Conflicting clients

[t0mmski]

I recently installed Sharezea. Directly after installing the client, I immediatly noticed a NAT problem being shown on Azureus. Seeing as I have had continued success with Azureus, I decided to just uninstall the Sharzea.
The NAT problem did not go away, and, when opting to "listen in" on port 80, it stated that it was in use, when, in fact, I had already stopped my transfers.
All of my router's settings are correct (ports forwarded, etc.) and my WinXP is configured w/ a static IP...

Any suggestions on as to what to look for, or a fix?

I have Shareaza and ABC installed and they work fine together. Try reconfiguring your NAT firewall and check the port settings on it. Shareaza and bittorrent use different ports, and neither normally use port 80. That is usually for e-mail, although Shareaza can use it if it needs to. I configured the firewall on my computer and my NAT firewall to use the range for bittorrent (I don't remember what they are right off hand) as well as configuring Shareaza to use the normal Shareaza port. Port 80 is used when you are downloading from someone else in a corporate/school setting where they have to use port 80. They can still share but your computer thinks it is e-mail. Port 80 was probably still listening for an e-mail even after the download had stopped.

When I configured ABC and Shareaza, I forced them to use the standard ports. Remember to check non-standard protocols at hight port numbers, and UDP protocol. I dond remember the exact numbers- no problems in 6 months, but check the stickies on prot forwarding, protocols, and firewall set ups for bittorrent and Shareaza.
