395577	2005-10-12 16:58:00	Hiya! :D I got Bittornado and when I download stuff, It usually downloads very slowly. When Theres not much seeds I dont download very fast, 0-13kb/s BUT... when I download Episodes that hav a lot of seeds, it downloads very quickly, over 20 kb/s I was wondering, (coz I got a router) if I will need to forward my Ports on Portforwarding? And will this help me download faster and connect to more seeds? Most seeds I connect to are snubbed! Dont no why, but Im not sure if when I forward my ports on Portforward, if itll will download faster? Plz help. ^_^	Naruto28 (7236)

395581	2005-10-13 16:12:00	Does the Bit Client u use to download stuff affect the speed? I thought that it all depends on the seeds and Peers? So if i change to Bitcomet, it might download faster? ^_^ Thnx. PS.I dont think I should use Portforward on Bittornado then.	Naruto28 (7236)
395582	2005-10-13 20:15:00	Not AFAIK. Bittorrent is bittorrent. Some prefer the "lighter" torrent clients, like bittornado, bitcomet etc You should always setup port-forwarding for bittorrent, you'll never be happy if you dont!	Chilling_Silence (9)
