tubbyman20 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Ok, here goes.I live in England, My ISP is BT total broadband (are they known for bottlenecking torrent speeds?)I have a netgear DG834GT.I'm pretty sure that i'm getting bad speeds in my utorrent, and i have a yellow status icon.I've configured my router to map the ports properly, but when i do the port test, i'm still getting a message that says i have a blocked port. I'm trying to use port 16788. I have 8meg broadband, and my speeds downloading from newzbin are what they should be, so why can't i get good speeds with my torrents?I'm also using norton internet security, but i have unticked 'Stealth' or whatever it is so that should be ok...here is a printscreen of my router settings:I've also set that for outbound services, but i get this error in utorrent:Any help would be greatly appreciated!

kurahashi Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I'm also using norton internet security, but i have unticked 'Stealth' or whatever it is so that should be ok...I don't know this software... just disable it, or even uninstall. In fact when you have internet connection through properly configured router (and only for yourself) you can stop using firewall at your PC at all.here is a printscreen of my router settingsAssuming your PC's IP is 192.168.0.1 - looks goodI've also set that for outbound services, but i get this error in utorrentHuh?? And what for? Sounds very fishy.And turn the UPnP port mapping in utorrent off, you don't need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L337Bunny Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Isn't DG834GT a ADSL modem/router/WAP 3 in 1?... I bet there might be some weird setup stuff due to the fact it s 3 box in 1, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
