I haven't checked, but your Ctrl G didn't work it pulled up my favorites??  Any other suggestions??

Are you firewalled?   Have you checked to make sure the port utorrent is set for is open on your router?

Hit Ctrl-G to get to the uTorrent Setup Guide.   Hit the run tests button at the bottom to verify if you are or are not firewalled.

Don't know why Ctrl-G didn't work.  Instead take the long way:    Options > Setup Guide

Here are some screen shots! 

In the second screen shot, in the TRACKERS tab, Right Click on the line where it says"http://tracker.etc" and select "Update". 

Also, try making a new Torrent file, and re-ULing it.  It could be that your Torrent file has an error/got corrupted...

I need to do the portforwarding!!!  My upload port is closed I am only set to download.  Anyone have the step by step for this??  Thanks for all the help.

go into your router settings usually http://192.168.1.1    then look for apps and games or something similar.  put in the IP of your computer and the port utorrent is using.

edit:  go here for detailed instructions.

F' it I'm giving up I'm  .  Everyone keep telling me how easy it is to upload to etree and I have worked on this for 2 days with no luck.  LMA is way easier.

I don't understand why it didn't work last night on my computer. I'll upload mine and see how it does. I haven't had trouble before.

^^  I have no luck with this and I'm usually pretty good at Forest Gumping my way through computer problems.   

Edit:  Stu I don't think it will let you create the torrent since I already have it on etree, I just can't get it to seed.

don't give up!  what port is set up in utorrent?  don't use 6969.  use a random port with a high number.  even if ports aren't forwarded it should still work.  enabling UDnP port mapping (under settings > connection) may do it for you.  make sure windows firewall is allowed as well.  do you have any other firewall?  what antivirus?

Port 63090 is what it is set to.  I can't seem to get into my router settings to portforward.  I'm thinking this is my issue.  My virus is Mcfee.

check in the windows firewall to make sure it's allowed there as well.  without port-forwarding it should still work just not as fast.  example:  when we seed from hotels etc we are not forwarded but we still connect just not to as many peers and not as fast sometimes.  you still should be able to get into the settings and get it working.  did you follow instructions for your exact make/model of router?

I have no clue how to mess with the windows fire wall.  I couldn't get into my router settings it keep giving me a name a password to get in and I couldn't get logged in.

windows firewall go to start > control panel > windows firewall.  then look at manage exceptions or something like that.

if you never changed the router password it should be admin/admin

you can google what they are in case they are different than that.  you then need to change them! 

[jbell]

utorrent is enalbed in windows firewall and I can't get into my routers settings.  I know the password, but every name I use for admin doesn't seem to be working.

Edit:  I guess I'm going to have to reset my router!
