Gadd Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Ok, so I'm having a problem with Bitcomet. First I'll tell you a little bit of what happened before this. Alright so the other day I decided to update my MSN Messenger 7.0 to 7.5. After updating I could no longer use the MSN service and I still haven't had this problem fixed. So yesterday I uninstalled Bitcomet(don't ask why, it was stupid of me) and reinstalled it. I never had problems with Bitcomet before, but now I can't download anything. When I open up Bitcomet it says "Can not listen to port: 25144". And when I try downloading something nothing happens. I have no idea why this is happening. I went to www.canyouseeme.org to see what the problem with the port is, but when I check port 25144 it says: Error: I could not see your service on 69.107.139.76 on port (25144) Reason: Connection timed out". Anyone know a way to fix this? I tried disabling my firewall but that didn't work. I would reeeally appreciate any help. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hi, first I would suggest trying a different port. Also, if you are using a router, you will need to configure it properly for your client to function at peek performance. Do you know what port you were using before you uninstalled you client? I suggest you try some random numbers in the 40,000 to 60,000 range. Some isps restrict common bit torrent ports. Suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now this is probably a stupid question, but how do I use a different port? I don't know what port I was using before I uninstalled it. I just left all the settings the same. I never had any problems before, I just installed it and everything worked properly when I first started using BitComet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Here is the procedure to change ports... options->preferences->listen port. If you are using a router make sure Upnp is enabled. Let us know if this helps. suspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadd Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Man, I don't know what's going on. I'm doing that and each time I enter in a number or select "choose random port" Bitcomet freezes :(. Thanks for the help though man, I appreciate. Do you have any more suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadd Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Never mind, I got it working! :) What I did was I turned off my firewall and then changed the port. This time it didn't freeze I clicked ok and turned my firewall back on. Now things are downloading fine :) Thanks for the help man, I would have never got it working without your help. I really do appreciate it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
