Re: The BitTorrent Helper Thread
Hi,
I am experiencing severly slow upload speeds while trying to torrent. It seems to start uploading faster and faster (as a tcp connection should do) then reaches some point after 100kbps, even after 200kbps upload speed, then drops down to 0 and no longer uploads for some time. I thought that maybe my ISP was policing the traffic and maxed my upload speed to 35kbps but seem to be having no success.
I believe the issue to be the router/firewall I am behind, which happens to be a sonicwall router. Has anyone else sucesfully configured one of these routers to torrent? I added the utorrent port 28929 as a service and set an accessrule to allow traffic on that port to my torrenting computer.
I have never been able to portforward completly succesfully, something always doesnt work the way it should, with the sonicwall router, some games still experience issues but work. I think it may be due to the added complexity of defining a service then applying an access rule.
If anyone has ever worked with one of these routers or can think of something else I could try please let me know.
Thank you
//edit the utorrent log error I am getting after trying to connect to peers is as follows xx.xx.xx.xx: Disconnect: Peer Error: offline(timed out)
