Help opening ports on Speedtouch585

[alejandroAT]

hi all,,

just recently updated my connection from a poor 64Kb/s to a nice broadband 1000Mb/s.

Then i happily selected a list of torrents i could finally get down to downloading and got on with it....guess what? instaed of downloading at 7k/s i got speeds of 14-20K/s......isnt that a ah heck? with this rate things will take months to download....

direct downloading works sweet...its super fast....but torrents? just not happening.

I did my research and found that nearly all torrent clients require you to open specific ports in the router hardware in order to get descent speeds. But alas the instructions i can find through the manual and google are scarce if any. The router is configured by a webinterface and i managed to get as close as the "Assign a game or application to a local network device" step.

In this step i have to declare the following values for any new program entry...plz help me fill in the gaps

Protocol - TCP
Port Range - 6881-6999 ???
Translate to - ...????
Trigger Protocol - ....???
Trigger Prot - ...???

thnks

I dont know what program do you use for torrent, but for azureus, all you have to do is open one port and your golden.

You have 1Gbit internet service?

sorry my bad, thanks keeleysam...the connection is 1Mbps....i wanted to say 1000Kbps

sure,,,,,but thats what i asked....how do you open that port?

the speedtouch interface is just horrible.

I am not able to make the Azureus DHT work. It keeps saying DHT firewalled!!!

even after assigning a UDP (as well as a TCP) range on the webinterface of the router....

actually, assigning a UDP causes the NAT to display as FIREWALLED.

WHAT IS GOING OOOOON??????

the values i have used are as follows:

For the router:

Protocol : TCP
Port Range: 37939-37939
Translate to : 37939-37939
Trigger Protocol: -
Trigger Port: -
------------------------
Protocol: UDP
Port Range: 37939-37939
Translate to : 37939-37939
Trigger Protocol: -
Trigger Port: -

For Azureus Connection port: 37939
