downloading problems with azureus

LadyFurby

Hi,

I downloaded Azureus but can not get it to work. I am getting the red smiley face on the left when i try to downlaod anything.

I have opened the ports on my router and configured azureus as per the guide on the azureus site. I am using a linksys router with a zyxel prestige 600 modem.

If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Thanks

If you double click on a torrent and take a look at tracker status what does it say?

The tracker status says:

Connection Error (UnknownHostException:tracker.scenetorrents.org)

Looks like the server that the tracker is on is down, or the tracker may not be there anymore.

Should still be able to connect to something though.

You may want to check if your ports are all open. There should be a connection wizard in Azureus that will tell you this.

If they are not then you are probably behind a firewall or broadband router that needs its ports opened/ unblocked.

The new Azureus (2.3.0.6) has an extra green light at the bottom to show if the TCP port is open properly or not.

if your using two routers, a dsl router and a wireless router, you will need to disable the NAT feature on the wireless router completely, otherwise the ports wont forward properly. (Something to do with the ip addresses they assign, its better that the dsl router assigns you one not the wireless router, so just disable the NAT feature)
I had the same problem, I was getting a read face and all the ports had an NAT error, after disabling the NAT on the wireless router and forwarding the ports on the dsl modem, im getting green faces all the time and near steady downloads of 125k/s

The solution is in more detail in the knowledge base forum at portforwarding.com
