Why am I unable to connect to Steam or download torrents? It appears you are not currently connected to the internet, or the at your internet connection is not configured correctly for Steam. It just sounds like the necessary ports that Steam and torrent clients need to have open and available to them are currently closed.
I have tried to use two different torrent downloaders and in both I can view the number of seeds but I cannot connect to any of them. In steam I get a message that says “Connection Error Could not connect to the Steam network. It appears you are not currently connected to the internet, or the at your internet connection is not configured correctly for Steam. Eirth check your connection and click ‘Retry’, or start Steam in ‘Offline Mode’.” I am connected to the internet and my browser has no problems. My brother cannot connect to Steam with his computer either. This problem has only been going on for a few days.
- Also in case you are at a college or if the internet you get goes through a main router first, the person in charge of that router might have blocked access.
Because I've heard this problem 99% from college students!- This was my first thought: is he on a college campus? But while blocking Bittorrent is somewhat common, I've never heard of a school blocking Steam outright. Weird if true, man.
- Yeah, it wasn't a usual at first, but lately, at least in India, colleges have started blocking Steam login as well.
Main reason why I dropped from DCUO even after reaching level 30! :'(
- have you tried with administrative rights?
- Check your firewall settings.
- Have you replaced or reconfigured your broadband modem and/or router? How about any software firewalls on the computers themselves? It just sounds like the necessary ports that Steam and torrent clients need to have open and available to them are currently closed. Check the settings for your client software for the ports they want to have open, then verify that your software firewall and any firewalls on your modem and/or router are also open. With the modem or router, enabling UPnP will allow the software to make sure the proper ports are open automatically.

I'm Unable To Download Torrent From My Internet Connection Download
- Xbox one elite controller driver windows 10. So I have a cheap belkin router (but I used a better one before and had the same problem). Whenever I open a torrent software, even if something is uploading with 1 kbs my speed is 0, I can't open any websites, can't do anything that requires bandwith except for the torrent software itself. I have many friends that have the same ISP so i know I know I should be able to download with 10 mbs and be able to stream 1080p video at the same time with no problems at all. What's wrong? I tried to portforward with the port in utorrent but it's still the same. And the thing with limiting the number of connection, done that too, still nothing.
@mircius: uTorrent doesn't need any ports forwarded, so that might be part of your problem. Disable all of the port forwarding that you had set up. It could be that your ISP is messing around with your traffic, so you might want to try enabling encryption in uTorrent, as that is sometimes able to bypass ISP traffic management. Finally, check the QoS settings on your router, and make sure that there isn't anything weird in there concerning torrents. - @CROM: the port forwarding i tried very recently and it had no effect on it, i removed it now..enabled encrption, still the same. my router doesn't have any qos settings.
@mircius: You should try connecting a PC directly to your modem, bypassing the router, and trying to run uTorrent. That could narrow down whether the problem is actually with your router. Just make sure that your firewall is turned on, as a matter of best practices (obviously without blocking uTorrent). - @CROM: I already have a pc connected, thats mostly the reason for the router, internet on the desktop in the living room (cable) and on my laptop (wireless). Does the same thing when utorrent runs on either of the computers. Firewall is on (not blocking of course)
You should still bypass the router to see if it still happens on that one PC. My guess though is that it is the router and it is getting overloaded with connections and/or is logging and cant handle all the traffic in RAM, and/or the processor is rather weak and trying to QoS torrent connections is killing performance. You can try turning off QoS in the router if it has it and is turned on now and also try limiting the number of connections utorrent makes. - @BaskervilleManor: er, I don't remember the exact setting in utorrent, and I'm out of town so I can't look but yeah basically, he should limit the number of connections to other people in a swarm and the number of files he's simultaneously d/ling and seeding to reduce strain on the router, if the router is indeed the issue.
- I have a cheap Edimax router, and have the same problem, but with BitComet. I've narrowed it down that it's a DNS issue, as anything that uses IP addresses directly works, and setting up the browser to use ISP's proxy service, enables me to also view websites by their domain names. When I reboot the router, it starts working again though, which is weird, but consistent. Haven't found a solution yet though, apart from buying a new, better router.
- @mircius: You need to test your connection without the router in between your PC and the internet (connect the PC directly to the modem). I'm not suggesting that you should permanently remove the router from your network, but you need to do this test in order to diagnose whether your router actually has a problem.
