Leithal Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I have not changed any settings on my pc (Utorrent,ZA firewall)apart form change ISP and setup port forwarding on the Orange router/firewall. I have now tried various different ports and speed settings on Utorrent but I am still not getting a green tick??? Very anoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanross Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Thanks for the info.I am certain now that it is not ZA, as I can see that it is listening to the correct port.I have no way of knowing if my livebox settings are correct. I have had the green tick once for only a short time. I don't know how - it just came on and then a while later (without me doing anything) it went off.What next?

Leithal Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I have cracked it!! When you configure the Livebox for port forwarding NAT - enter the port number (I use 27000), then for the Server IP address, you enter your IP address (not the livebox IP address as instructed by www.portforward.com) and hay presto, you have a green tick. My download speed is still not what it should be though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanross Posted March 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 LeithalWell done, I've got the green light at last.The clever boys at portforward should be told they got it wrong.My speeds still aren't good though.Thanks againJon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leithal Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Jon,try limiting the upload speed to 10Kb/s My download speed has jumped from 50Kb/s to 150 Kb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 If you're nowhere near your upload speed max, then you'll see even MORE download speed if you increase upload speed further. It's only when there's less than 10 KiloBYTES/sec of upload speed that's unused that you *MIGHT* be reducing your download speeds. However for downloading to need 10 KiloBYTES/sec of upload speed, it'd probably be going at least 200 KiloBYTES/sec...if not more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
