Torrent tracker says "connection error (Socketexception: Connection reset)" any ideas?

Question

Im trying to download a torrent file using Azureus and it keeps saying connection error (Socketexception: Connection reset). It's not only with that torrent but with all of them. I forwarded my ports and my NAT/FIREWALL is okay but I cannot connect to a tracker and I get really slow downloads because of it any help would be really appreciated! Thank you =P

Answer 1

Did you forward your ports correctly? If you make changes and forget to switch them on it will not work. Check your modem settings in 192.168.1.1 where you settings page usually resides. Good luck!

PS. mentioning what kind of modem would help greatly!

Also make sure your software firewall is not blocking application.

You could also try a different torrent client that may not clash with the socket program (Usually winsock32.dll) Try Utorrent, I get good speed with it.

Answer 2

Socket Exception Connection Reset

Answer 3

dude throw away that Azureus and use limewire which is more user friendly
