I'm using Azureus to download something from a torrent site, and it all used to be fine but has decided to stop working the other day. It says the NAT is firewalled and so is the DHT. I have the ports forwarded and as I said, it used to work, but I think it's since I've installed the comodo firewall, so not sure if theres something I need to configure. I've tried a different torrent, torrent downloader and different ports and still no luck, usually downloading at around 500KB/s now only 20KB/s.
 
Hmm, seems that if I disable the firewall the NAT is green (which means okay) but the DHT is still firewalled and I get a error saying it is in use by another application.
 
Open your ports... In the software your using there will be settings, go into the settings and find out the out going port and then go into your router (if you use oone) and open the port that the software uses.
 
Thanks guys, disabling the firewall makes it work so i'll just do that when I download a torrent, I will try uTorrent next time as it's on 3GB out of 8GB!
 
You'll still have to open the port in Comodo with Utorrent. :)

Do this :-

Found this guide a while ago if it helps plus remeber to do the last bit of guide or it won't work

Bittorent
A mini tuttorial of how to open ports for bittorent and similar p2p programs
Go at the "Network Monitor" panel and add the following rule

Rule for TCP/UDP protocol

Action = Allow
Protocol = TCP or UDP
Direction = In
Source IP = Any
Destination IP = your computer IP adress (or "Any" )
Source port = Any
Destination port = the port your bittorent program uses for the TCP/UDP connections


You must move the rules up, over the default rule "Block IP in". ( CPF "reads/applicates" the rules from the top to the bottom)
