Don't quote me but I gather you are connected to the internet through a satellite dish rather than a particular ISP: http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/s...i528672,00.html

ImgBurn should burn the extracted VIDEO_TS if it's complete: http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/...der_imgburn.cfm Have a look and see what you think.

is anyone else having much slower download speeds with the most recent beta of uTorrent? the last beta worked great, and now I peg out at about 60kbps...

I have found that this is simply THE BEST if you are looking for scanning and removing spyware and malware (especially those picked up through massive file downloading and sharing)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_protocol_encryption Kind of windy explanation, Protocol Encryption disguises the packets so that they aren't recognized by an ISP. Use an ip blocker like PeerGuardian, not 100% but good. Won't work on Vista but there is a beta that does or SafePeer in Azureus or ip blocker in utorrent.

Well, all I can say about you being ok with PG is that it's good but not perfect and that I was caught downloading by an MPAA member years ago, got PG and never have been caught again despite thousands of downloads. It's a must have but you're still at some risk, definitely less though but not none.

i'm using utorrent 1.8.1 and am getting the yellow excalmmation point. it says no incoming connections. i'm using windows vista and have turned off norton firewall, made exceptions for utorrent on windows firewall, and turned off my bellsouth internet provider firewall. i had a green check mark for a few minutes but then it went away. i'm downloading at an avg of 62 and uploading at an avg of 7. i went into windows exception and made an exception for utorrent and added the port listed in my utorrent preferences. i have 86 seeds and 30 peers for the file i'm trying to download. i've searched for the last week on utorrent forums and google and can't find anything that makes this turn green permanently. what am i doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong, BellSouth is throttling torrent's: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs You can try a port over 50,000, enabling Protocol Encryption: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/395674 and, as said, forward a router but don't see any of it helping. Try at a low use time like overnight.

no i'm using direct connect to my modem. is there anything else i can do to get around the ISP throttling me besides what you've already stated?
#669
16 Nov 2008 @ 20:48
what is traffic shaping and pro and cons attached to it. also if bellsouth is throttling me that will keep me from getting the green sign and just give me the yellow? is that correct?

Sorry, not that I know of. Edit: very basically, port shaping is ISP's method of limiting p2p use, specifically Bittorrent, which uses large amount's of bandwidth. That can slow their customer's downstream of downloader's if it's Cable. Certain area's can be affected while other's aren't. One argument is you're only using what you paid for, another is that it's illegal but even legal download's are throttled, say Linux. You could try a port like 1720 that other processes use, doubt it'll help though. I have also heard of people having some success changing their DNS Server's to those of Open DNS. http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm and here's a thread about Open DNS: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=150520 I have heard of people being throttled and seeing a green light but not very often.

Setting your upload speed correctly, take this speedtest and report back ( it's in kb {bits} and utorrent reports KB {bytes}: http://www.speedtest.net/ your ISP may be throttling you, is it here: http://www.azureuswiki.com/index.php/Bad_ISPs any router and some modems need port forwarding, is either here: http://portforward.com/guides.htm use a port over 10,000, disable UPnP at options>preferences>connection and use Protocol Encryption: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/395674 does a Port Check at options>Speed Guide show green and make utorrent an exception in any firewall you use. Pick torrent's with lot's of seed's and peer's, more seed's.
