coolbuster2007 Posted August 7, 2007 CID Share Posted August 7, 2007 its PFConfig where you can forward ports that are being used by uTorrent. windows firewall is not reliable so i disabled it and used comodo firewall pro instead. the screenie is shown on the thread i created entitiled "My Desktop Screenshots".

fr0stbound Posted August 7, 2007 CID Share Posted August 7, 2007 could you please give a step by step guide on how to use pfconfig? i tried to use before but it asked for a router, which i don't have.so i just picked a random router. are you using a router? if not, please tell how you configured yours.

ripclawph Posted August 8, 2007 Author CID Share Posted August 8, 2007 @coolbuster2007 may i ask what port are you using for utorrent. i already switched to comodo firewall and done all the possible tweaks i could find on the forums but i still can't get a green icon....

thugster_9904 Posted August 8, 2007 CID Share Posted August 8, 2007 @ coolbuster kindly post your PForward settings so it can be used by everyone. Is Comodo Firewall a better firewall than Windows'? Good Day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolbuster2007 Posted August 8, 2007 CID Share Posted August 8, 2007 @coolbuster2007 may i ask what port are you using for utorrent. i already switched to comodo firewall and done all the possible tweaks i could find on the forums but i still can't get a green icon.... try to skip if it asks for a router or choose any router from motorola from the list updated from portforward.com as i posted before, i just forwarded ports used by p2p clients most particularly uTorrent. comodo firewall is far better than the default windows firewall. however, you have to disable entirely the latter to avoid conflict. with comodo, its easy to allow uTorrent ports or block high severity events by protocol analysis. i advise you to use a port above 40000 but not more than 60000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thugster_9904 Posted August 9, 2007 CID Share Posted August 9, 2007 @coolbuster I'll try that later on.. I'll just have to disable windows firewall right? Hope to get some great results! Just one thing, why is it that even though i got so many peers and seeds in uttorent, none of them is letting me download.. I also seeding other torrents so i also share.. Hmm....

coolbuster2007 Posted August 9, 2007 CID Share Posted August 9, 2007 the torrent tracker sites log the seeders and peers. however, if few of them are available during your download and upload (PCs or uTorrents are turned off), you will have less for both dl and ul.

fr0stbound Posted August 9, 2007 CID Share Posted August 9, 2007 speed depends on your settings and connection. compared to vuse, utorrent is better. if you want to stick with azureus, use the older versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fr0stbound Posted August 9, 2007 CID Share Posted August 9, 2007 only to the vuse version. since vuse eats up a lot of resources like RAM. as compared to utorrent which is very light on resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolbuster2007 Posted August 9, 2007 CID Share Posted August 9, 2007 azureus is created on java that's why it uses a lot of RAM. uTorrent is a standalone program and uses less RAM. but you can use both, together or alternately, depending on you memory capacity, speed and P2P settings.

snip07 Posted August 10, 2007 CID Share Posted August 10, 2007 I agree with you guys uTorrent is better than any torrent clients i have tested all torrent client uTorrent, Azureus, BitLord, BitComet, etc but uTorrent is the best of them all coz it doesnt hog your CPU Usage and its only 218kb in size that's why its called μ(micro)Torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
