Ity looks like the hamsters have gone on strike again. No doubt we’ll get the usual sobs, wailing and gnashing of teeth because scores aren’t being upgraded. As before, bitcomet points don’t pay for the beer (or give you super abilities in any of the online games) so it’s not a big deal really. You can still upload and download (which is what the app is for really).
It will be back when it’s back.

Thank you, we get so many posts every time the website is down and no every time we have to post the same replies. I also tend to get my inbox filled with messages even though support isn’t offered in private messages.
Stand by for another load - it looks like it went down round 0600 GMT again I’ll get sovereign yet - it’s rigged bigly by corrupt media, opinion polls, emmys and that wall :blink: :rolleyes: 
:o
You win the internet for a day… thanks for making me laugh
Yes server down again, unable to log in.
And once more on to the breach:
** Internal Server Error**
** SoapClient::SoapClient(http://member.bitcomet.com/webservice/wsdl): failed to open stream: Connection refused**
An internal error occurred while the Web server was processing your request. Please contact the webmaster to report this problem.
Thank you.
the seb server might be down but points are still accumulating (no panicing please_
Can log in, but displays “Port Detection Failed”.
Uploading, Downloading and points mysteriously unaffected.
Recommend using the Ninja Hamster Squad.
Showing “Port Detection Failed”
Some Torrents are dead slow, even though they have a very good health
Port detection failure is normally down to your computer setup and not the server. It could also be your ISP blocking that port
Check that:
(a) your firewall isn’t blocking it and
(b ) that you have port forwarding setup correctly on your router. That usually means allocating a fixed ip on the computer with the router defined as a gateway (manual settings in network properties). The router has to be set to allow the appropriate port through to the computer with the specified IP address. Pick a random port somewhere in the 14,000 series which isn’t normally used
my port has also failed
Been using Bitcomet for years even before i made an ID on it
Bitcomet is not blocked by my Firewall
Port Forwarding is done properly
Every other torrent client is working just fine
Still there is a Port Detection Failed message on Bitcomet
I guess its a problem from Bitcomet’s side
I, too, after you upgrade to Version 1.43 was the show “Port Detection Failed”
Ports are nothing to do with the server errors though. It could be a bug in 1.43. Did you try rolling back to 1.42?
Rolled back Bitcomet to 1.42, still getting the same problem.
As I said, this thread was on server problems. Bugs are in a different forum (and there is a thread on the port problem here: http://www.cometforums.com/topic/12799826-port-detection-constantly-fails/ )
This thing is going crazy - my points go up but my ranking goes backwards - it’s all a consipracy I tell ya :ph34r: :lol: :rolleyes: :unsure:
If the light is yellow, that means you contacted our server but were blocked from receiving an unrelated connection back from the server to test your port and that means you are blocked, if the light is grey, it means it could not connect our server to request the test so it could have nothing to do with you, nor any problem, just a down or busy server. Coding was added to bitcomet so that when an active torrent receives a remote connection, the light will change to green in case there was something preventing the active test. Try running a popular torrent and see if it turns green, and you can also manually retest the port using the context menu with a “right click”.
Since 2 days ago when i use the client it says port detection failed. Is the server down at this time??
I just confirmed it’s working perfectly for me, active port detection changed light from grey to green in a few seconds and comet ID login also completed quickly. If your router’s uPnP is slow, sometimes that causes the test to time out or fail, you can try to “right click” and select “test again”, or once bitcomet detects remote connections on an active torrent the secondary passive test should turn the light to green.
