Help with azureus?

[drama_queen24]

Hey.

I'm a first time azureus user and am getting really annoyed with it. My health is a yellow smiley, when i mouse over it, it says something about NAT settings or something. Anyway, all the router and whatever settings should be correctly set because my boyfriend uses azureus on his pc (we each have our own). I am running windows vista and although azureus was not blocked by the windows firewall I thought i should disable the firewall, so i did.

My problem is the download speed. The max download speed I'm getting is 1.5k/bs. This is really annoying me since I know it should be more as I have 512 adsl. I've read up on information and stuff but I'm a real noob at this and I really have no idea what it all means.

If its any help, I'm connected to 22 seeds and 17 peers.

Please, if anyone can help, that'd be great.

try limiting your upload speed to 70-85% max

I'm still using XP, but a lot of people seems to have same problem as you. They tried turning off Phishing Filter, IPV6 & applied the patch for IE7 phishing filter, etc., some seems to improved their speed but some don't! They've not find a single solution to this problem yet, but you may wish to go to forum to get updated sometimes.

Thanks for your replies.

Now I'm getting an error message saying: Too many successive failures occurred on the port (myport), UDP - processing abandoned. Please check firewall settings for this port to ensure that it is enabled for receiving connections.

My firewall is turned off at the moment but it wasn't when I first started downloading the file and I had told it to stop blocking Azureus.

Now my file is not downloading at all.

Are you sure your computer's network card driver, router & ISP's software are Vista compatible?

Some seeds just stay yellow and will never change, sometimes a torrent really sucks.
Shit happens, I guess...

try another client. I like uTorrent

I think that it might be a problem with the port forwarding on your router. Have you tried plugging your computer directly to your modem? If you do that, does it work? If it does, then it should be a problem with the port forwarding, which you can fix easily with the help of portforward.com (http://portforward.com/routers.htm).
