Azureus Port-problems

I have paused my modem-slaying downloading for a week now, and now I wanted to download some things again. But because of problems with attack-attemps I had uninstalld Azureus. Today I installed the latest version and encountered some problems. I can't connect and download files from torrent-trackers to my computer. It just says "Waiting for handshake", "Connecting" and "Pending" about the IP:s i try to connect (in details) and then it disconnects from that user.

Then if I try to do a NAT/Firewall-test, I can't make a connection with any port!
Observe that I can download without problems with other P2P programs, chat, surf and play games - Although BitTorrent doesn't work! I have tried a lot of different ports in the radie of 45000 - 65000, tried different Torrent-Clients and such.

Earlier today, I also got an attack attempt from my own computer's IP in Norton which said "Invalid UDP Destination Port", if that's any help. It feels like I've tried everything with my software. Something I missed?

Please help me get my filesharing working again!
 
Do you have the latest Java JRE? If you need it, you can get the link from the Azureus site.
 
Now that I've downloaded the latest version of Java - the downloads starts most of the time. But the speed is incredible slow for a long time, but then after some 10 minutes, it reaches maybe 30% of my top speed.

This isnt true in a sense. The 6881-6999 (which is more like 6881 - 6890) are the recieving ports, which you can specify to whatever you want. Using 6881 - 6890 is actually a bad idea because some ISPs block it.

That said, using 50 - 60k ports is just excessive. Try using something aroung 15 to 20 thousand. Get windows to foward/let the ports in and specify the lowest of the forwarded ports (i.e 20,001 if your using that plus the next 10 or so higher) as the port to use in Azureus.

The reason why it isnt working is cause your modem/firewall is just blocking all recieving packets. So yer, use lower ports :)
