| Post subject: | Utorrent & Port Forwarding. |
I have this perpetual problem with torrent programs. It has persisted for years and I've never quite figured it out. For some reason any torrent I have ever tried to download on my network is horrendously slow. I have checked, re-checked and re-re-checked portforwarding settings in the past and even now I am retrying to get it working--no luck. What sort of things should I look for as a problem? I am totally lost at this point. |

Use a non-standard port, I use 10000, for example. Also, make sure you turn on forced encryption, and disallow legacy connections. Make sure you're using a static IP on whatever computer you're torrenting too, otherwise your IP may change and the ports will no longer be forwarded correctly. |

I leave my torrent box open to the world, Eastlink is the shizz when pretty much interacting with any/all routers. |

This is insane, nothing is working. Could age of router have anything to do with it? Unbelievably frustrating. |
