BitTorrent/BitTornado

[rjbinney]

Hey -anyone use these?

I used BitTornado a few times when I didn't get home in time to tape "Lost" or "24"... Had it set with port forwarding on my router so I got the fast "green" light.

Installed Norton Firewall, and now can only get the yellow - even if I disable Firewall.

It may be  a coincidence, but I doubt that.

Anybody else out there use these programs? And get around a firewall?

My inet connection is verizon DSL.

Thanks!

I use the Azeurus(sp?) client and have never had a problem.  I'd say that if you couldn't get past your firewall then you'll get nothing at all.  The fact that you're getting some data says you just need more/better peers.  What site are you getting your trackers from?

What site are you getting your trackers from?

Same one now that I used before - freewareweb.com

I use the Azeurus(sp?) client and have never had a problem.

Have you a link?

Turns out I did have the spelling wrong.  When I said I've never had a problem that may have been misleading.  Like any .torrent client, it relies on seeders.  There are times when a file will not come down or will come slowly and this is due to a lack of peers.
