manisare · June 15th, 2007

The torrent wont download.. The green light is on which indicates its not blocked. I also cant enter my linksys router port forward options. I try default password serveral times and does nto work. I am using a WRT300N

I use mu torrent and it works great. Checks the port for you and so far has the best DL speeds compared to other clients Ive used.

My Torrent is not downloading. I tried U Torrent and still its not downloading anything. I tihnk its my ports but i cant access it...

I've seen some torrents take several minutes before they started downloading. Try azureus if both uTorrent and Bit Comet are failing

Check your firewall settings also.

Lead Head is right, I tried BitComet a few times and the torrents wouldn't start for days. I would open the same torrent in Azureus and it would start right up. You also have to be careful with BitComet it's full of spyware.

oh alright then i ll use that Azureus, but do i need to do port forwarding??

Usually, with my Linksys router the ports open automatically, but on my Westell I have to manually configure it to allow connections through. Also as Joker said, look at your firewall settings. Windows is the easiest to work with, but some like Nortons and Commodo can be a pain. You'll have to make sure that TCP connections are allowed Outgoing and Incoming on your specified port for most firewalls.
