Utorrent port forwarding problem

**adriand** · 18th June 2006

"Port 38221 does not appear to be open"
For some reason Utorrent has started playing up torrent speeds are slow and when I test to see if ports are open I get the message above.

probe the port here h**ps://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 see if its in steath ,then check anything that might have closed it ,possibly your ip has changed

start/run /ipconfig and check to see if the ip reported is assigned in your router

if its in stealth its software related normally

Every time I run ipconfig the screen comes on for 1 second then disapears cant see the ip

Your ISP could be capping BT speeds?

Do you have protocol encryption enabled?

try it on a latest release of a tv show or something, a really popular one. is their a new simpons series airing just now? download the latest episode from that and see if that is slow. a lot of torrents are just slow and crappy

move your port to one inbetween 50000-51000 ,portforward one of these ,are you attempting a connection via a public site or private site ?

public site =slow speeds, low anonymity ,private sites=fast speeds ,higher anonymity

public site slow speeds are just really slow I agree thanks for the input

I'm having the same problem but for some reason can't get it to forward a port no matter what

for instance I tried 50241 . Mapped it to my ip and no matter what when i try to check it via http://btfaq.com/natcheck.pl I will always fail :/

Yet When checked Via Shieldsup website It says the port is open
