[lox760]

I created a static IP already i already forwarded port 10001 but i used the utorrent checker and it still says my port is closed .I am on a windows XP using a WRT54G router.Can someone help me?

What did you set the static IP to?

[lox760]

192.168.1.136

Try setting it (and forwarding the port) to 192.168.1.50.

[lox760]

I tried that and still nothing.

Do you have any antispyware or antivirus software installed?

(These can contain firewalls too that need to be configured OR disabled!)

[lox760]

Yea I do and it says personal firewall on.I can't seem to take it off because it is saying I do not have the neccesary rights to configure the item you double clicked.

Ok, now you know why µTorrent is firewalled.

To uninstall or change the settings of that 'offending' program, you probably need to run Windows in Administrator mode and/or SAFE mode.

OK i un-installed norton and now I am getting speeds of like 5 KBs. My bittorrent says online, maybe firewalled.I made sure my firewalla was off in the windows security alerts.Whats a normal speed for torrents??

EDIT:I can't save anything now.When i try to download a file it asks me where I want to save it and when I click save the screen just goes away and the file is not there. Did I do something wrong?

Lox, are you able to trade at all, at present? If so, are you already maxing out your upload speed setting and getting similar or better download speed? If not, do you have PeerGuardian or similar blocklist installed, and how does it behave when you're trading?

It turns out bittorrent is getting slow rates but not my utorrent.I'll just stick with utorrent.

Road Runner has throttled file-sharing in the past, I don't know if they still do...in areas.
