cjtskater1 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Earlier today I was using utorrent and noticed that the download speed was at "0.0 Kb/s" so i figured that nothing was getting downloaded ...dah dah dah, looked stuff up and decided to try port forwarding on my router (Netgear WNR834B v2)found a video on youtube to speed things up as well, but one specific port the video suggested was using port 80. WOW, I think the average download speed was around 300Kb/s But since I own a Playstation 3, port 80 messed w/ my connection. I knew that one of the ports to open for Playstation Network was 80, so one had to win.So I switched 80 to a random 5 digit port. and forwarded it as well...but here's my question and possible solution...Are there a few specific, favored ports to choose that won't interfere with PSN (such as 80 or 443 etc) that will work exceptionally well?Or was I just too impatient to wait for the speed to catch up? Because currently Im using a random 5 digit port, and forwarded, but its only an average of 89-90 Kb/s. (Tops 100 sometimes...)Any suggestions?

Switeck Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 It could be the other uTorrent settings you've changed that's messing things up.Almost all of the YouTube "uTorrent speedup" videos are *VERY BAD*! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
