BitComet can't download any torrents!!

what kind of specific message ur getting??
and have u tried any other torrent software?
Ru using firewall??

yesterday(20th march) i was also experiencing problems downloading torrents from bwtorrents as it was giving connection error for all torrents.
i guess it was a problem on their side but now it is working fine.
hope geekboy was also not trying from the same site!

@grinning_devil,I 've also tried BitTorrent.The Torrent programs do not give any errors,they just do start downloading!!!I am using ZoneAlarm Firewall.

@ankurgupta.me,I had searched many torrent sites,but the result is the same!

I've also heard that you have to change some settings on the router to download torrents.How can I do it?

Did u give persmission to the torrent programs in zone alarm's connexions tab for permission to send and receive info.
If not allow it

I think you need to modify some settings in the Proxy / Firewall options .

In ZoneAlarm, under the program control tab,I have allowed BitComet full access.But still files are not getting downloaded.Also can you recommend any other Torrent software?

i would reccomend Azureus .

I have tried Azureus,but at the Configuration Wizard just after installation,
when I click on "Test",it tries to listen at a random port(port 19078 in my case),and it says "Testing Port 19078...NAT Error".How can I solve this?I have given access to Azureus in ZoneAlarm.

Dude I used BSNL Dataone and i got no such problem with azureus so cant help you much in this case .

Note for everyone:I have a router!!I think I need to configure port forwarding but how can I do so?My router is ZTE ZXDSL 831D.

You can configure your router, to work properly with your client using this tutorial:
Faster torrents

NAT error should be configured by the method in the tutorial.
Also, what icon were you getting in Bitcomet beside the torrents? These icons can help you specificallly identify the related problem.
