i am connectable again. same CGNAT internet (can't open ports on the modem) from TMobile, only now i do my torrents stuff via VPN, which allows for open ports... if anyone is interested, this is actually quite easy to set up alongside the normal internet connection, cause who needs everything to be via VPN, right? it can't be faster than no VPN, lets start with that..
anyways, currently i got NJALLA VPN access with WireSocksClient+WireSocksUI. settings for the latter allow one to write names of software that is to be using VPN, while all others will continue normal direct internet access. it creates a tunnel between your PC and VPN, which allows VPN to act as your frontend, thus making you connectable (if VPN does port forwarding, not all of them do so research before buy). for example, my tunnel config has this line at the bottom:
AllowedApps = utorrent,opera
i also added opera there to route thru VPN, i will only use it to visit Tribalmixes.com before starting up utorrent, to save my VPN IP in my account. remember, if your IP saved on TM Account is different from your torrent client IP (like using VPN or a seedbox), you can either visit TM from that IP and then start client, or you can enable PASSKEY in your Tribalmixes.com settings.
But, slash, you say, what if I have like 200 TM torrents, or even 2000 torrents seeding? Well, there's a simple enough solution.. Download and install BENCODE EDITOR, i think 0.7.1 is latest. or they say there's something called torrenthelper, which i never used. And so shut down utorrent, then in bencode editor you'd select FILE->OPEN then navigate to c:/users/YOUR_MAIN_WINDOWS_ACCOUNT/AppData/Roaming/uTorrent/ (might need to show hidden items via right-click inside ACCOUNT folder, as AppData is hidden by default), and open file RESUME.DAT (you can also smartly make a copy of it in case something goes wrong). Depending on your machine and number of torrents, this can take minutes.. When you are able to browse the tree of torrents, - is the time to act. press CTRL+H and then find "announce.php" and replace it with "announce.php?passkey=AjkdajkdhklsjflSSWksdfaaSDFdgjhgjk (substitute your passkey here).
Then of course if you are into releases and seeding them, also do same with "announce-rls.php", don't forget the little "-rls" in replacement string.. Select "partial match" as for some reason "exact match" didn't work for me, so took me a few minutes to do the partial match. Such extremely broad condition as "partial match" may catch wrong candidates. for example, if you already have some torrents in utorrent with passkey and some without, the first find/replace will create announce URLs like this: /announce.php?passkey=DGDG?passkey=DGDG .. then you'd just need to replace the double passkey parameter with singular... or figure out how to use exact match condition..
