Hello...

When i search plenty of results show up but when i click a file it goes from "Connecting..." to "Need more sources". Sometimes my internet even disconnects by itself *AFTER* this happens. Can someone help me? Does it have to do with a port?

Also the firewall icon is always there and I tried to put an exception and I even turned off the firewall and it didnt work.

HELP!!

What do I do after this:



The instructions are not clear after that. I set my Listen on Port and Manual Port Forward to 33453 (I think the guide said to put them as the same port). What do I do here thn? By the way thanks for you help.

Try putting 33453 in the base host port.

I did, and I put the same number for the range. I did it for upd and tcp. I enabled both of them. The files still stay on "connecting" and then it tries all the sources and doesnt connect.

Is the brickwall still infront of the globe?

Fake Files In The Search Results

Try that. The files you might be downloading could be fake.

Also, Verizon is known to block port 6346, change the port. Or change the port and port forward.

Thank you so much Remoc! It *seems* to be working now! And thanks garbagefan because I was chosing files with almost 100 sources instead of those with around 10.

THANK YOU!
