Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Azureus now hates me. I'm pretty sure it's Azureus. The penultimate time I started it up, it installed some update, and now transfers are glacial (no ETAs). I'm using the NAT/Server port tester, and the ports that were being used now give a NAT error. The default ports give a NAT error. Port
80
gives a NAT error. My firewall hardware/config hasn't changed, and I turned Panda off for the duration of the test.
What should I be checking?
eta: Never mind -- I turned off Upnp and did some other fiddling, and now I'm at least passing the NAT test.
Grr. I'm back. So it's passing the NAT test just fine. But I'm still, despite seeing hundreds of peers and seeders in brackets, getting absolutely no action on that main window. In the status bar at the bottom it lists a download and upload speed, but not next to any of the actual files.
I've seen a couple people on LJ bitching about this update, ita. Which is not really any help, but at least you're not alone.
Okay, so what's the next torrent client in line? This is now useless software to me. Nothing's moving.
Creating a new profile seems to have solved my Firefox problems. Now to migrate settings...
So, I've done my share of torrenting TV programs and never had much trouble. This morning, I tried to torrent something and, after downloading the "seed" file, I opened BitTorrent. Or I should say I tried to open it because it started to open and then closed down without an error message or anything else.
I just installed Tiger last week, although I don't know if that's related. I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar problem or any suggestions on why I would be having this problem now.

The macosx community on LiveJournal is pretty helpful if you just browse through it, as a lot of the people on it (or at least the ones who post) upgraded to Tiger as soon as it came out. On their user info page, if you scroll down, there's a search function where you can search the forum.
Another really useful site, updated daily, is MacFixIt.
Hey Teppy, I disremember - you've used Macs at work for a while, right?
Yup -- 10 years now. I have a G4 tower, running OS 9.1, while my co-worker's G4 is running 10.2.something. I need to convince TPTB to upgrade us to Tiger, b/c it's really annoying to be running different OSs.
Was your iBook the first Mac that you've owned?
