I read in some obscure blog about using particular ports. In the LISTENING PORT area checkĪll the boxes but RANDOMIZE EACH PORT START. Allow Incoming Legacy Connections box checked. I have every box checked but Limit Local Peer Bandwidth and no IP Hostname to report to Tracker. No idea why this should be there.Hi, thanks for the help but all my files are like this :īut there is seed for these files because it cames from a website !? since yesterday nothing works !!īusator: Try this: On BitTorrent program page with your Active Torrents, go to OPTIONS, PREFERENCES, BitTorrent. All this has happened since then.Īlso I see I have started to get this yellow starred tick instead of a green tick when I run the setup guide. I had asked my ISP to check my setup after an earlier post a few weeks back about poor speeds and they changed my entire setup to fibre and doubled the speed. I noticed this morning that most of the torrents that were red yesterday were green earlier today but I have just checked and they are back to red again! Also, a well seeded torrent will start/download just as quick with no trackers.Īnyway, if you find the red seeding status annoying, you can simply remove any/all of the none working trackers by right-clicking on an offending tracker>Remove Tracker. Unless the torrent is private, trackers aren't really necessary. A tracker being offline can either be temporary or permanent. Red seeding means one or more trackers is not working/offline. Is there any chance of advising on settings for seeding and speeding things up? I have reset uTorrent using the downloaded settings.dat, but it doesn't seem to be working as it did at first.

I would estimate that about 80% of torrents are now red instead of green. I can't find out what that means, but I assume that for some reason it means they aren't available for upload although they are all in the folder I store torrents in. The whole things seems to have slowed down a lot, but as my ISP has doubled my speed and put me on fibre, I would have thought it should not do that.Īlso many torrents don't seem to seed as they did and today I suddenly see that many of them are red, as in the attached picture.

To confuse things further, I think I saw that there may have been an update to uTorrent since then because now I find that things aren't working as as well as before.įor example, torrents now take ages to start downloading and seeding. I also contacted my ISP and asked what they could do so after supplying a new router, two days later they decided to upgrade me to fibre and increased my download speed to 100 M at the same time. Last month I asked why I was having problems with uTorrent and Rafi suggested I use his settings.dat file which I did and all was fine - for a while.
