Question:

Alternative Bittorrent port/ Electric Sheep issue?

0 LIKES UnLike

Hello. So i'm trying to use the Electric Sheep screensaver application because it seems really sweet. However, it seems to only be downloading the sheep from the Coral, local host downloads, and not through bit torrent. My ISP blocks ports 6881-6889 which would normally be bit torrent ports. Does anyone know either how I can remedy the situation with electric sheep or of any alternative open ports for bit torrent?

I'm running vista 32bit on a sony vaio btw.

  1. 6881-6999 used to be the ports used by bittorrent, but now are not suggested as they are often blocked by ISPs.  A port in the 49152-65534 range is suggested to avoid blocks and conflicts:
