Switeck Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Any chance you're confusing ISP line speeds which are in kilobits/sec with download+upload speeds which are in KiloBytes/sec? (It takes about 9-10 kilobits/sec of bandwidth to download or upload at 1 KiloBytes/sec)If µTorrent shows you a red circle at the bottom, your port triggering alone isn't enough to unfirewall it. There is probably another firewall blocking incoming connections. (Win XP's firewall? some antivirus programs have firewalls now too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Use the Speed Guide, run the speed test. Report back exactly what the site says. About the red light... check http://www.portforward.com for instructions on how to forward ports on your router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
