favaron Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 why in the FAQ does it say that you shouldn't use ports 6881-6999 ? my apartment firewall is not letting me use utorrent anymore, but im getting them to open those ports for World of Warcraft because it uses them. So, can i assign utorrent to use one of those ports and be able to download once they turn those on?please help! thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Because some ISPs still employ port-based throttling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Yes, but you shouldn't be using those ports because others will suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
