Azureus port problem for Torrent with windows firewall V S Rawat 03-12-2006

I tried to download a torrent file from www.thepiratebay.org

The site suggested that I use Azureus and Java so I installed Azureus
2.4.0.0 free and Java 1.5.0_06.

I also have Proxyway 3.0 free. It is another issue that it is aborting
too often.

As soon as I start Azureus, I get an alert "Error: Too many successive
failures occurred on port 49152, UDP - Processing abandoned. Please
check firewall settings for this port to ensure that it is enabled for
receiving connections."

I use xpsp2 windows firewall and proxyway and Azureus have "any
computer" access in it.

following their help files, I created 49152 (port suggested by azureus,
thus customised by me for their software) port's TCP and UDP access to
"any computer". But to no avail.

I also added javaws.exe's access to "any computer" in firewall. but to
no avail.

File and printer sharing is off, so is remote assistance, remote
desktop.

PNRP and Windows Peer-to-Peer Grouping have full access, but UPnP
Framework has no subnet access to TCP 2869 and full subnet access to
UDP 1900.

I am writing all this, should not be taken to mean that I understand a
bit of it.

So, I am stuck. I am not able to make Azareus work, and not able to
download a file just because some setting of windows firewall.

Any help?

Thanks.

Just so you know, once you are part of a bittorrent network, you will
be flooded with all sorts of connection requests. Think long and hard
before you willingly open your system up to such random traffic. Also,
I feel obligated to tell you that if you DO download something that is
being tracked by the copyright holder, they can identify you and issue a
request to your ISP to terminate your account. Just ask the people who
have been downloading the latest Star Wars game!

All that being said...

Azureus should have an option in config that will limit the number of
connections allowed. You can look at their online help files to
determine the proper number of peers to allow to connect at any given time.
