Since I do get the GREEN status, and correspondingly, my torrent details page do show remotely initiated active connections, I would assume my configurations are correct.
However, for certain torrents, I always get a YELLOW. I checked the detail page and all I see are a locally initiated connections(the swarm is large, so it cant be nobody is trying to connecting to me). Most of the people in the swarm are getting good speeds too. Why is it for certain torrents, I cannot receive remote connections and thus get lousy speeds?
I am running Outpost with Blockpost, with just antip2p and gov, mil on. I tried turning it off, but still no go.
Does anyone what may be causing this? I don't necessary need solutions, explanations would be helpful too.
Acording to the ABC FAQ:
# Yellow : You have not received any incoming connections from others. It may only be because no one has tried.it may indicate your system is behind a firewall or proxy server. Please look into routing BitTorrent through your firewall in order to receive the best possible download rate.
This probably applies somewhat
"There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice… The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd."
Make sure xp's built in firewall is not on.
Update.
I have solved my problem.
The inconsistant performance of certain torrents was caused by the inability of some trackers to detect my true external ip. As a result, I didnt receive any remote connections for those few torrents.
Most trackers could detect my external ip and thats why I ended up with some green and some yellow.
Hope that helps.
