Re: Win XP suks....

Which torrent client are you using?

Re: torrent blues in win XP

umm...its not exactly pirated...

am using utorrent

Re: Win XP suks....

Change your thread's title
Just because you face the problem of not able to download using your torrent client, don't jump to conclusions and say Win XP sucks
You might have even misconfigured your settings too in uTorrent
If you are using Windows XP SP2 execute the command firewall.cpl and check whether uTorrent is listed under Exceptions

If uTorrent is listed there, then its not an issue with XP

^^ True... and changing the thread title will also give you better responses, from people who really the solution.. Otherwise, many will just ignore this thread..!!

Re: Win XP suks....

Windows XP ROCKS

Re: Win XP suks....

He has changed the title, at least the one he can and that is the first post. But members cannot change the title of the thread.

Re: Win XP suks....

use BitLord
I had never faced any prob from this

mee too using the same

Re: Win XP suks....

@satyamy...but is this a software prob? coz i used utorrent on win2k before w/o ne probs at all...this started only after i moved onto winxp sp2

no more suggestions guys???

Re: Win XP suks....

no idea about utorrent...........
1st pls use bitlord than let us know if the prob is solved or not

Re: Win XP suks....

If have a firewall allow the torrent client to access the net.
I recommend that you use Azureus. Thugh it is a memory intensive it offers lot better speed control than utorrent.
Also check out portforward.com to properly forward your router's ports.
Check your speed at dslreports.com and tweaks are available at at dslreports.com\drtcp.
And for torrents go for the one with lesser leeches ad more seeds.

Re: Win XP suks....

Win XP suks....

amen to that brother

Re: Win XP suks....

^^ahh brother.....wish i cud free myself from the shackles of windows..

anyways....i found out wat the culprit was....it was sum network rule in Comodo.
now i am happily downloadin

btw...am getting a speed of 22-23kbps avg on my 256kbps cable connection.
is thr any way to increase this? like mayb around 30kbps? i have tried most of the methods....like patching tcpip.sys with the event handler, using greedytorrent, applying utorrent tweaks. is thr anythin else that can speed up my torrents?

Re: Win XP suks....

port forwarding

go to portforward.com & do as they have told & you can get speeds upto 32 Kbps

kirangp n s18000rpm....but i'll require port forwarding only if i got a router, rite? or am i gettin this wrong??
