Post Bit Torrent Problems Here

[abrazama]

1) uTorrent 1.8.3 (build 15772)

2) Firewall-only setup

3) No.

4) No.

5) Download speed: 5837 kbps. Upload speed: 2837 kbps.

6) No seeders or leechers available- no kind of connection possible.

7) Used both SOCKS4 and SOCKS5, no difference.

8) http://inferno.demonoid.com:3412/announce

9) HTTP Tunnel v4.4

10) No connections possible.

My university operates a strict no-P2P policy, so I've been using anonymisers and scramblers to download, but each of them's stopped working shortly afterwards. Then HTTP Tunnel worked, (paid version) but has also stopped working. Seems likely the sysadmins are finding a way to close the ports or control the traffic. My logs mostly read "Remote server rejected connection", which I'm guessing is the external network firewall. Any ideas? The problem seems to be the same as many of the other posts I've seen.

Emailed six times over the period since I posted- no response. Is that a working address?

Yes it is a working address. I have received nothing regarding this post.


For utorrent. This is what I would suggest. This is a procedure I use, say, if utorrent becomes corrupted somehow.

Goto: http://www.oldversion.com/ and get utorrent. v1.6 > http://www.oldversion.com/download_uTorrent_1.6.html

Set it up according to the guide Here: http://www.http-tunnel.com/files/uTorrent.pdf

After I have things downloading well. I can then use the automatic update, download and install of utorrent. This keeps all my settings in place and doesn't even interfere with my downloading of a torrent while doing so.

I like the newer version because I can control up and download speeds. But I always set it up this way.

Thanks for the tips- got it working shortly afterwards and forgot to post. Now I have an entirely different problem- apologies if it belongs in the "Client Support" section. If left overnight or for periods of more than a few hours, my HTTP Tunnel client seems to crash, meaning that uTorrent bombards my sysadmin's cache with requests for the proxy the whole night. This has led to my enforced disconnection by the administration, so are there any steps I could take to stop the client crashing, or failing that, arranging for uTorrent to exit instantly if it loses proxy connection? If it happens again I have been told my Net access will be permanently disconnected. Thanks in advance.

You may also want to look into an app called: AlwaysUp. I have it. It does what it says.
