You definitely need port-forwarding if you use your modem as a router. No need if you use WinXP dialer.

Usually, the manual coming with your modem should has the instructions on how to do port-forwarding. As the instructions varies wildly between models and brands, you really have to as someone else who have the same modem as you or to download the manual from the manufacturer website.

hi, can someone help me. i m at college. how to map my computer. got this:
***
Checking port 23142 on 60.48.66.164...

Error! Port 23142 does not appear to be open.

Please see www.portforward.com for more information about how to map a port.

Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (207.142.136.45) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5

got this help from utorrent forum. how to do this?
is there anyway i can portforward without consulting my IT guy?

Yesterday i tweaked my settings and got an overrall 70-80kb/s download (after about an hour). Btw i still havn't port forward my router.
Will i get better speeds if i port forward? I'm on streamyx 1mb

Yes, you will be able to get better speed faster with port-forwarding.

Hi guys... after all the work my BC is still not picking up any connections... always stay at 5-10 kb/s =.=

Everything seems alright, you might want to consider changing to another port because the default 6881-6889 isn't recommended afterall.

Try some random port > 10000 one

No need to put limit at Global Max Download. Just set it unlimited. And try to download the torrent with lots of seed first, to test the speed and correct the preferences settings to get the highest speed possible. Oh one more thing set the Maximum connection per task to 100. Happy torrenting

can someone help me?

Im using Bit Spirit right now..What i wan to ask is, how will i config only can get a good speed? I mean im using the same torrent in BC, but i can get speed up to 20 over there, but when im using BS with the same torrent, it only could get until 10, & drop again..

If you want to use those ports, just change the port used for incoming connections to that in Preferences->Network. Protocol encryption can be enabled there as well.

Bitcomet is generally more aggresive than other clients so that may explain why you get faster speeds using it.

I heard from other expert that Bitspirit using the same logic core of Bitcomet old version. I used bitspirit before but for testing purpose only. And yes its almost as aggressive as Bitcomet but with more colorful GUI i guess .

I'm not sure about Bitspirit, but Bitlord is

To me bitspirit is too complicated to configure and bloated

anyone got BitSpirit setting to share in pic?

btw, does BS got any option like max half TCP connection?

May i know is this normal?

I think it is normal, my ADSL router has such "problem" too
But as long as the port is forwarded by either manually or uPNP, it will be alright

Got a problem again.
I oredi had made a port forwarding last time, but why after i running bitspirit, it will automatically delete my port forwarding?
I didnt check the randomize port number option too

bitspirit cant delete the port forward setting that u save into your router.
