    RE: bit torrent help

    Your not supposed to take off your firewall. You just have to route the ports it uses through your firewall. Then when you download it, IT WILL SPEED UP AFTER A FEW MINUTES. At the beginning, it will probably show you some bogus time but leave it alone and it will speed up. The settings panel at the bottom allows you to set how many people can upload from you. I also have dsl and if I leave it on the dsl/isdn option and set my upload to 3, my downloads go fast.
    This fantastic Sousuke sig was made by the one and only Lucifus! Thanks man!

    thank you very much, but wut about the upload speed?...wut do u set that at?...also, how fast exactly do your downloads go when you put it at these settings?

    o yea...also in your reply u stated that the dl speeds are crappy only at the beginging, but for me, they are crappy the whole time and take a long time just to dl 1 episode.

    If you are using DSL, the upload speed will affect the download speed. If you got a 256 ot 512K modem, put your upload speed to around 5 KB/s, and you should be fine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

    Sorry i should have been abit clearer [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

    If the upload speed is too high, it will make the download speed SLOWER!!!
    So LIMIT your upload speed, and then it will download FASTER!

    now go and c if it works [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
