I've got a nat error, but the ports open

So I'm using Azureus (Vuze now) and I'm trying to use it right, the NAT/Firewall test says my port is fine, the test says it's ...OK!

However I've still got those sad yellow smileyfaces that say I have a NAT error, and even though I'm connected 35 peers and 12 seeds I'm getting an epic download speed of 1.6-7.6 kb/s.

This just will not do my friends, what would the problem be?

here's some pictures to help show where I am at:




^ This pic shows how my ports are forwarded. I followed www.portforward.com down to the letter, yet as you can see with #4 the port sniffer says the port is not open, perhaps that's why my downloads are slow.

And here's a picture of my current download speed, with nothing else but firefox being used.

Disable UPnP at Tools>Options>Plugins, think that's it. Try a port over 50,000 and Protocol Encryption: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/395674

Hmm, disabling UpNp had no effect and encryption made it download at 780~ b/s, even worse.

Hmm, still no fix, thanks though.

Try this download, 2.4.0, I just did for a few minutes and was already getting good speeds. Let it run long enough to see, maybe 15 minutes: http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/

Wait why are you wanting me to download Open Office, just to test download speeds?

Just to check your speed on a known download. It's legal and you can delete whatever part of it you download. You're not being set up to get some malware While I'm here, are these speeds on public sites and is DHT on or off: Tools -> Options -> Plugins -> Distributed Database and try it if these are public.

Yea I've left the OpenOffice download for 2.4.0 and at first it was about 20kb/s a second, I checked later, and it was 628 kb/s which means it was aobut 2 minutes till end of download. Wow.

AND! it still had a yellow smiley face next to it.

The download that's bugging me is a 7gig download of a tv show from a website (website ends in "bay", i don't know what kinda discretion I need to show here...)

Is the speed issue on every download and do you ever see a green light. Now and then I get a yellow light in utorrent, means nothing. Once it stayed red for a solid week and still meant nothing. Could be the download was so fast, the light didn't have time to change to green. At any rate, that proves you're set up fine, has to be the file. How many total seeds and peers, not the number of your connections?

You got me curious and I had to download that file again to see. The light was yellow until about 30% and then went green but I haven't your speed. Anyway, it was only the speed I was interested in. There could be something in this torrent.jpg to help but I doubt it: http://www.plucky.org/component/option,c...le,torrent.jpg/

That's pretty bad. I can't explain why Open Office was fine and other torrents aren't. That's probably a public site so I would assune most of those seeds have their upload set way down, Are you and most of the peers you're connected to at the same point? Have you taken a good speedtest and set your upload correctly but that should affect all downloads? http://www.speedtest.net is very accurate and shows in kb and Azureus shows in KB, 8 kbps = 1 KBps and you enter 80% of the KBps in Azureus. I don't usually suggest a different client but maybe try the latest utorrent or many still use version 1.6, build 474 from before it was bought out: http://www.filehippo.com/download_utorrent/1258/

Okay here's my speed test results

http://www.speedtest.net/result/292605396.png

Well i DL'd that version of uTorrent (I think I am using that version BTW, I chose Azureus though because i liked the Vuze update.)

However even with this, my download is

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/Ragedemonz/utorrentpic.jpg

Still pitiful

Um, I guess I just don't know how to set up uTorrent. With my speed settings, what rate should I set my upload/download speeds and should I still have UPnP on. Anything else I should turn on to maximize performance?

I think I see your answer, Bellsouth: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad...ates_of_America I also think I read that some Bellsouth areas have no Bittorrent issue and, last I heard, they were saying no area did and denying all. Try in an off peak time, 12:00 AM - 6:00 AM and see if that helps

Well from the looks of that Bellsouth looks like an epic ISP for torrents.

Well even with uTorrent, I'm still getting about 30kb/s for this Gundam Wing download. I guess it might just be them, not me. Currently I've got unlimited download/upload, I haven't optimized it. What should I set it to in order to get the best speed?

In utorrent, go to options>speed guide>connection type and select the closest number to 195, appears to be 192 and utorrent will automatically set it for you. You can use 20 KB upload in Azureus and you should take that speed test on a few days at different times and when school goes back in to get a good average, specially if that's Cable.

I did some editing of my first post for other viewers to see what's going on with my machine, also mistycat's been a great deal of help so far, so maybe those images will help enlighten.
