Max™ Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Make sure its using the same port every time. Are you using uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitmanhart408 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 you should use utorrent. When I did mine I remember I was able to select a range of ports (ex: 1-20) so I can pick any port in that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GET OFF AXLS BACK Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Ill need to try Mega and Rapid, so far ive only tried torrents, is it to do with the speed that you want your port forwarded SS?, or like me just because it can be done and yours isn't?

Set your computer up to use a static IP through your router. That will make it so that your PC gets the same IP address each time it connects to your router. Then, forward the port for that IP. Make sure you have it set to forward both TCP and UDP. Make sure that your router's firewall is off. Use Windows Firewall and add BitTorrent to your exceptions list.I just got 20 meg broadband and my downloads are averaging at 500Kb and peaking at 1000Kb but when i check my ports are not forwarded, now i guess i shouldn't moan but fuck it i want the best i can get.The problem is my router has no clue on it as to what make or model it is, anybody know another way than visual to check it?If your router has a web-based interface, you can navigate to its IP address and check the model number there.
