Re: not connectable

Are you running a router?

Whether you are or you aren't, are you still getting good speeds?

Sometimes the indicator doesn't always tell the truth. I'm not using a router and occasionally it will tell me that i'm not connectable despite being connected to hundreds of seeds and downloading fine at full bandwidth.

Re: not connectable

Even with my router connected and ports properly forwarded, it sometimes says it's not connectable, yet it obviously is because i still connect to all the peers and download no problem I think it's just a software issue.
