Hi Everyone, thanks in advance for even reading this, you are a good person, unlike myself!!
So I’ve used Comet for a while but today it has stopped working. I’ve had a few different problems:
-
Yellow light on the status bar. I fixed this by opening ports using my router.
-
“UPNP device not found” - I fixed this by enabling UPNP on my router.. god knows how this has worked before, I haven’t changed anything that I know of.
-
All that is now resolved, but when I click Start on one of my downloads, the icon changes to Queued. Here is a screenshot of the current state of play:

Not sure why it came out that small.
So yeah, not a clue why they aren’t downloading. All the searching I’ve done has only returned results for either UPNP device not found OR a yellow light, but nothing where both are fixed and this problem carries on.
Thanks for reading, any input greatly appreciated!
Oh before I forget, here are the vital statistics!!:
- What version of BitComet are you using?
1.27 Stable release
- What type of Internet connection do you have (ADSL, etc.)?
ADSL I think.. just Tiscali broadband?
- Do you have a modem? Do you use a router? What make and model are each one of them? Have you forwarded your port?
It’s a Belkin “ADSL 2 Modem + Wireless G Router” Model F5D7632-4.
Yes I have forwarded port 500001. With the following boxes:
LAN IP Adress: 192.168.2.5
Description: Comet
Protocol type: TCP&UDP
LAN Port: 500001
Public port: 500001
Enable: [checked]
- If you have more than one router, be sure to mention the make and model of both devices, how are they connected (i.e. in which connector of both devices is the network cable plugged) and which one of the devices is connected to or is the modem.
Also, if you have more than one computer make sure to mention in this case, to which router is every one of them connected.
I’m on my laptop, connected wirelessly to the router.
- What version of Windows, Firewall and Antivirus do you use?
Windows 7 Home Premium
64-bit operating system.
I have Windows Firewall activated.
I have Microsoft Security Essentials running.
Thanks again in advance.
