Downloading/Seeding problem

[Kagemane_no_Jutsu]

I watched Naruto at my brothers house this summer on his computer, downloaded it through torrent files and everything without any trouble. But now that I'm home I am having tons of problems with torrent downloading. I'm using BitTornado, thats not what I used at my brothers but I couldnt find that program. When I use BT it says I'm behind a firewall and I need to find a way to get BT around the firewall or else it will never download or upload correctly. I have a cable modem going into a router, and it took me 3 days to download 97 mainly because it kept coming up with an error message and I had to restart it. So I was wondering if BT is a crappy program or if anyone knows how to get around the firewall.

If the mods think this post shouldnt be here then by all means delete it.

Thanks.

does your router have a NAT firewall if so that maybe affectting it but it shouldn't you also might want to look into port forwardding, just an idea

As suggested, you are going o have to do something called "Port Forwarding." What this does is it allows the ports that Bittorrent uses (6881-6999) to be open, causing a faster download speed. If you could tell me what type of router you have (Linksys, D-Link, etc.) and the model number of your router, then i can give you a step by step guide to port forwarding. Also, if you have any other software firewalls, you will need to port forward them too. Hope I could help.

Ok, here is a step by step guide on port forwarding for Linksys Network Eveywhere NR041 router. Remember, the ports that Bittorrent uses is 6881 to 6999. Also, where it says to make a Static Ip Address, you don't have to. Just use the Dynamic Ip Address that you have. Hope I could help.
