"Updated" Azureus . . . now it doesn't work!

Z Draci · May 3rd, 2005, 09:13 AM

I'm connected via a router to a cable modem.

My Azureus was working perfectly fine until it prompted me to update to the latest version. I downloaded it and installed. Now, it won't connect! The program opens fine and starts up like before. However, all my downloading smileys are red and my seeding ones are blue. No yellow or green.

I attempted to force a port through both my firewall and router but it still won't work! I have no idea what's wrong since I know nothing about computers.

What happened? Does anybody know?

dont worry mate, it happened to me too, it updated and restarted itself, and now, no bt traffic, it can connect to the trackers, but not the peers/seeds. i havnt found anyone else that has the issue and a solution yet, but when i do, ill pass it on.

Connection problems? Update your java

Get Java here: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php

Thank you for the support.
I am currently using another bittorrent program to download and then seed the newest Fifth Gear episode. It's weird how another program works fine THROUGH THE SAME PORT AS ASSIGNED TO AZUREUS!
I am using the "generic" BitTorrent program.
BTW, my Gnucleus program is not working after I updated it too. Perhaps it was a scam to kick off users? images/smilies/lol.gif

I still miss the Azureus interface though. I had a few other files dl/seeding on there.

I'm searching through online archives to find a solution too.

dont try to get the new java via bittorrent, as it wont come down very fast at all.

grab it from here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

after installing that, it now works for me too.

cheers.

Wow, thanks for the quick replies! That seems to have solved the problem.

However, I now have to 100% CPU usage syndrome! Azureus now loads ridiculously slow and it seems to freeze everything else up!

This is like troubleshooting an EFI system!

Z Draci · May 3rd, 2005, 11:17 AM

The solution to my slow down problem was this.

Thanks again for the help! Couldn't have done it without you all.

Azureus is a great program, just a shame that java can cause so many probs.

Oh, ha, I wondered why Azureus was all of a sudden using 100% CPU. Didn't occur to me to blame my newly install NOD32. images/smilies/lol.gif

I'm getting a connection error [IO Exception: server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL]. is this the same problem that others have been having? This is after updating Java and a cleam install of azureus.

Z Draci · May 5th, 2005, 06:35 PM

No, your problem seems different from ours.
Have you tried forcing an IP port? This speeds up the connection ten fold!

I'm behind 3 firewalls so it was required to connect.
