BitComet BitComet General Discussion
1

I have been using bitcomet for 2 months without any problems downloading but this week I can not download anything using the bitcomet.

These are my bitcomet configurations on my computer:

Default tracker optimization rules file loaded.

IP rules file: ipfilter.dat loaded, 0 entries.

Start Listening at TCP Port:26225

Start Listening at UDP Port:26225

BitComet 0.70 is running on:

OS Version: Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

Windows XP ICF Status: Firewall TCP port is opened.[Local Area Connection]

Windows XP ICF Status: Firewall UDP port is opened.[Local Area Connection]

Windows XP ICF Status: Firewall TCP port is opened.[1394 Connection]

Windows XP ICF Status: Firewall UDP port is opened.[1394 Connection]

Windows XP WF Status: TCP Port is opened in Windows Firewall.

Windows XP WF Status: UDP Port is opened in Windows Firewall.

Overall Infos: Torrents: 2 | Peers: 0 | Sockets: 0 (HTTP: 23)

TCP Connections: Established: 0 | Half-Open: 0 | Waiting: 0

                   LAN IP: 0.0.0.0 / WAN IP: 0.0.0.0

Overall Download Rate: 0 KB/s Connection Limits: 30 - 60 per task

Overall Upload Rate: 0 KB/s Upload slots: 3 - 5

Is there something I have to adjust? Help! Thanks

You could try changing your port to one in this range 49154 - 65534.

Then if you have a router make sure to adjust your portforwarding rule to match the new port number.

Other than that, if you havent already, read through the settings guide in my sig.

Also try downloading this torrent and tell me if it works

Hi, thanks for the help. I spent over three hours going through all the steps you mentioned and also going through the portforwarding to adjust the settings in the router.

My bitcomet’s configurations are still the following:

BitComet 0.70 is running on:

CPU : Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 3.00GHz 3001 MHz

Do you have any other suggestions that I can try? Thanks

First I need some more info.

Do you have any antivirus / firewall software running on your PC??? (Norton, Mcafee, ZA, etc)

Who is your ISP???

-web browsing works fine right???

What router do you have???

Do you have the DHT Network enabled in Bitcomet???

-is this also not able to connect???

Did that torrent I linked to previously also not work???

In the tracker tab when you start any torrent do all the trackers always give you an error???

Here is the following answers to your questions:

I am using Norton Internet Security 2005 and Windows firewall

My ISP is vc.shawcable.net

DHT is not able to connect on Bitcomet

The torrent link you suggested did not open on Bitcomet

Yes all the trackers have “can’t connect tracker”

I have an old computer linked to the same router and modem. I just tried downloading the Bitcomet and I was able to download and upload without any problems.

Could it be a software problem that is interfering with the TCP connection?

Most likely the problem is because your using two firewalls NIS 2005 and windows firewall, and actually your using three if you include your router. You only need one, or one hardware and one software is OK also.

I would suggest completely removing Norton

Then download and install either AVG free or Avast free antivirus

This should fix your problem
