Closed Port BUT ONLY when Torrents are active?

[reilc]

Please can anyone help me? I've had a look at the other closed port posts but I can't seem to find anyone with this issue.

I went through the troubleshooting thing, cleared the log, paused the downloads and toggled the 'Automatically Map Port' button which gave me this report:

And the light came up green and said it was open, but then once i resumed the torrents it turned red and I still only got dismal speeds.

I've made sure my router (O2 Wireless II) is set up to allow UPnP.

Any ideas anyone?

Much appreciated!

Hi thanks for the suggestions.

I've tried manually port forwarding, and I always get an open port report right up until i let the torrents resume.

I've currently set my O2 router to turn the firewall completely off, as well as my OSX firewall.

It's very strange, it seems to have only affected me since about a week ago. Is there a chance a version upgrade upset things somehow?

Yeah I tried that last night, seemed to work, but then it closed again after a while.

The weird thing is it changes over time, sometimes it will open for an hour, then just close.

It's really annoying.

Thanks for your advice though
