i'm using a netgear router mr814, i went to the router page but i don't get how to forward the ports. can anyone help me?

I found a step by step guide on how to port forward you router (Netgear MR814, you didn't specify what version so I'm going with version 1). You can find it here (http://www.portforward.com/netgear/mr814.htm). Just follow the instructions and you should be fine. Also, you don't have to make a Static Ip address, just make sure that your router is configured to use your dynamic ip address. Hope I could help.

nooooo use none black listed ports

Why do I get a "rejected by tracker - Port xxxx is blacklisted" error?

Your client is reporting to the tracker that it uses one of the default bittorrent ports (6881-6889) or any other common p2p port for incoming connections.

********** does not allow clients to use ports commonly associated with p2p protocols. The reason for this is that it is a common practice for ISPs to throttle those ports (that is, limit the bandwidth, hence the speed).

The blocked ports list include, but is not necessarily limited to, the following:

Direct Connect 411 - 413
Kazaa 1214
eDonkey 4662
Gnutella 6346 - 6347
BitTorrent 6881 - 6889

In order to use use our tracker you must configure your client to use any port range that does not contain those ports (a range within the region 49152 through 65535 is preferable, cf. IANA).
The size of the range you choose should take this into account (typically less than 10 ports wide. There is no benefit whatsoever in choosing a wide range, and there are possible security implications).
These ports are used for connections between peers, not client to tracker. Therefore this change will not interfere with your ability to use other trackers (in fact it should increase your speed with torrents from any tracker, not just ours). Your client will also still be able to connect to peers that are using the standard ports. If your client does not allow custom ports to be used, you will have to switch to one that does.

Do not ask us, or in the forums, which ports you should choose. The more random the choice is the harder it will be for ISPs to catch on to us and start limiting speeds on the ports we use. If we simply define another range ISPs will start throttling that range also.

Well, that is only for certain ISP's. If you are not having that problem then why bother changing the port range. I use the Official client so even if I wanted to, I couldn't change the port range. If you can not connect to the tracker and you get that errror, then yes, by all means do what you said to do. However, if you don't get the error and Bittorrent works fine, don't bother changing it. Hope I could help.
