433867 2006-02-26 01:33:00 ok portforwarding isnt working for me on my dse router so whats a torrent client i can use that does not need ports to get maximum speed? Codex (3761)
433868 2006-02-26 01:38:00 Technically all internet applications use a port in some way or another. E.g for http it uses port 80 and ftp uses 21.

See if your ISP is blocking the standard ports for your Bittorrent client.

433872 2006-02-26 02:23:00 Easy fix put the 10.123.123.123 address in the DMZ setting on the Misc Config tab.
This is not very safe...

Also check you have mapped the correct range of ports!! check your client settings.

433873 2006-02-26 19:32:00 Did you put in all those mapped ports or are they there by default?
Look a bit wierd to me :waughh:

On My DSE router they were all set to 123.123.123.123 by befault except for port 80.

Ok, here is ACTUALLY what you need to do. Pick a Torrent client, I would recommend "Utorrent" as it is small fast and contains no spyware etc, many users switching to it.
http://www.utorrent.com/

Most clients now randomly generate a port setting (for security reasons) when you install it so find out what it is.

In Utorrent its under options/preferences/network options. Its probably like port ie 32454 or something. Open that port in you router.

Also remember piracy is illegal and most mainstream torrent sites suck for torrent speed so don't blame your ISP, find a good private torrent site or you will be sucking 8-30KBPS through a straw.
