    OK, i dont wanna sound like a n00b but this dam azureus keeps on sayin DHT firewalled.

    Now i set up the whole portforwarding thing for my Zyxel Prestige router (BT) and my NAT error yoke went away and it says NAT ok now.

    But it still shows DHT Firewalled.

    I have Zone Alarm installed and it is Azureus is unblocked, is there somethin im not doin right? I've looked over the internet and found sweet f**k all, except geeks goin into too much detail.

    I know this problem can probably be solved with just a few clicks!

    Can someone PLEASE just explain in simple english how this is done without explaining what DHT is, etc.



    Also, finally i read bout people sayin Azureus isnt great, what is best out now??

    uTorrent is better.

    DHT is like a tracker which is run on every PC running Azureus. It means that if you get a torrent off a website and start downloading it, then that website goes offline/gets shutdown / whatever, your torrent will keep going and be able to find more peers.

    If you're not getting NAT error it's weird that youre still getting a DHT firewalled error.

    I have observed a similar thing, it's probably the combination of Zonealarm and the more recent versions of Azureurs that causes it (older version didn't have this). If you leave it alone it should correct itself after a while and its not a major thing it just times out now and then the DHT isn't something you need to be overly concerned about.
