Well, if you have a router and/or firewall, that is what is causing the download rate to be slow. You are going to have to do something called "Port Forwarding" which is basically opening the ports in your router/firewall that Bittorrent uses (6881 to 6999). If you could tell me what type of firewall you have (Windows XP, Zonealarm, etc.) and what type of router you have (Linksys, D-Link, etc.) and the model number of the router, I can give you a step by step guide on how to port forward. Hope I could help.

i have a windows xp firewall and i have a 2.4 Ghz wireless broadband router (d-link) dsl internet connection model DI-614+.....?..im not sure though.....i just looked at the router itself...i lost the box [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Hey, you have the same router as me! That's awesome! Ok here is a step by step guide on how to port forward you router. However, I have some changes to make on it. When you get to step 5, go to "Firewall" instead of "Virtual Server." When you get to Firewall, make it look exactly like this. Make sure you put YOUR ip address where I have mine and remember the port range is 6881 to 6999. After you fill in everything, just click apply and your done. For your XP Firewall, in my opinion, I would just turn it off. It really is a weak firewall and your router has a better one, so it is useless. Hope I could help.
hey, i have just one question about that....when i went to the firewall config to make it look exactly like urs, i saw that ur ip was the same as mine.... mine is: 192.168.0.100
wut does this mean?.........o and after doin all of this, how fast do your downloads go when downloading anime?.......
o...and also, i was downloading an anime file (koi kaze) from anime station at the same time as doin this process.....after i finished, the download was still the same slow speed.....do i have to restart the comp for the changes to take into effect?....or am i just doomed to dl at slow speeds no matter wut the changes?
Ok, let's start. For the ip address, it will naturally be the same since we have the same router. It doesn't matter though, I just tolf you to put yours if you had a different one for some reason. When I'm downloading anime, it depends on how many people are seeding it and how big the file ia. Lets say I'm downloading an anime with 20 people seeding it, and it is a single episode. It will take probably around 30 minutes to an 1 hour. Well, the speed increase should take affect after you made the change to your router. So, you might want to reebot, just in case. Also, to really see the increase, wait untill like 1 mb is downloaded. That is when i usually see the download rate sky rocket. Hope I could help.
i have windows 98 linksy firewall and an arris router where do i get the model number
Well, to find the model number, it should be on the router itself, the box of the router, or the manual. However, I need you to clear up some things. Tell me exactly what type of firewall you have, and exactly what type of router you have, and then I can help you. Hope I could help.
