Great, the option where you can enable DHT on just one specific torrent is great, AFAIK you can't do that in any other client which supports DHT, atleast not in DHT, and it's good 'cause now you can have it disabled by default, but then if you leech something from a public tracker (occassionally) you can enable it on just that torrent.

Got the same problem myself. Jesus, how annoying. Ended up disabling the Norton Internet Worm Protection.

Does that happen only with µTorrent? Make sure you've forwarded the right port.
#463324 by jyap (Power User) at 2005-11-26 22:25:21 (7 years ago) - [Report]
it used to happen to azureus sometimes...but not as much...i've forwarded port 49152 - 65535 and i'm using 49153 for utorrent and i'm able reach max upload speed on this port...strange enough it's still unconnectable...
#463367 by hOG (Crusader Mod) at 2005-11-26 23:11:51 (7 years ago) - [Report]
@jyap
That's a lot of ports. Stick to like 10 or so. Azureus only use 1 port and so does BitComet. Don't know about utorrent. No need to forward that many ports unless of course you need all of them open...
#463656 by negge (Power User) at 2005-11-27 09:52:24 (7 years ago) - [Report]
Indeed it could be dangerous to have that many ports open, uTorrent only uses one single port so you only need to forward that one.

It never hit full speeds for me and the upload bounced about from 40-55 kbps, when in BC 0.60 its a constant 55 kbps on the exact same seeds/torrents. The downloads never get nowhere near 850+kbps that BC gets
so for me and my upload stats...think I will stick with BC 0.60
