freezersarecool Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Hello! I am a new member and although I have been running Bittorrent for some time and am relatively familiar with it, I am not that knowledeable about the set up for vpns with Bittorrent, although I do properly understand how vpns work. My current set up is as Bittorrent recommends as given by the setup guide. I am running on fibre optic provided by Orange/EE. Without vpn on, I get download speeds of up to 5Mb/s and several hundred nodes connected. When I turn my vpn on, I get virtually no speed or connections through Bittorrent. On checking the settings by running the setup guide, it can't get a bandwidth reading - says "timed out.(10060)". Please could someone point out to me what I am doing wrong, or what I have missed doing to make this all work? I have made no changes to my Windows 7 OS at all or am running any software other than Bittorrent and the vpn provider's. Do I have to make changes to the OS or run other software? A nice simple web page explaining what you need to do would be great, but I couldn't find one! Perhaps I was searching incorrectly... Any help to get this sorted out will be gratefully received! TIA!

Harold Feit Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Check with your vpn provider to see what's going on, as bittorrent works fine without the vpn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freezersarecool Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Had a reply - basically, my vpn provider blocks all torrent traffic, legal or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
