Old bittorrent speed: 4 to 10 kb/sec, rarely 15 kb/sec
New bittorrent speed: 40 to 75 kb/sec
What is the lesson present here?
KNOW YOUR ROUTER. It will make an immeasurable difference.
(such a shame I only truly figured out how NOW, not before )
Only now have I truly learned port-forwarding

The method differs from router to router. The one here at the moment is a D-Link, and if you type in "http://192.168.0.1/" in the address bar or any internet browser, you'll access the router itself and go into its web-based config utility.
You'll probably be prompted with a user/password dialog. For D-Link's, default username is "admin" with no password, I believe. From there you can mess around with the settings.

You're talking about routing bitorrent through the firewall in an internet router, right?
Sigh. I'm using an cable modem, not a router, there shouldn't be an external firewall, and I configured my XP firewall to allow Bittorent ports to use it. Unfortunately, most of the times I can't even access to my peers via Bit torrent, much less download files still.........
