Azureus Prob

[Final Maxim]

getting dcd from it a lot and getting this error

my router is taking a long time to release port mappings, consider disabling this via the UPnP configuration

how i do that?

uTorrent ftw..

Might have the same issue with that tbh.

What router is it?

UPnP = Universal Plug and Play. It's basically a way for applications to dynamically configure port forwarding on routers so that non-techy people don't have to fiddle with NAT rules etc...
Azureus is configured to use UPnP if you're getting that error.
If you've manually configured port forwarding on your router, having UPnP enabled could be what's causing you to get disconnected (it may be over-riding the static port mappings that the router is listening on or something). If this is the case, disable UPnP.
On the other hand, if you haven't configured static port mappings, consider doing it. That way UPnP won't be an issue, and you might learn something in the process

Bit tornado or shareaza,

how do i go about configuring port mappings?

i aint messed with anything manually

BitTorrent has its uses actually.
I pay for the Giganews platinum service, which is awesome. Anything relatively new I can max my 20 megabit internet connection out with, but sometimes if I want something old I simply can't find it on the usenet network. That's where BitTorrent comes in. I often find it better for "old" stuff, such as films released in the 1980's that haven't been re-released on Blu-Ray yet, etc... etc...

That should get you started. Your router might not be listed on there, in which case you might have to consult your handbook and try to work out what to do.
I'm sure someone will help if I've gone to bed by then

i haven't used them for nearly 2 years now, theres nothing i haven't been able to find between newgroups and rapidshare.

Also, torrents are the highest chance of being caught, thats the important thing!

 

[Final Maxim]

i thought p2p like limewire/bearshare etc had more chance of being prosecuted than torrents

 

[Final Maxim]

and modem is the netgear that you get with sky

the dark grey one not the white one

Torrents are still P2P...

 

[Final Maxim]

but limewire/bearshare/ares etc aint torrents

 

[Michael172]

Fook me people still use torrents?

I remember the days where P2P was the "in" thing.
