For anyone still not able to get that light from YELLOW to GREEN. It was rather annoying having people mislead me on setting up my port forwarding / triggering. I know there are a lot of differant routers out there but hey, here goes for "easy mode".
Step1. Pick a port for your listening port.
Step2. Copy / Write it down ... whatever works
Step3. Open your router config
Step4. Setup PORT FORWARDING and put in that listening port.
Step5. Forward that port to a specific computer (by name or WAN IP)
Step6. <if needed> Setup computer2 in saem way, differant port tho.
Easy mode complete and green light activated. TY for your time and effert in this matter
Anyone getting YELLOW or GREEN LIGHT with slow downloads:
check your settings. BitComet sucks at anything set to "auto". It was connecting to like 1,000 differant people for no reason. Lots of trackers and seeds and peers is all great, but, remember no matter what connection speed you have, it will slow you down to be looking for as many people as you can. In other words: connecting to 10 people is better then connecting to 500 people when 90% of those 500 arnt helping you out. Too many connections is BAD! Lower your nuber of connections and make sure your connection settings are good. Again, BitComet sucks horrably at anything set to "automatic".
