Damn uTorrent...

[silent sniper]

I think KobyKaan's idea is the best actually, but yes, do try the port forwarding.

There's not much that I can upload with 512kb up. I'm not capping my up either. ANd there's no way I'll cap my down for public torrents.

OK, so- I can't use Port Forwarding because I can't get a static IP address because TalkTalk don't allow it. I didn't think they did.

I've set my uTorrent settings to virtually everything including what you have suggested, kobykaan.

The trackers are working fine and always have been.

I'm getting quite annoyed now. I'm going to get my WiiKey next week but have no games or anything for it. It's so damn frustrating. My Firefox downloader thing works a lot faster, which makes me want to do a direct download straight from Firefox, but there's about 50 files to download...

ARGH!

Your ISP has nothing to do with a static IP. You can set a static IP in your local network from your router.

I remember it saying somewhere that TalkTalk can only operate using a dynamic IP. It was either that or my router.

 

[Salamantis]

I have a dynamic IP and I forward my ports fine >__>

Forward you ports using this guide: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers...routerindex.htm (select your router model, then uTorrent on the page after)

Find the megaupload files for whatever you want to download, and use http://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Down...rs/RapGet.shtml to download them all.

What kind of router/modem do you have?

I've said before; a Netgear DG834G. I connect to it using a Netgear WG111v2 USB Wireless device, since my internal wireless card doesn't work with the router.

If torrents don't work, you might want to try the NewsGroup. (Good newsgroup servers are NOT free though).
You might want to look at www.giganews.com . Suscribe for a month, DL as much as you can and then leave

That's what I did when I got my Wiikey.

 

[Livin in a box]

I don't want to pay. Anyway, I'm using RapGet and the first file is working fine and it downloading a lot faster than uTorrent.

 

[Livin in a box]

So- FlashGet gets to 70% of any file and freezes. Great. What next?

I'm not reformatting my laptop! Are you mad?

You can get a static local IP.

Here, I'm using Vista, but the steps should be the same.[*]Disconnect from your router if you're connected. I assume you are if you're reading this

[*]Open your Network Connections (Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections on Vista).[*]Right-click on your wirelss network icon and select Properties.[*]Where it says "This connection uses the ollowing items:" highlight "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.[*]"Obtain an IP address automatically" should be selected, choose "Use the following IP address:"[*]Under "IP address:" enter "192.168.1.XXX" XXX should be a number, but not 1, that's probably your router's IP. I'll use 50 because that's how I set mine up.[*]Under "Subnet mask:" enter "255.255.255.0"[*]Under "Default gateway:" enter "192.168.1.1"[*]Now "Use the following DNS server addresses:" should be selected[*]Under "Preferred DNS server" enter "192.168.1.1"[*]Click "Advanced..." and select the "WINS" tab.[*]Click "Add..." and enter "192.168.1.1"[*]Hit "OK", then "OK" again, and finally "Close"[*]Now reconnect to your router.[*]Right-click on your wireless connection icon and select "Status"[*]Click on the "Details..." button.[*]The "IPv4 IP Address" should say the IP you entered earlier, if not, you did something wrong.[*]Now forward your port to that IP address.

But when I do that, I can't access the internet at all or even my router.

 

[Upperleft]

um, have you missed up your settings?
see this video

i did what i saw from this video .. now it's freakin fast

 

[ZPE]

I don't know anything about uTorrent that will help your situation but just so you know you need to have a dynamic IP address otherwise your internet won't work much like how AOL works.

 

[shtonkalot]

OK, do what Hyperlisk_ said but use 192.168.0.1 in place of 192.168.1.1 for steps 8,10 and 12.

Hyperlisk_, right idea but the default IP for that router is just off. I think you could leave out steps 11 and 12 too..?

**edit**
Livin in a box, don't get your local ethernet (network) connections IP address and your internet connections IP address confused. You can have a static IP for your local connection and a dynamic IP for your internet connection no problem. You cannot change your internet connections IP address in your windows settings. That is on your ISP's side.

**more editing**

But when I do that, I can't access the internet at all or even my router.

That is because your routers IP address is 192.168.0.1 and not 192.168.1.1
You can confirm that by typing "192.168.0.1" (no quotes) into your web browser. You should get the routers log in page at that address. From that webpage you can change the routers settings including the specific port forwarding.

 

[Livin in a box]

I just completely buggered my router, but i've managed to get it up again. I'll never attempt to do the static IP thing again...
