Title: wierd BT stuff
Post by: John R on January 18, 2005, 10:54:32 AM: I'm in the middle oif the JGB torrents(5/31 & 6/1/83) running one on each of my computers. On my lappy(wireless) i'm now a seeder for 5/31, on my desktop(ethernet) i'm a leecher. The wierd thing is, the tracker for my desktop says I'm firewalled and I'm not for the lappy. The d-link router is port forwarded w/6881-6999, and I turned off the window's firewall on the desktop, stopped the torrent, restarted the computer(windows firewall still off) and the tracker still shows me as firewalled. I really don't want to be a drain/hinderance to the system, and want to DL asap so i can seed. What could be the issue? Anywhere else i should look?

Thanks

jr

Hope this fixes your problem. ;D
