Dakota Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 (edited) I can download with BitTorrent fine, but I noticed there is hardly ever any bandwidth going up. I would like to seed Mandriva but I don't think its working. So far the max speed uploading is 1KB/s. I have port 6881-6889 on my router forwarded to my box and 6881-6889 opened in MCC firewall. Any ideas? Dakota Edited June 28, 2005 by Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 What client are you using? Most clients have an option that allows you to set the upload speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Was using the one that came with Mandriva LE2005, 4.0.1 Figured it might be a bug so went to 4.0.2 did not work either. Running 4.1.2 now with no luck. I have the upload rate set at 30KB/s Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Try limiting the number of incoming connections. Unlimited connections disrupts your internet connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted June 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 I have done that as well. I noticed that most peers show up as Local instead of remote, is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowchaser Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 That is a NAT problem most likely in your router . you may want to Port forward and shut off you router firewall (if you feel OK with that) once you do this you should be able to get Local and Remote connections.

I am able to run other servers with the firewall enabled. Like I said I can download at very high speeds but can not upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Perhaps it's your ISP? Mine is limiting bittorrent traffic during peak hours so it's possible for them to control it. Try a windows/apple machine to see if it makes a difference. If not it is probably not you but something (ISP) else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try a windows/apple machine to see if it makes a difference. If not it is probably not you but something (ISP) else. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, that is what I also think, Im going to set Bittorrent to use a very high port like 60010 and see if that works. My isp blocks a lot of ports, however 6881 did not appear to be blocked by my isp. I know that a lot of trojan ports like netbus and subseven are not closed by my isp but actaully appear open and intercepted. Strange?

Dakota Posted June 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Okay, set port at 60053 and BitTorrent still will not upload. Is there another way an ISP can block traffic other than ports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Yes. They can tell their servers to dump bittorrent data in the bin :) http://www.sandvine.com/solutions/p2p_policy_mngmt.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted June 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 (edited) That must be it then. I have tried everything I know of to get bittorrent to run. Although they do allow me 5 Mbps down which is amazing for 45 dollars a month so I really can not complain. I just sent them an email asking for a list of blocked ports, data and services. This should be interesting... Edited June 28, 2005 by Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 My ISP claims they do not block bittorrent. Must be something else. Here is their reply. "Suscom blocks an extensive ranges of ports for different allocations both udp and tcp, incoming and outgoing. What ports in particular are you concerned with? We do not block bittorrent, but if you are using your Sucom connection for filesharing, copyrighted or otherwise you run the risk of disconnection and potential legal action. Thank you.
