Only now have I truly learned port-forwarding

Post by Shinova »

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 :cry: )

Set a static IP adress on your computer

Enter this rule in the router:

Wan Any -> Lan Ip adress port TCP 6881-6999

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.........

So it's computer->Modem->Internet, right?


Maybe your ISP has a firewall. Who knows. :mrgreen:
