Bittorent Routing Issues

[Delita]

For some reason I get really bad speeds when bittorrenting. Tried forwarding the ports but it still seems to not work. Wondering if im doing something wrong. Windows firewall and router firewall are both disabled. Heres a pic of the ports forwarded in my router. Any suggestions?

Oh also I do have Norton Antivirus Autoprotect enabled. Is that a problem?

reboot router. by unplugging both the modem and router for one minute. plug in modem, wait 10 secs plug in router. make u sure know teh login name and pw.. cause im not sure if it will require a relog. so once u done that does bt go faster?.. if it does.. maybe its the router lagging?.. try to limit the peers and seeds connected to u.. preferably 25-40 peers and 25-40 seeds.

set it to BOTH under the protocoll type

you also dont have to use the default posts


use azureus if you are not

Your ISP may be throttling the default BT ports - change them and see if that improves things.

If there isn't a "both" setting, just repeat the port forwarding with all the same information, but use "UDP" as the protocol type.

For some reason when I select the UDP protocol it will save it to TCP. Any particular reason why?

So my <1kpbs d/l speeds even though I'm connected to around 50 seeds on multiple ones is due to the swarm quality....

No, it's definitely a port forwarding problem. Have you tried disabling Norton? Have you tried connecting your computer directly to the modem just to see if that will work?
