Hi, this is just a simple question. I was wondering if there is a difference between forwarding ports and enabling upnp. Liek with Azureus will my download go faster if I enable UPNP or would it go faster if I forward the port. Or will the speeds be the same. I was just wondering since Azureus is the only program that I have taht uses UPNP so I really don't need UPNP enabled and wanted to know if tehre is speed difference. Thanks.

Thanks creaky ;-D
I dont notice much of a difference between having upnp open and closed. The most important thing is having ur ports forwarded/opened correctly. But to honest I have opened ports and enabled upnp
Hope this helps ;-D
No sig for u!.

you're ok, i do Unix Admin for a living, and some of the networky stuff is dreary behind belief, i know my limits; ie knowledge needed to keep being paid versus being a bearded geek :O

Ok well id it really doesn't make a difference hen i guess I'll turn off UPNP and just forward the ports since UPNP isn't needed for any other programs other than Azureus. Thanks.
