You have to let the port to bypass the built-in firewall in Mac as well.it's just that transmission is super slow......really dunno y..... that's y now i am using my wiindows to bt instead of my mac.....

If you dosen't enable the firewall, all ports will be allowed.
makesure you forward the port properly. Let's say u have: Modem -----> Wifi Router ---> Mac (192.168.1.1) (192.168.1.2) (10.0.0.1) you should forward your port: Modem ----> 192.168.1.2 then: Wifi Router ----> 10.0.0.1 |

i also use transmission.. it quite fast.. you need to wait for it to find more seeders.. and one more thing about transmission is that transmission is just a little program

eh? u launch from Apps folder or the disk on deaktop?
its normal that the Azureus did that, it's running some setup at the background when u first launch or just updated. wait a while then the app will run. This post has been edited by wei: Jul 10 2006, 11:48 AM |
