hi. iv'e read this thread and others that talk about forwarding & opening ports and i now this is getting frustrating for many, and also for the ones with answears.
this is my situation:
i have 750 up/500 down connection through a thomson TCM425 cable modem connected to my computer with usb cable. as much as i can understand this is not a router so no ports Can be opened or forwarded. if they can i havent understood how. my xp firewall is down. i am running sygate personal firewall and allowing bitComet, my bittorent client through. but still i get 1-10 Kbs downloads. i have noticed that i get an overall better download rate if i download many torrents simultaniosly. also i have noticed that my overall download rate will pick up about 10 Kbs's if i limit my upload rate to a bare minimum of 2 Kbps (!). when bit comet is running ftp downloads run at 30 Kbps when not they run at a full 100+. my maximum overall download rate with bittorent has never exceeded 20-28 Kbps.
can someone help me with step by step instructions?

hi i'm a newbie to Azureus but i've been reading all sorts of forums regarding portforwarding and stuff.
I've been trying all sorts of stuff out and i still get poor download performance (10kb/s dl normally 20kb/s on a blue moon) and only yellow smileys. I'm trying to download a very popular torrent that has a lot of seeders, so i don't think that's the problem.
I'm using a 256 kb/s motorolla wireless canopy connection that goes straight to my pc, so i don't think i have a router (not sure if that serves as a router itself). My OS is XP sp2 i've turned my windows firewall off and i'm not running any other firewalls.
Somebody please help

Can anyone tell me what the average download speed for a popular torrent with many seeders would be?
I know there are many variables but any help just as a guide would be good.
I have an ADSL Speedtouch 330 modem (not a router and not configurable as far as I can find out), 2 Meg broadband connection, Norton Firewall with ports 6880 to 6889 enabled/forwarded and I'm downloading from BitTorrent. The average speeds I get are 75k/bs with a peak of 120k/bs very occasionally.
Is this all I can expect?

Does anyone have problems where bittorrent disconnects your wireless internet? Most people say that it is because your ISP limits your upload speed (say 60 kilobytes/sec with shaw). Well, I did limit the speed and it still disconnects (limited to 30 kb/sec).
I have determined that the problem is that ther maximum number of users a router can allow at a time is 50 (through linksys).
Does anyone know where I can get firmware to increase that number?
Thanks

Hi, I got broadband 512/128k a few days ago and am experiencing very slow torrent downlaods...at around 18kb/s dl and 9kb/s upload. I've searched around these forums and have found all that port forward information and have done all that...I have also allowed my XP firewall to let various ports pass through. But i'm still experiencing slow d/l.
Ive seen some people talk about NAT but I dont know what that is...and I also have norton firewall but I don't know how to allow ports through. Can anyone help??
I use a Netcomm NB1300plus4 adsl modem and i use bitcommet to download.

try using babelfish for language convertion. on the subject of port forwarding: 1, each computer must have it's own ip address thru your router and all ports u select must be forwarded to each 1
2, your bt client must have the same ports forwarded on the gui menu.
it does not matter which ports u use so long as the router and client numbers are the same. use portforward.com and the bt clients help sites.
i have wildly different speeds depending on peers and sites i get the torrents from examples are from 50bps to 750kps so don't worry to much, and another thing is u have to set the upload speed to about 20% of your connection speed ie: 348k=about 40kps or 20kps with 2 computers, u have to upload to download.

hi i have a problem..my download speeds with Azureus dont get higher than 20 kb/s and most are around 5kb/s, though my internet connection is pretty fast. i'm on a LAN with a sitecom router, and i figured out here that i have to port forward Azureus ports. i followed all the instruction i read on portforward.com but the only problem is, when i type my standard gateway IP-adress in the adress bar i get this:
http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/3260/naamloos3af.jpg
everytime i type my standard gateway adress in the adress bar i get this screen, with only "busy" in the left corner, for a couple of days now already. does anyone have any idea what i can do? i hope somebody can help cause i dont have a clue what do..i'd be really thankful

I am starting to think that port forwarding is not the cause of most problems and it's something more sinister and unknown. For example, I was in the middle of a downloading a large torrent and went from V2.3 to 2.4 and my torrent speed dropped dramatically. I can't figure it out, I had spent a day researching settings on the old install, and now another day on the new, and I still can't get speeds over 2k down, althought the upload speed is no problem:). I am starting to think that on a slow WAN like ours in Nepal, Torrent downloading may be a non-starter.If I find a 400 meg movie file on the web, I can always download it using Massdownloader from Opera 20x faster than any torrent. The problem is, most of what I want is in a torrent.Ke garne.
jigs
update: for example, just a moment ago i got an azureus message saying the port was lost (or not found) and then I had a DHT firewall warning in the status line, then a few moments later, it went back to green. Speeds are still 2.0 kbs down, and most of that is protocol.

Hi, I had exactly the same problem. I opened my ports 6881-6889 through the route admin but still I wasnt able to get high download speeds. Installing TCPView enlightened the problem because I was able to see, on which ports actually the other users tried to access to my pc. For some strange reason it were the ports 2100-2500. So I opened those ports as well and since then I my download speed increased from 1 kb/s to 50 kb/s. Therefore, for all whose download is still slow I suggest the following:
1) Download TCPView
2) open TCPView and open your Torrent App., start downloading
3) check exactly on which ports the users try to connect (usually you see them popping up and if they are sucessfull the color changes to green from red, if not it remains red and then it disappears)
4) pay attention on which ports they try to connect, if it doesnt change to green
5) open those ports via typing in your browser 192.168.1.1
I don't know why they were all 'put' to the ports 2100+, I reckon some routers do this automatically instead of using the ports 6881-6889.
NB: It only worked for ABC for me, BitTornado still had problems to connect.

Hi, I use a adsl modem
Model no. DB180E
When I entered the IP address given in the Default Gateway it prompted for a username and password. When I entered admin as the username and password it didn't work. So can anybody help me with the passwords thing.... I connect the broadband from PCCW in HongKong... Help needed urgently
