512156 2007-01-02 19:05:00 Hi frnds

:help:

i use utorrents for dowloading my torrents.

i think all of u aware in utorrent there is an indicator at the bottom of the software. it indicates Yellow, Red, Green

Red indicates adverse problems in Network while Yellow indicates minimal problems while GREEN indicates the connection is great.

It never indicates green for me so when i checked the options it requested me to give appropriate PORT and my speed .... i changed the port to 80 which my router it is open and my appropriate speed in the speed rating.

Eventhough i did so i havent got the GREEN indicator.

so i want a great suggestion for setting appropriate settings:cool:

512157 2007-01-03 02:18:00 I have found it is best to use a port above 10000 and make sure that all modems/routers etc have been forwarded for what ever post you use, then it will change to green here are a couple of sites to give you an idea...

512158 2007-01-03 05:39:00 Turn on UPNP for your router and PC. You can set the port to anything you like or automatic. I use the 800 range which gives speeds of >300KB/s when there are enough seeds. That way you dont have to use port forwarding. Big John (551)

512160 2007-01-08 04:01:00 If you go to tools or options and then to preference and click connections. The mapping UPNP should be ticked by default.

Then go to around there and choose your port number.
Go to your router web interface and go to port forwarding .. choose a name for it like BT, then pop the port number in, and then tick UPNP and TCP, sometimes this is a drop down box which you can choose either or both.

See here for a article, browse for your router and then choose the software "utorrent".

I am not too sure if one should use UPNP as I have not checked with utorrent but sometimes they ask you to not use UPNP.

It is not that simple. If your source is good enough and your port forward is correct, depending on the time of the day, and what exchange you are connected to, and the internet gods.

Many people can't kit 100K with a great internet connection (say 10MB cable) and a good port forward because of a crap tracker (crap torrents).

Source meaning the tracker/web site you downloaded the torrent from.

Of course many on Golarge are getting utter crap speeds (hard to say with 100% certainly why) while others seem to do OK.

512163 2007-01-08 05:54:00 also as isp are blocking the bandwidth of certin progams i read in u torrent that got something that helps that - go to options preferance then bittorrent and enable protocal encryption i heard enable is enough for most people but if not put it forced hope that helps as well rawkus1020 (9720)
