Topic: torrent troubles

[thepassionofyonder]

maybe somebody can help.
over the last few days, my torrents/internet stop stop working.
theyre uploading fine,internet works fine...then i check back a few hours later, and the torrents arent uploading anything, and my internet doesnt connect. a simple re-start of the computer fixes it, but i want this thing to run for days, not hours.
any suggestions? any fixes?
thanks

what BT client? I personally would uninstall whatever i had and try and figure out utorrent. def worth your time IMO to configure and it has protocol encryption as well so your internet provider doesnt know youre d/l'ing torrents

utorrent is what im using. i just updated it too...maybe thats the problem.
not really sure, but it sure does suck.

hmmm, are your ports forwarded I think last time I updated my port forwarding numbers were changed and i just had to change my port numbers on my linksys router to open them up, really simple actually if you read everything the port forwarding page tells you to do

your problem probably was updating utorrent.  stick with 1.6 NOT 1.6.1

see the thread "dime bt" or something like that and there is a sendspace link for 1.6
