Downloading is slow - portforwarding?

[chrisdaemz]

This is the yellow torrent problem right? Does this mean I have to forward 6881-6889?

http://www.portforward.com/ Best place to learn how to do that kind of stuff.

I thought you could post pictures on the forum apperently not...

But back on topic. Is this the error?

Hmm. I use Azereus personally, and the popups explained exactly what to do in case of slow downloading. I basically had to open up a range of ports through my firewall interface, which was simple.

anyone who uses ABC?

yeah i have had problems like this at school, but i just got the guy in the house to forward the necessary ports to me. but now that i am at home, similar problems happen. i just had to forward the ports again. so are the ports blocked by the router by default then?

I use ABC.

I didnt have problems with my WRT54G router, but I forwarded the ports anyhow...
works fine.

first thing i would do is change the default ports. those ports are used way too much.
then forward the new ports over.

First thing you need to do is download something that doesn't suck. Downloading crappy music automatically causes NAT problems.

I'm just testing it and 50 cent was the first thing that came to my mind

But what I still don't know whether this really is the yellow error. If I don't have any problems in what colour should my download be (the text)? Because I don't think this is green on the screenshot...

 

[chrisdaemz]

never mind... fixed
