Azureus problem.

Hi, I am trying to set the torrent app up, but the problem is when I type the port in it always comes up with this:

The problem is I've tried forwarding the ports in the router and no firewall is stopping the ports so what could be wrong?

Try using a port other than standard. Many ISPs will be blocking the "standard" BT ports.

Try something up in the 40,000-60,000 range.

Not that simple.

You need to shift your client onto a port that you ISP is not expecting BT on.

Failing that use Usenet.

I've followed that and not one single port I try works.

Could this be why? Also I got failed at the top aswell.

I dont think thats going to solve the problems look above.

Why is none of my ports open or closed? I dont get it I've forwarded plenty of ports.

who is your ISP?

thepharcyde · 14 Dec 2007 at 21:17

have you tried utorrent. You are being throttled pure and simple

CliffyG · 14 Dec 2007 at 23:05

Do you have a software firewall turned on?

Throttled to 0kb/sec? and warning that all my ports are blocked from azureus?

you need to use a random high port as mentioned above. and why the hell are you using grc.com - that's of no help whatsoever. the test button in azureus works just fine....

I tried random ports, every single port was showing message that was in screenie in OP. SOmetimes there was extra saying that the Port could be blocked.

i just noticed on your screenshot, your router supports upnp. have a look at that and enable it. there should also be settings in azureus to let it work with unpnp - give that ago.

Has nothing on UPNP.

well i can see it in your router settings as i mentioned above, and i know azureus has it. try harder.

edit: you shouldn't actually have to do anything in azureus - just make sure it's enabled on your router and azureus should automatically open and configure the ports you need.
