alexchittenden Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 This is probably a noob question, but here goes. I have been using bitcomet for many months now, its worked great. I usually get like 100+kbs. I love the program. But as of a few days ago, whenever I open my program, The error message "XXXXX is a bad listening port" or, a port it cant connect or whatever. I have tried randomizing, I get the same error. With this error, i get less than 30kbps on my fast download, slower ones like 1-3 kb. Thats ridiculous on dsl. Can someone help please? Oh, I made the exception for bitcomet in my windows fire wall, and my mcafee suite. I turned both off, but I still get the error. Thanks.

The UnUsual Suspect Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 DO NOT run windows firewall if you have mcafee installed. I also recommend using one of the higher port numbers 50,000 to 60.000 range will do fine. If you are using a router, you will need to forward that port and setup a static ip address in windows. portforward.com has step by step guides with screenshots.

Dark_Shroud Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 When using McAfee: The only thing you need to do is set the firewall to give BitComet Full/Sever Access. :) Also, set McAfee's security level to "tight" to stealth your ports. This is the best setting for your privacy. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
