Port Fowarding Cat Cdma

[Scully]

I recently joined thebox.bz and I need to open ports, however after an evening of trawling the internet I have come to the conclusion that it can't be done.

I am by no means an expert and was wondering if there were any experts that knew otherwise.

If I bought a router could there be a way?

Is the NAT done on the CAT side so can't be done?

Again I won't be too suprised if the answer is no as this is my last attempt at trying because I have wasted enough time already.

Thanks in advance Scully.

In general, on most mobile internet systems (worldwide, GSM, CDMA,...) port forwarding is not possible.

Basically you are on a private IP address assigned to you by your provider, and as such port forwarding should be done at the providers side.

Can be pretty annoying for a multitude of reasons..

Thought as much, it took me three hours to find that out last night. I wish I had just asked on here first.

Oh well.

I have a forwarded port through my router on my adsl connection using utorrent and I can tell you it's really difficult to get a decent seeding upload to thebox.biz.

Unless you get in really early on a torrent where most leechers don't have 100% of the file, it doesn't really fly. So my point is forget about it. The best thing about thebox is that you can pay for the downloads. Just go to "Donate". It's scaled from 3Gb for 3 Euro up to 150Gb fro 100 Euro. That way you don't need to worry about maintaining an equal upload/download ratio. The paid for bandwidth just gets added as if you have already uploaded.

Hi

I have seen that the older versions of the cdma device allow the upnp port forwarding feature of most torrent clients, so now the new versions don't :/ classic story.

I agree with trd in that its too dam_n hard to keep the ratio ya need with thebox so if ya happy to pay (which grates me a bit) do that

Cheers

Don't be such a tease, did you pay or have you found a way?

Port forwarding is done at the same place where NAT occurs: between private and public IP addresses.

On CAT CDMA, setting up a session to a public CDMA client's IP address is prohibited.

If you have a CDMA connection straight on your computer, you probably have a public IP address. NAT nor Portforwarding is an issue here. If your torrent client shows no incoming connections, then it's because sessions from the internet to your computer are not allowed by the CAT firewall.

Another misconception:

properly forwarding the port(s) used by your bittorrent client will not speed up downloads.

It will just speed up session establishment.

I have opened up my old thread because recently I joined UK Nova and this site is the most helpful and user friendly site that is available for my type of connection.

The site takes into account port forwarding and connection speeds etc and as long as you are trying it will not ban you (like others) so if you want to torrent UK tv then this is the one.

If you are not a member then it is worth trying to join you may get lucky.

Did you try Vuze?

[Scully]

Did you try Vuze?

Yes I did try vuse with no success, I still have no idea how you do it as your posts where harder to crack than the cryptic cross word in the Times.

I spent hours trying to get an open port with no luck. I eventually removed vuse and now us utorrent which works fine.

Im sorry,there was nothing more I could add,I have CAT CDMA and I use vuze and It works, what kind of download speeds are you getting now?
