| 476207 | 2006-08-05 06:37:00 | Hello, I have spent the last two hours trying use the port forwarding on my modem to get better download speed on the torrents I am downloading. I am on Xtra broadband and have a D-Link G604T wireless modem/router. I have tried following ohter instructions on the net regarding entering the port numbers into the "virtual server" area of the modem setup. I am then checking the ports at this website here. (www.grc.com) Anyone who could kindly help would be appreciated. I am almost pulling my hair out Best regards, Ryan |

Take a look at this thread: pressf1.co.nz as we have been talking about bittorrent over the last few days. I Hope this has been of some sort of help & Good luck! |
