Hi man back again, been looking for an answer to my latest problem but found none, and you are the man.i recently had a nightmare with my system and had to do a complete restore. However , now i reinstalled u torrent and set it back up exactly the same way, in my logger it just says "failed to map UPnP port and i get loads of hash fails. also i am only getting around 60 kb/s dl speed , where before i was getting around 200. Any ideas please?

looks like we have the same problem mate! since I didn't change anything in my router (just restarted it by pressing the button), I'm just gonna wait til its ok. It happened to me before and it went back to normal after 3 days. But for some reason,now its been a week and it still couldn't find the UPnP port.

I didn't even change my settings in my router. I just restarted it because my internet crashed again. :(

oh well, I'm hoping it will get back real soon!

mine can never map the upnp port, i just figured it didnt have one but it has never affected my speeds.

im on a 2.2mb cable line and i max out at 256 down and 35 up(kps). with my upload speed set to 27 i can still hit 245 down if thers not much trafic from my neighbers as they can knock 5/10% off my total speeds.

"
What are these "a piece has failed an hash check" messages?

Bittorrent clients check the data they receive for integrity. When a piece fails this check it is automatically re-downloaded. Occasional hash fails are a common occurrence, and you shouldn't worry.

Some clients have an (advanced) option/preference to 'kick/ban clients that send you bad data' or similar. It should be turned on, since it makes sure that if a peer repeatedly sends you pieces that fail the hash check it will be ignored in the future. "

if utorrent has it, it would be in the peer tab.

hey guys i was wondering if any of you could possibly know what's going on with my microtorrent. i followed the guide on the first page and it helped me out a lot...microtorrent was working amazingly, but now after a week of no problems it just all of a sudden stopped working...no downloading and no uploading when i seed something...DHT is enabled but it says "waiting to log in" or "connected to one node"...i didnt mess witht the preferences after it started working in the beginning and now i have no idea what's going on...does anyone else have this problem? i am at a college campus but that never stopped anything from working before...any ideas?? any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Hmm, read your post, and am still a little upset with the result of my speed on downloads

On http://www.speakeasy.net, it says my download is about 2500, and upload is about 320

I set my global max upload to 35, and my download to unlimited. But, im getting about a 20 for my download on files (files with about 50 seeds, and 130 peers)

The weird thing, is that i have gotten about a 150 download peek before, when it was averaging 50. Now, it is averaging about 20 :(

Note: Im running on Bellsouth, and on a Netgear WPN824 and have done the portforwarding (except, i didnt set up a static IP)

Note2: According to my bellsouth site, I am suppose to get "Up to 3 Mbps/
384 Kbps"

-edit-
Also, I think one of the main problems I am unable to get a good download speed, is because I am getting a "no incoming connection" icon at the bottom of the Utorrent.
I believe I was able to set myself up for a static IP, and I did do the port fowarding... but, for some reason I am still getting that little icon.

I have the same problems as well. but that was before. If you are sure that you did everything in this guide, then you don't have to worry. Did you restart your router in any case? Cuz if you did, just wait a couple of days to recieve incoming connection. I, too, got that little red icon logo at the buttom of the screen saying that no network connection are incoming. Well, that happened after I restarted my router. Then it just turned green again after a couple of days. LOL, I hope this helps.

Oky-doky, here are the pics for the problem. Showing everything should be right, but download speed still being slow, and the little error thing still being at the bottom

And yet, it is peaking at about 50 right now

Hopefully it doesnt take mine a week like it took you >_<. That would defintly suck. Especially if it takes that long after a router reset
