Forwarding ports

[Adamm]

I've tried forwarding my ports, I've done the tutorial on portforward.com (including the static IP one) and it hasn't work thus far. Nothing downloads (torrents) faster than 0.2kb/s and it's an ugly ugly mess.

Anyone got any tips/help/advice?

Thanks.

What router do you have?

[Adamm]

Huawei EchoLife-HG520b

Everything else (outside of uTorrent) downloads at 500/600 kb/s.

Try DMZ. If you can see a DMZ option on your router config page then use that. You just need the local IP of the computer you need to port forward for.

This is the only thing I could find:



I'm not an advanced technical person by any means.

Disable SPI and restart your router then see if your port forwarding works.

Thanks, apparently my ports are now forwarded and whatnot but my download speed is still slow like 50 kb/s max.

How many seeders/leechers does your torrent have?

[Adamm]

14/25

25 kb/s atm.

That pretty low, your bound to get that speed...

The seeders are more likey giving higher speed to the 25 leechers.
