Torrents not working on dsl.. normal speedstream 4200 modem running through a Cnet switch , i forwarded the ports but it still won't work , other P2P works fine... any help?
which ports u opened? and for which protocols?
i think bit torrent requires TCP and UDP protocols allowed on ports 6880-6889.
Also it might be the client causing problems. state which client you are using and exactly what errors are reported.

Maybe TSTT sensed you had GreenDOT and is playing with you.
Honestly, read the error message
Rejected by tracker
No tracker found
I/O Error (not enough disk space)

Azereus .... usually it has no problem with tracker , but it refuses to connect to any peers or seeds at all even though it detects thousands, sometimes it doesnt find the tracker , gets like 60 peers and stays in the red anyway , the normal bittorrent client works but @ 4k a second... haven't tried any others so far .
I'v forwarded TCP and UDP 6000-7000 since alot of games etc. use this range... still doesn't work. Turned off the firewall in the modem and called tstt to turn off theirs... still doesn't work . Windows firewall is off as well.
Kazaa works fine... most games work fine...
Maybe a firmware upgrade? help please .

actually the firmware upgrade helped us out with the constant disconnects and what not....
use bitlord or abc or something...ent u say normal bittorrent works?? then i doubt it is the ports or the router/switcch

my bad missed the
"normal bittorrent works"
Indeed, try another client.
i agree that azureus is not n00b friendly but it's still my client of choice closely followed by ABC.

Azureus = not that hot
ABC = very good for queueing up torrents
Bit tornado is still my fav overall, to me that client gets u to max speed faster than the others......
the reason i like azureus is that i have numerous OS's installed on my pC and the azureus download folder is on a partition of a disk accessible to all of them. I can keep my torrents active no matter which OS i am using at the time.

Well for us single OS ppl a java based application isn't all that attractive, to slow. I guess it all comes down to preference.
