Can't forward ports with UPNP on 2.16 - timeout too fast ?

by Guest on 2015/08/15 01:48:12 AM    
I've been using Tixati for a while and I never had any problems forwarding ports through UPNP on previous Tixati versions. Just upgraded from Tixati 2.12 to 2.16, and now all I get is "no routers responded, will retry every 5 minutes" both for TCP and UDP.

Already tried different ports and rebooted my router just in case, but no luck. Tracker communication and transfers are okay, just can't get port-forwarded (Status on main window remains "Unconfirmed" indefinitely). It was working fine on Tixati 2.12 just minutes before and always did, same machine and same everything else.

The feeling I get is that the port forward attempt now times out too fast, not allowing the router the chance to get it through. Of course, it could be something else entirely, I have no idea if you made other changes to the port forwarding code of Tixati since 2.12. Whatever it is, something seems to have changed for the worse, guys - code regression in order ?

Version tested: Tixati 2.16 Windows 32-bit

Just to add some data to the above, I have since rolled back to 2.12 and it's confirmed that port forwarding immediately started working normally again, so for the time being I have no choice but to keep using 2.12. Definitely something wrong with this on the latest versions.

Any further ideas ? Thank you.

I have the same problem on a 10 year old TrendNet. Disabled uPnP and enabled the port on router.

Same exact problem here with a Thomson TG784n. Was working okay up to and including Tixati 2.12.

It's not very practical for me to manually forward ports since I change them often, hence the advantage of UPNP. I hope this gets reverse-fixed soon. Thank you.

I can confirm also on WNDR3700 V1. UPNP not working efter version 2.12. have revertet back to that version now.

I'm the OP of this thread.

I'm glad to report that, as of the newly released Tixati 2.18 , UPNP now seems to be working normally again. Great job, guys!
