Torrents Still At 0kb/s

[LoveToStack]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to claim that slowest prize.



My average BitTorrent download speeds are about 30kb/s but I've had up to about 90kb/s before..

Fear not, my internet is also crap;

Double click it, see what port it says e.g 12345

then go to www.portforward.com for instructions for portforwarding on your router

When I was on Windows my uTorrent used to have the ! yellow triangle and it worked perfectly. It always confused me. BTW what make of router are you using Wayne?

I'm using Netgear router DG834G. I tried setting up a static IP but my internet then screwed up by not displaying websites. I portforwarded BitTornado in my router setup, should I change the port to 38536 like UTorrent is using on my BitTornado setup in the router section? Would that help?

Whatever port you have forwarded, change uTorrents port to that

[Wayne]

It still says my port isn't forwarded correctly. :S Man, I think I'm doing something wrong.

what does that say (replace PORTHERE with forwarded port)

Welcome to the µTorrent Port Checker.
A test will be performed on your computer to check if the specified port is opened.

Checking port 38536 on 92.12.23.160...

Error! Port 38536 does not appear to be open.

Please see www.portforward.com for more information about how to map a port.

Please make absolutely sure that PeerGuardian2 or Protowall is allowing utorrent.com (72.20.34.145) in either of those programs. Those of you using ipfilter.dat should make sure the list does not include the website's IP. After making sure of this, re-run this test by refreshing the page (F5).

Enable DMZ on your local IP

Would that be in my router set up or network connections in control panel?
