He means your upload capacity. There have been cases in the past where Bitcoin Core used all of the upload capacity of the users' Internet connection. To the point of making browsing etc. impossible.

Netlimiter is a software for Windows that allows you to limit programs to certain speeds.

Oh i didnt knew that , thanks mate
But no all good , i can play online games and browse just fine without issues

Wait til someone on a vps or dedicated server tries to grab the blockchain from you. =p

Well, you may be OK if you have 10Mbps + upstream. Not so with me at 768kbps. Netlimiter is cool to have, anyway. So much better than using QoS on router ..

What

they can do that ? I mean downloading the blockchain from me ? Shocked

So that's where the blockchain comes from ? I thought it's downloading it from a link or something on the first place Shocked

pretty interessting information to be honest

how much upstream do you have? might want to consider using netlimiter

I have no idea what you mean to be honest .
But the node seems to work fine with that node checker website .

What else I could do please ? Sad

~ Madness

Check your settings regarding the port in the router, firewall etc. again. I had a router before that would "forget" settings when there was a power cycle.

Another option could be your ISP started blocking it? You'd have to ask them.

My ISP don't care about anything and don't block anything to be honest . they simply don't give a single shit . (that's why I love my country)
I checked again and I'am getting it green again .. I guess it was unstable or something when my modem turned off for sometime and turned on once again .. so it took time
Thanks for all your help

works fine now .

I left the Bitcoin COre client running all the night , when I woke up and checked on that website again , it gives me in Red the following message : " xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8333 is unreachable." (xx represent my IP of course)

~ Madness

Does the network data window still show traffic to/from your bitcoin node? Did your ISP change your IP address overnight? (This can happen if you have small disconnects). Do you have any data transfer caps with your ISP?

Oh , then this might be the reason indeed . I always have small disconnects sometimes yes .
What I do now ? Close & re open the wallet and all should be fine and running again ?

~ Madness

Check what your IP address is http://www.whatismyip.com/ if it has changed then put that into the bitnode website and see if its up.

Well that won't work , it's the same IP . Since WhatisMyIP reads my IP adress , and the Bitnode website do the same thing (read my IP) and it's me who have to write it down . so both IP's match
What else I could do please ? Sad

@Redsn0w here is what I'am getting (that green thing) sorry because I'am hiding my IP but I like to remain annonymus .

Green = good. They offer more info about your node via (change IP accordingly):
https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/213.165.91.169-8333

Quote from: Madness on February 22, 2015, 03:04:31 PM

@shorena I'am getting 28 Peers on the peers tab , also there is 28 Connections to Bitcoin Network and sometimes 29 .

~ Madness

Well done. Node is reachable from the outside. If you have a static IP all you need to do now is keep the machine powered and online.

Awesome , I guess I'am doing it right then Grin

Thank you so much .
It's really nice to know that I'am the only one running a node on my country .

Last time I asked what I should do etc ... to make a node
well I opened ports as asked I guess and all should be fine now , some people told me to see to the Network Traffic but not sure how to know if I'am running a node as should be or not .
So here is a picture of my Network Traffic , let me know if all good please .

-picture-

~ Madness

Well its running. If you click on "peers" in the same window you can see to how many peers you are connected to and details about the connection. If you opened the ports properly there should be more than 8 connections. You can also check this under the "Information" tab.
