorrent Click the first link that comes up (Its just a blog of the 2nd link that comes up), then read the whole story... You'll see we're talking about a matter of seconds here for a 3GB file. Could simply be the seeders at the time, luck of the draw who the client connects to, but there is no difference between clients :) |

There should be no speed difference between Azureus or uTorrent :( Exactly, the reason for the different speeds will be due to the different settings on each of the clients. you can't really compare the speeds of them due to far too many outside factors, heck one peer can make a_lot of speed difference... I prefer uTorrent over anything, you don't even know it is running :thumbs: This could be a stupid question... but got to check... you did set uTorrent to use the port that you opened? right? :p |

| 542124 | 2007-04-19 00:34:00 | Did you add them as an exception in Firewall? | Enigmur (10547) | ||
| 542125 | 2007-04-19 02:33:00 | yes, i have tried everything in my router's settting, turned nat off, which just some how stopped my internet connection, i added all the ports to my exception list in virtual server, turned windows xp sp2 firewall off . so could it be something to do with xtra? does anyone know if telecom blocks ports for go large plan?? |

| 542126 | 2007-04-19 03:23:00 | Is uPnP enabled in the modem? if so, set uTorrent up so it uses that instead of a perdefined port, I have found that works best... (ease of use) if not enable it and set uTorrent to use that | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 542127 | 2007-04-19 08:53:00 | Yeah you need NAT. Have you saved the settings to the router and restarted it from within the web interface? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
