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!

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?

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.

should I restart the router after port-forwarding?

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.

Added on July 21, 2008, 6:46 amyes, 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 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?

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.

guys, I'm using 1.02. Just curious if this sounds right.

Seed/Peer[All] = 3/10[16/1921] = 7kBps
Seed/Peer[All] = 3/9[7/193] = 0 kBps
Seed/Peer[All] = 1/7[9/820] = 0 kBps

downloading 3 files simultaneously with Global dl rate set to 50kBps and Global ul rate set to 10 kBps.

so.. what the speed suppose to be with that kind of seed/peers?
