slow download speeds on bit torrent

Expand Post »
Hi there,

I am desperately needing help with Bit Torrent. I am getting such slow download speeds about 2k/bps. I have a 1.5MB cable connection. There are 4 of us in the house with a wireless router.

I have read that i need to enable ports 6881 to 6889 - both in my firewall (windows XP) and on my router.

Firewall wise I have tried I have put port 6881 under exceptions in windows firewall section but there is no box to put a range in ie 6881-6889 and this has made no difference anyway.

Router wise - its just a standard wireless router and im not sure how it was setup as a professional did it for us.

i have tried putting cmd into run but nothing comes up in the dos box - just the prompt.

I would really appreciate some advice on this - bear in mind I am a novice tho :-|

Re: slow download speeds on bit torrent

Ok ive just found out that my router is: an origo IEEE 802.11g.

As far as I know.. we do not have an internal network setup as such, we each share the 1.5MB connection and can use the net independently ie. there is no server... but as I say I am a total novice.


Please help me.

Re: slow download speeds on bit torrent

I'm afraid that this little excerpt from the Forum rules has to come into play:

Quote ...

You'll need to obtain assistance from the Bittorrent website, I'm afraid.
