Been doing a lot of reading on setting up recently only thing I am not sure of is port to forward. Was wanting to know if these settings for what I have are good or what can be tweaked!

 

Thank you all for your help!

You're mostly okay. Your peak speed is pretty close to the line's rated speed with your downloading.

You MIGHT want to take your upload down to 50-55kbyte/sec to optimize upload.

Keeping your peer counts low is nice.

Port forwarding is about all you have left.

I changed upload to 50 kB/s

 

Another thing I have notice, like right now, download is low at like 90-100 kB/s and upload is at ~50kB/s

 

Port forwarding like I mentioned earlier is what I'm not clear on. I mean I know the knowledge and how to port forward but ever port I try running PortForward Network Utilities on says it is not open. 

 

Thank you for your quick reply DreadWingKnight

 

 

Edit: Did a little more reading and checking:

PF Network Utilities shows the port IS NOT open when I close uTorrent

Using http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ says the port IS OPEN

So which one is to trust?
