Torrents

[Adam]

My torrents are slow

someone told be because i have a router i have to do something called port forwarding?

can someone explain this to me

[smirnoff]

Simple enough.

Routers have built in firewalls to protect you and you need to open a hole (port) in it for your torrents to get through.

We need to know what router you have to tell you how.

Adam, do a search in this forum for port forward... you'll find the link posted... a few times already ;)

It'll take you to a list of all the different routers and how to port forward on them :)

After you did that you did tell your bittorrent client to use those ports you set right?

ABC (my torrent client) was on 10000 i think

and i forwarded the client to that port

right?
