same problem here, eversince I applied my windows update ; my firefox will freeze when I have my BC running...

Have to kill BC to allow surfing ; anyone found a solution yet?

Mine too.

I decrease the max simultaneous half open TCP connections and disable DHT network and I'm able to surf and download again.

But somehow my upload seems to sucks badly, haven't figured out that yet.

the recent windows update is revising the tcpip.sys and restricting the half-open tcp again. i increased the limit to 50 and so far it's working fine.

I don't know about you guys but I get the same speed whether its yellow or green light ...

An advise to pspknightx, reloaded sux ... Try skullptura ..

Hello torrent freaks.

I got a problem. Yeah, as usual. Most new post or replies are problems, problems and loads of problems. LOL

Aight, the problem is goes like this; I used to have 0.92 BitComet previously. All of a sudden, someone un-installed BitComet off this PC. So, the solution is to get it installed back again. Downloaded the latest BitComet 1.02 and got it up and running. So far, I've only managed to download 3 tasks ever since using this new 1.02 version.

Now, the problem shows up like few posts above, in a pop-up ballon saying 'Yellow Light'. Well, I took the initiative to Google it up for a solution. Then after reading the so called solution (from BitComet blog) I simply right click the 'Yellow Light' and chose 'Check Again'. After few tries, still, the Yellow Light still there.

I have no idea on how to get it solved.


I might try PortForward it. I think I haven't done it yet since 0.92.

well, lets see if it goes any better.



oh btw, I simply install it. Didn't do any setup of download setting at all. Should I do?



pspknightx, your IP dude! Get the sccrenshot removed!

tan_pang... time to update the first post... new version 1.03 released

I have upgraded to it just now.... the power of getting connections is still strong as previous version... got added something like rules customisation... still studying it

in the release notes saying that the new version got fix the tcp/ip patch for xp sp3 and vista... may be those having such problem can try install the new version??

for those having problem with surfing the net after installing the latest windows update, do you have ZoneAlarm firewall installed?

I read somewhere that you need to update your ZoneAlarm to latest version, then it should be solved.

btw, still using Bitcomet 1.02 here and happy with the speed. But I notice if my IP starts with 218.xxx.xxx.xxx the d/l speed and number of seeds will be different than with 60.xxx.xxx.xxx

set the port forwarding and u will get green XD[attachmentid=533471]

it work on everyday 90% ...just sometime will happen block...restart router then no problem already

ah.. nvm. Just figured it out how to solve my own problem. Port Forwarding!

Oh ya, I wanted to know like my case, I do not let my router switched 'on' 24-7 and so that'll make my case falls under 'dynamic IPs'. Now, what bothers me is, do I need to do port forwarding each time the router is restarted because the IP will be differnt from previously?

I thought the first thing to do in port forwarding is to make sure your PC has a static IP address?
Manually assign your PC with a static IP address (e.g. if your router IP is 192.168.0.1, then assign your PC 192.168.0.2, with port forward to your IP). If you have other PCs in the network, just change the DHCP IP to start from other range to avoid conflict.

LOL... you're understanding it wrongly. The 'dynamic IP' you're referring to is the WAN (Wide area network) IP - otherwise known as IP given by our internet provider, Streamyx. It usually starts with 60.xxx.xxx.xxx or 218.xxx.xxx.xxx (maybe there are other ranges, but I never get them)

The IP you're using to port forward is your LAN (local area network) IP. Otherwise known as the address given by your local router or your PC's individual address. You can set this IP to be static.

Don't confuse ya?

holy crap. You know what, I used the WAN IP during port forwarding.

now my BitComet is blocked again. What should I do? I'm not really good with networking setup.

Am using Aztech DSL600EW wireless router. This PC is connected to the router via the Ethernet cable. I have a laptop as well and I do connected to the internet via wireless connection from this router. How do I setup the 'static IP' ?

thanks guys.

Added on July 20, 2008, 2:16 pmgah! this is weird. I did obtained a static IP address and redo port forwarding but it still blocked.

should I restart the router after port-forwarding?

how to set firefox 3 download flv videos (ex. youtube) via bitcomet? using the right click button..

you can test the port forward at this url: http://www.whatsmyip.org/ports/ (under custom port)

if the test result is positive, then what you can try is restart your bitcomet or restart the modem to refresh the connection, or just try a few rounds of checking the IP

btw, how's the speed of download? some people can still get good speed although it's showing yellow

if I'm not mistaken DSL600EW is 3-in-1 device with modem/wired router/wireless router built in right? if so, it is easier to configure and port forward than a separate modem and router set up

perhaps you can let us know what is your current LAN IP and Gateway IP. You can get this by Start > Run > type in "cmd" without the quotes > type in "ipconfig/all" without the quotes

by default, the Gateway IP should be "192.168.1.1" and your LAN IP should be Automatic if you haven't set it manually

Port forwarding is not easy as it sounds; you need to know/set your Gateway IP, LAN IP and allow the ports in your router, Firewall and application (ie Bitcomet). Only then you can get full speed/green light in Bitcomet

Tested the port at the website given and the result was 'Port 17320 Timed-Out'.

Checked the IP via 'ipconfig /all' and the IP address is just the same as what I have done yesterday for the static IP address. No changes. I used 192.168.1.10 and both the one in Network Connections and Command window shows the same IP address.


Btw, I think I have another problem. I was trying to see if I did the port forward correctly (if the port number I entered in Port Forward is the same as what BitComet is using). So, opened up new window and keyed 192.168.1.1 to load the modem page. Nothing fancy here, the page loads as usual. Then, I clicked on 'Advance' to access the advance settings. No drama as well, the 'Advance' page loads perfectly. But, the drama starts when I clicked on Port Forwarding. It says that I need to insert LAN IP address in order to do that.

Something like this:

[attachmentid=534890]



What should I do? Is this normal after you setup static IP address?

The modem/router model is Aztech DSL600EW.

yes, you are correct! Its a 3-in-1 modem/router.

LAN IP address : 192.168.1.10
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1

I have already set the IP address manually yesterday.

The port Bitcomet listen to [17320 TDP, 17320 UCP] are already exempted by Windows Firewall. And already did the port forwarding via the router yesterday.

Currently doing 2 tasks simultaneously but only 1 task that is downloading because the other task has only 800 seeds while 8000 leechers so it's physically not moving. The max download speed I can get just now is 32kB/s for 512kbps line I'm using and with yellow light.

I haven't port forward on 600EW before, but here's the full instruction to do it : http://www.portforward.com/english/routers...EW/BitComet.htm

Hope it helps!

I followed everything shown previously.

And now, I cant do port forwarding anymore because whenever I tried to click on Port Forwarding in the modem setup page, it'll ask me to enter LAN IP address (refer my previous post). What the hell is that?

now.. what should I do? It's still blocked.



The thing is, last nite I port forward using my WAN IP address as my Static IP address during the Port Forward. After port forwarding, no more blocked and its green light. Any reason why?

maybe u missed out a step. trace back the steps

YES! finally! after I chose to use another listen port and re-port forwarding, the green light shows!

its complicated.

but its worth it.


thanks for those who have helped, though not that much. Hahha..

Im afraid that after restarting this PC tomorrow, the problem arises.

about the LAN IP address, you just key in any IP within the range, for your case, it's from 192.168.1.2 until 192.168.1.254 (or you can even enter your static IP), after that it wont bothers you again.

you can manually assign it under LAN section as well.

forward to your WAN IP will only works when you are still using that IP. Unlike LAN IP which always works no matter what WAN IP you get.

sorry for asking noob question,
where is da port-fowarding setting located??
been searching around bit comet setting couldn't find it.....

btw,i experienced only 50kb max speed in downloading..
average 30-50kb.....
how to increased da speed??

Try look at the 2nd post of this thread, thanks...

If still got any question, then only ask...

yea....actually tried referred that b4.....
still da same speed i get....
anyway, now i'm trying port forward application....
thanks for da info

Last time I applied IP Patch for XP from Bit Comet help forum my system hung I needed to Reinstall

The port forward is to be done at your modem/router. What is your modem/router's brand or model?
Or may be you can try find it here http://www.portforward.com/english/routers...routerindex.htm yourself?




for the TCP/IP patch, can try out this one (for XP SP2, not yet tested on SP3)
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=Atta...=post&id=193961

btw.. wanna ask.. what are you guys btcomet lvl? score n title

Hi guys, just want to ask - Bitcomet's Scheduler doesn't work at all, right? I know that Utorrent's Scheduler works but BitComet's doesn't.

Perhaps there is a way to 'make' it work?

What version you using??
I have tried the Scheduler and it work on my machine.

hi guys..
im facing problem with bitcomet...
when i start my bitcomet..
it pop out and say cant listen to port eg.12345
wat shud i do to fix it???

Try change the listen port...

By the way, 12345 is not safe to use because some malware is using it to transferring data...

i jz make it for an example...
i tried portforward.com but...
i cant really understand the static ip address..

anyone know what is the best setting for latest bitcomet 1.03?

Question:
Is it possible to use BitComet to download file in "Thunder-specific link" (such as thunder://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)?

For unknown reason, i cant online after running bitcomet
Any1 noe why?

using Riger DB102

Wut does Global Address From mean..in NAT setting.

I try to port forward but fail..thanks

when bitcomet is running. it will slow down my firefox/ie . i used bitcomet 1.0 and window xp. been thru this for couple months. how to fix it?

The "Global Address From" in the NAT setting mean from what IP start to apply this rules...
The IP here is LAN IP, and you have to make 1 first...

You can try to limit your upload and download...

ive set the limit but it remain the same. ive use bitcomet for years but getting this problem after installing this new version.

Hi guys, please help me with this

I started downloading a 20gb anime torrent on BitCom... but I got not enough hdd space, so i started only 5gb. After the 5gb completed, I forgot to do a manual hash check to confirm complete.

I backup the 5gb and then deleted the original files from the C:\Download.... and set the completed files as "banned" under the priorities. However, when i play the anime, i found that the files not complete and cannot play properly. But when i put back the files into C:\dowloads, and reset the priority to "normal", and do a manual hash check, BitCom still can't recognize it and start the download from 0% again. Is there a way I can continue my download? I even tried renaming the file with a .bc! extension behind but still cannot...

Thanks first

u mean u having slow connection after running bitcomet? try patch ur tcp/ip to 500.

errr.. was new in this thread, and i was using bitcomet since i download torrents.
updated my bitcomet client to 20080813 (beta version)
and below is the speed i get today.
and i getting average speed in between 150kb/s n 210kb/s



edited: typo error

omg..what's ur streamyx package? 2M?..u got 210+ download spd?- -omg..can u teach me how to get speed like urs?
Mine only like pic below..sad..

from ur screenshot, i bet u nvr port forward your bitcomet client on your router/modem right? try port forward to get more fast speed lo. fyi, i am using 4mb/s package... the average speed of mine is between 150kb/s to 210kb/s.. the speed gains and drop, gains and drop wan.. but the speed wont go lower than 100kb/s

i dont know what is port forward and i dont know how to port forward..btw port forward really helps?..mine is only 1mb/s package..it is impossible that my spd will same as yours right?

depends on your area. i am not really sure either u can get same speed with me with 1mb/s package. i just upgrade my streamyx package, and get approved in yesterday. port forward do really helps.
Last time i was using 512kb/s package, it serves me with fast speed too, i can get something about 100kb/s+-
Here's a screenshot of downloading speed of 512kb/s package


Here's a screenshot for today 4mb/s package,


I am happy with my new 4mb/s streamyx package, worth every cent. ! even http's download are more faster than the speed i posted above.

Don't you mind to post your router's model, so i help u on port forwarding?

well i did a port forwarding yesterday my own but the spd i get is even worst than my normal spd..and even make me cant browse internet normally..my router model is Aztech DSL600EW..i dont know what mistake i had done..so i hope u can help me..do i have to make some configuration on firewall setting?..btw..what's ur upload limit?..i saw all is 0kb/s

how to download youtube with bitcomet?

dear kaizsheng, can u provide us your modem/router model?
Listening Port 23440, set in virtual server with tcp/udp listening mode.
Tick the Enable UPnP port mapping.
Beside that, u had told me that u cant browse internet after u port forward your bitcomet. Can u please post a screenshot of TCP/IP in your bitcomet setting? It should be at least 500 above (i set it as 10000)
Below are some screenshot of my bitcomet setting.



Don't forget to post ur modem or router model here too !

And i am using 4mb/s RM160/mth Package, i don't think a normal 1mb/s package can reach that speed as well. And u have a good 218 ip over there. Forget to mention, i only full speed seeding when after i finish my downloads. so i capped my upload speed per task at 3kb/s.

*edited*

erm i somehow try to learn how to port forwarding. but i don't understand from this step..



some pls tell me how to "log into your router's web interface, and look at your router's status page" to find the Name Server ip. i realy dun understnd this step.

It is simple. Just type the default gateway in your internet browser (IE, firefox)

example: http://192.168.0.1

mine's default gateway might different with you.
