I'd like to see you guys make an episode either about publishing to Vuze or getting around ISP blacklisting. I've personally run into this problem, even though the Azureus wiki doesn't list my ISP as being bad for BT (beyond capping accounts with high bandwidth usage). I can seed just fine for pre-existing torrents with no unusual pref changes, but uploading to the Vuze servers when publishing just doesn't work unless I have encryption turned on (and even then, the upload will occasionally stop running for five minutes and then start again). Strange stuff, but I wasted a lot of time and energy trying to figure it out when I was first starting. Info on this might help Vuze newbies.
Some tips for Mac users: If you're behind a router, NAT should protect you from any hackers, so totally shut off the OS X firewall. UDP blocking and stealth mode (Sys Prefs -> Sharing -> Firewall -> Advanced) can ***still be active*** even if the firewall is off, so be sure those are off as well. UDP is used by the distributed tracker, so you don't want this to be blocked.
And for anyone having trouble with Azureus transfers: Turn logging on (Options -> Logging), double-click on a problem torrent in the Advanced tab, and click on the Console pane to show the real-time activity of your connections for that torrent. This can indicate if connections to other clients are failing or your data packets are getting lost during transmission, etc.

You need to use alot more Upload
its people like you that make BT slower for other
