Re: BitTorrent

you need a bitTorrent client to download torrent files.

you can use this:

I personally use shareaza:

Re: BitTorrent

Good to see someone besides me uses shareaza aswell. Its the best P2P client out there, hands down. Its useful for more than just bittorrent.

Re: BitTorrent

My shareaza won’t connect…all three of the networks say its disconnected…:crying: …help! I tried the trouble shooting stuff, but nothing works…unless I am doing it wrong…:confused:

Re: BitTorrent

you have a router i guess?

will have to setup port forwarding. port 6346

tell me which router you have, then I tell you howto?

Re: BitTorrent

^ how do u figure that out??? :D well some files have downloaded a little bit but now shareaza isn't connected and I restarted but still no luck....

Re: BitTorrent

ok tell me which router you have?
if not then you have XP with SP2? XP firewall might be blocking it then!

Re: BitTorrent

Well I am connected through my uni internet....and my comp is windows XP. I just checked and it seems that Sareaza is currently connected through gnutella2. It takes the connection about 20 minutes to connect....literally. Could there possibly be another problem?

Last person to answer this post wins!!!!

Re: BitTorrent

You have to see the thingi that is connected to your PC and then connects yor PC to the uni internet.. that could be a router or a modem. I am not sure.

You could also have a software firewall installed. But I doubt that, since you said it is connected.

Go to 'Control Panel' in XP and then see if you have an icon there with the name Windows Firewall

Re: BitTorrent

pyaari83, i guess ur bit torrent ports are closed.. to check it goto Port Scanners / WhatsMyIP.org
and under “P2P Port Test” click “check ports”

6881 to 6889 must be open..

Re: BitTorrent

Kulfi, she's using shareaza. It uses only port 6346 by default. (can be changed)

Pyari. check in your shareaza settings.
The port for inboud address:

should look something like this:
