Two things, first I what to enable portforwarding. But get realy confused. They have a program they sell that does it automaticly, is it worth it for a one time use??
Second i have used frostwire in the past as a torrent downloader but after it was done the download it no longer seeded, and i want to do my part and seed. I have some downloaded torrents i got with frostwire, can i put them in utorrent for others to download.? If so how?
P>S> they are not altered from when i got them. only copied to a different fold to use. Thanks

It can be confusing but well worth it. Whether or not a pay peogram is worth it, I don't know, never knew anyone that had one. Do you even use a router? If not, port forwarding isn't necessary. Port forward has step by step guides for routers. A static ip address may be needed too if your router sets a new one on a restart and makes port forwarding useless. Frostwire is good for smaller files but pretty slow for torrents. I don't know of a way to seed a torrent from there unless, maybe, you find the site it originally came from and start a new download directing it to the completed folder you have. I think the torrents from Frostwire have been seeded and now are being shared, could be wrong.

Frostwire was slow but worked. I leave it on for days but nothing gets uploaded after the file is complete. I read about some fairly good times for utorrent , thats why i want to try it.
All the torrents i have from frostwire came from axxo accounts, at mininova. and superfundo, and Deminoid as a guest.
I will try the site they send you to in the afterdawn guide on utorrent,and see if i can follow it. That is where,when you get there it says click here to automaticly port forward,and wants money. If i find it to hard i will just unplug router when downloading. i'm just using UpnP for now.
THanks for the come back.!!!

it just uses a different user interface then your routers config page, a waste of money!

setup a static ip

go to your routers config page
192.168.1.1 or .0

go to port forwarding /port triggering or however its labeled, and then enter the port into both the start and end port values, name it however you see wise:)


best of luck!
