Its really aweful. I feel like laughing. I must say I had exactly the same problem and i solved it. In all my posts, I've asked to disable the Windows Firewall and to ENABLE it again after configuring it. Please read carefully. Btw, I went through Bitdave's post while I was trying to understand and solve my problem. If the tracker response is ok and nothing is unusual in TRACKERS tab of the torrent, wat should we do then? lol

Please read this article to understand why the device is not found. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886257 Now, follow these steps to solve your problem: Test your port on www.canyouseeme.org If its positive then follow the next step. If its negative then u need to forward the port on your router. Please have a look at the portforwarding settings available on this forum for your router. Once ur port is successfully forwarded in ur router, follow the next step. Disable Windows Firewall & connect to BitComet again. U will definitely see a change in Windows XP UPnP status. Now, disconnect BitComet (At this point, I assume that Windows Firewall is Turned OFF). Now, visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/886257 and follow Method 2. Its more easy. Once you see the Default Gateway, close that window. Turn On Windows Firewall. Connect to BitComet and try downloading any torrent. Is your problem solved? Has your download speed increased? It solved my problem. Wait for at least half hour to see a massive difference in downloading speed. After starting Bit Comet again, you will see the following changes in the Log file of the torrent: Windows XP WF Status: TCP Port is opened in Windows Firewall. Windows XP WF Status: UDP Port is opened in Windows Firewall. Update Local IP: *********** Windows XP ICS Status: TCP PortMapping Failed. Windows XP ICS Status: UDP PortMapping Failed. Windows XP UPnP Status: Found WAN Connection Device [*******, Inc.] [] Windows XP UPnP Status: Found Service: WANIPConnection Windows XP UPnP Status: WAN IP: *********** Windows XP UPnP Status: TCP Port Mapping Existed! Windows XP UPnP Status: UDP Port Mapping Existed! DO NOT BOTHER about ICS status. Please read this article before you really start thinking about it. http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/e...2b14771033.mspx Now, ask yourself, do you really want ICS?? If no, then ur done. If yes, then search for ICS configuration (for Windows XP) on www.microsoft.com Gud Luck!!

But I have the latest version of DivX Player (Version 6.4) & the file i'm trying to open is AVI file. The player MUST open this file, right?? I have other video files too in this single torrent which has AVI, SRT, RAR, IDX files. I can play those AVI files using this player. This torrent is a collection of 16 movies in AVI and DAT format. Yes, I have seen that "AVI to DVD format using Nero" settings. Thanks!!

I downloaded a torrent which has video.avi file (713MB), video.idx file (74KB), video.srt file (102KB) and video.rar file. I tried to open the video.avi file through DivX Player. DivX Player recognizes the file and shows the length of the video (1 hr 38mins) but doesn't play the video. How do i play this video? What are these .idx, .srt files? What does .rar file has? Once the video starts playing, how can I burn the video file onto a DVD using Nero 7 Premium? Normally or I need to do anything with the additional files (.idx, .srt, .rar)????? I know how to burn a normal .avi file onto a DVD using Nero Vision 4. Please answer this part only if something should be done prior to burning.

I hope this can help. But u must connect ur pc directly to ur modem first (bypassing ur router). Now, go into the settings of ur modem by opening Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. A window will popup and u need to insert ur username and password in it. Generally, the username is "admin" and password is "admin". If ur password is not accepted, try inserting "password" as ur password. Else u can call technical support line of ur ISP or Modem supplier (from whoever u got ur modem). Once u get into the settings page of the Modem, see what kind of connection you have between ur modem and pc. Is it Static (IP) or PPPoE?? If it is Static (IP) then call technical support and ask them to bridge connections to PPPoE. DO NOT use ur own mind to change anything. Once the connection is changed to PPPoE, connect the router back in and establish a connection using ur router (modem+router=>pc). Now, go to www.canyouseeme.org and check the listening port of ur BitComet client. If the result is positive then all ur problems are solved. If the result is negative then u need to change the listening port. (Note: I assume here that u have disabled all the firewalls on ur computer) Call the technical support of ur router manufacturer and ask them to find and open a port for ur BitComet client. Once the port is forwarded, visit www.canyouseeme.org and check the new port. If the result is still negative then ask assistance before you hangup the phone. They can surely find a way out. It is not necessary to have a port between 49000-60000. U can insert any port no. Remember, rules for Bitcomet will be automatically created in firewalls (in Exceptions tab) after u start downloading any torrent. In other words, UDP/TCP exceptions for ur port no. will be automatically created in Firewalls once you start downloading. At this point, only changing and checking the port on www.canyouseeme.org can help. Do post a response here after getting technical assistance from your router. Believe me, they can help you to assign a port which is open.

I have Windows XP SP2 Home Edition. AVG Free Edition antivirus software, Windows Defender (antispyware), Lavasoft Adaware SE (adware) installed. I use Windows Firewall. I'm on 512kbps package. Netgear wireless router WGR 614 (version 6) is connected to ADSL modem. The result of www.canyouseeme.org is positive. Port is open. UPnP is enabled in router. I usually download at a speed b/w 30-50kbps. Health of torrent is vital though. I have followed and verified all the basic settings mentioned. Yesterday, I was downloading this torrent at a speed b/w 40-60kbps. Now, from almost 22hrs, I'm downloading at a much lower speed (b/w 10-30kbps). It doesn't increase above 30kbps. There were hardly any seeders yesterday (maximum 3) and its the same case today. But why the download speed has gone down? Is there any way I can increase the speed due to the fact that the file is too big? Even a little variation will increase the time duration by days. Following is the result of the log file of this torrent: Windows XP ICF Status: Firewall TCP port is opened.[Local Area Connection] Windows XP ICF Status: Firewall UDP port is opened.[Local Area Connection] Windows XP WF Status: TCP Port is opened in Windows Firewall. Windows XP WF Status: UDP Port is opened in Windows Firewall. Update Local IP: ***.***.*.* Windows XP ICS Status: TCP PortMapping Failed. Windows XP ICS Status: UDP PortMapping Failed.

Windows XP UPnP Status: UDP Port Mapping Existed! I have attached 2 screenshots taken within 40mins. Does PC configuration affects the download speed?? I have Intel Celeron 1.44Ghz M Processor (222MB RAM size). I have provided you with every information I can. Please help me to increase the downloading speed!! I will be grateful to you. Thanks!!

I dont experience any such problems. I normally download between 50-60kbps speed. Downloading speed depends on the torrents too. Although, i downloaded 38GB (yes GB) torrent file at an average speed of 40kbps within few days. Guess what, there were hardly any seeders for that torrent due to the fact that the torrent takes long time to download (who cares to seed afterwards). Sometimes i saw 0 seeders, sometimes 1, 2 or even 3 (maximum). Believe me or not, i'm on a 512kbps package. Looks like a miracle, isn't? lol Yes, i'm aware that they have restricted the downloading speed. I should be downloading at 80-85kbps instead of 50-55kbps. Just keep ur pc virus, trojan, spyware, adware etc. clean. Make sure the port is open and u can see it on www.canyouseeme.org U must see Remote peers in the peers tab of any torrent u r downloading. Don't download multiple torrents simultaneously. That's it!! U r done. I dont think TM provides special services to foreigners like me...lol Ya, they do have special prices....bingo GUD LUCK!!

I have a bridged connection using an ADSL modem and Netgear WGRv6 router. The test on www.canyouseeme.org is "Successful". It says my ISP is not blocking the port (24607). The download speed goes down from 25kbps to 3-4kbps. I'm on a 512MB package. Here are some of the details from the LOG file of a torrent i'm presently downloading. Windows XP ICF Status: Firewall TCP port is opened.[Local Area Connection] Windows XP ICF Status: Firewall UDP port is opened.[Local Area Connection] Windows XP WF Status: TCP Port is opened in Windows Firewall. Windows XP WF Status: UDP Port is opened in Windows Firewall. Windows XP ICS Status: TCP PortMapping Failed. Windows XP ICS Status: UDP PortMapping Failed. How can I increase the downloading speed? Please help!! Request: Pls do not ask me to change the port no. I had a big problem enabling BC to get even 5kbps speed last time when I did so.

Something is blocking the port (49160, i selected). BitComet, BitComet 49160 UDP, BitComet 49160 TCP options in Exceptions tab in Windows Firewall are checked. Exceptions are allowed. How do i find out wat's blocking the port? My download speed stays between 0-1kbps. I'm on a 512kbps package. I'm only using Windows Firewall. No third-party firewall software. I opened the port in the router (Netgear WGR 614 version 6) through their technical support. Please help!!! I posted few days ago for the same problem. Still can't solve it. Here it is: I changed the listening port to 49160 and now i can't download any torrent. I opened the port in my router (Netgear), now the speed is very very low (between 1kbps to 3kbps). It takes a long time to get tracker response for any torrent. I changed the port coz i was getting low download speed (around 7-8kbps) but it has become more worse. I uninstalled and installed BitComet 0.70 many times but still doesn't work. The test on www.canyouseeme.org reveals the following result: Error: I could not see your service on port (49160) Reason: Connection refused I emailed to BitComet staff few days back but still no response. The download speed is the same for a 4MB download and for a 600MB download. I'm on a 512mbps package. Please help!!! REPLY: (kluelos) Changing to a different port will not affect your speed. BC doesn't care what port it uses, as long as there is one and it's open. Your test indicates that there is a firewall blocking your chosen listen port. It may be the firewall built in to your router, so see the directions at portforward.com to handle that. It may be a software firewall running on your system, which you must configure to allow external traffic in on BitComet's listen port. Firewalls are like gates, and only one has to be closed to block the traffic completely. Do NOT solve this by disabling your firewall, it's there to protect you. Size of the downloaded content has no bearing whatever on download speed.
