Well, actually.
It's spiked into the hundreds a couple of times, but when i was doing the speed test... not sure how that effects anything. Also, could someone reccomend a good site. When I download from vuze it's still in the 40's but i've seen it hit 80 from vuze. I would just like a good site. I've used piratebay and torrentspy and torrentz, but i've heard that the signup stuff is the best. If you can help me out, please do.

Sorry about the double post, but based on what i've read apparently i have a NAT problem. Which i'm having trouble fixing, do I want static Nat. I'm not sure about any of this, but i have a westell 327w versalink that has some "STatic NAt" stuff, but i don't know what it is. I also am going thru a wireless connection and I have Norton protection center on my computer running azureus. But, i believe I've configured norton correctly.

The nice thing about Google is that often if you just query "what is" followed by what you want to know, you get a definintion link. I didn't know what it is either, but here's an explanation from a link:
A type of NAT in which a private IP address is mapped to a public IP address, where the public address is always the same IP address (i.e., it has a static address). This allows an internal host, such as a Web server, to have an unregistered (private) IP address and still be reachable over the Internet.
Compare with dynamic NAT.
With websites I already know a static website is one where what you click always gets the same response - easy to make a website like this. However a dynamic website click something and there might be one of several responses, depending on other things the website might know about you.
As far as Norton - I've had Norton in a few forms, not just plain anti-virus, but other additional addons as well. These do have a firewall built into them. It maybe not call it a firewall, but it is. So look carefully, see if there is a place to tell Norton/Symantec what programs of yours to ignore (or similar word like "exempt"). - I'm not saying this is your problem but it's one possibility - especially if the default Windows Firewall is shut off, I'm pretty sure another program has done that because it has it's own firewall program built in.

Really its never to late to learn to read , and the search box and guide tab are your friends.
With that said location , connection ,port settings , bit client settings all have to do with max download speed , your going to have to go through these one by one to gain maximum download speed out of your connection

Well, you want to set up port forwarding and you also want to let your firewall let it thru. You also want to configure your client to the ports you opened on your router.

Write a post with the following info.
What client are you using? (Azureus, utorrent etc.)
Are you behind a router, if so what kind?
Are you going through a wireless connection?
What kind of internet do you have, what is your top speed, and who is your ISP. (internet service provider)
Without torrents, using a standard p2p or from any old website do you download files quickly?
and, what color is the sun.

I am using Bittorrent. No router and not wireless. I have at&t dsl, top speed is no more than 100 MBps. Yeah, say im downloading from download.com, it would usually download pretty fast. Hm I would say the color of the sun is close to white.

DSL and 100 MBps? that's 800,000 kbps. 100 Mbps (small letter "b" is still 100,000 kbps. Wow I want that DSL connect you have. 1 Mbps = 1000 kbps, or in torrents using Bytes not bits, 1000 kbps is same as 125 kB/s. ....big or small "k" is ok here, but "B" and "b" are different, as in 8 (b)its = 1 (B)yte.
More important is what is your upload capability? You must upload well in most cases to download well, and you must get the setting correct, as in about set it to use about 80% of your max upload speed capability.
You should be getting a green status light after about a minute into the download, and not staying yellow (usually means a firewall problem).
Torrents start out slow and build up over time. Speeds on all are different. If it's really well participated in, 2 Mbps would be a good clip, but 1 Mbps is acceptable as a good speed (repeating, 1000 kbps or 125 kB/s is 1 Mbps).

Okay, don't know how much help this is but you have to port forward/trigger that router and perhaps set a static ip address as well: http://portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm if you do need to, just pay attention to what it says about the DNS server and Default Gateway showing the same. I may have missed it but I don't see your router listed at Port Forward.com but typing in 192.168.1.1 in IE should take you to the login page where the username and password should be admin and password and once in your router, follow the wizard for port forwarding/triggering. Or find a router similar to yours at port forward and follow its guide, I had to originally.

Ok, so set up a port in your client and then sset up the same port on your router, then the same port on your firewall. And voila your done.

You'll need to tell me what client you are using, if your behind a firewall or router and some of your settings friend before we can get into the business of giving your download speeds a nudge in the right direction.

Open up a port in your router and then enter that port in your client. If you need to make a static ip so the port settings dont change. And btw you dont have a 100mbps connection....your lan speed you see in your desktop toolbar is not your internet connection. Wired lan is usually 100mbps while wireless is usually 54mbps, this is simply the transfer rate of data. DSL connections are typically rather slow, go to speedtest.net and post your real results so we have some type of baseline!
If you dont know how to set a static ip, go to start-run type "cmd" no quotes, then type "ipconfig /all" no quotes and post the info. At minimum you need to know your local ip, gateway and dns information to do this...all found using the ipconfig /all command. There is only so much people can do to help without out adequate information.

Finally, someone willing to help. I am using Bittorrent and I am on a Netgear router. I've tried going to portforward.com and did everything they told me but it wont work.
