Fizzed Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Hello,Ive downloaded utorrent and so far i know its the best torrentdownloader that you can get for free....But im having problems...i think...Sometimes i can download files around the 75 kb/s but there are moments that it wont download anything or download very slow (around the 3 kb/s)Does this has something to do with port forwarding???Im getting a yellow icon to (no incoming connections)Oh and sometimes a red one! (not connectable, a firewall or router is limiting you traffic)If it does got something to do with port forwarding i would like to get some assistance very badly...My problems are that my english isnt that good and i followed some guides on port forwarding but i get problems there to....i cant even find the IP adresses of my dns server (cmd->ipconfig/all wont work because it shows the same ips) And if i dont fill them in at my network connection my internet wont work anymore...I thought maybe upnp was the option but i heard that wasnt safe...(i have a zyxel modem btw)Another thing is that i dont know what the risks are of port forwarding and i dont know what port to choose for utorrent...For example....if i fill in ''use this ip'' instead of ''automatic ip'' at my network connection does it change alot of things?? And what port is safe to use for utorrent??I know im a noob at that sort of things but i just want a reasonable download speed....Thank you very much in advance! ;p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Another poster was saying the Zyxel router (and maybe modem?) has an internal firewall that has to be configured or disabled as well.Do a search for Zyxel in these forums.
