hmmm i think i asked this before... but noone answered, so ill ask again
what would my download speed using bittorrent at:
256k broadband ADSL
512k broadband ADSL
1.5mb droanband ADSL

Why are you saying this here?

Go look at my posts and youll know. I didnt answer your question directly but there are hints throughout the way. It all depends. Its not a definite speed. If you have dsl/cable it AVERAGES from 30kbs - 120kbs. Sometimes torrents even go as low as 10kbs - 20kbs for me. It really all depends. But normal speed for a "hot" torrent is 30kbs - 120kbs.

my '512k broadband ADSL' is maxed at 59kb/s

I have a D-link router and I'm kinda lost on how to forward my ports because it doesn't say forward ports anywhere when i go the configuration page. If anyone that has a a D-link router and would like to help me please PM me. My router is DL-614+.

-____- Why cant you just post a pic of your config screen here like the rest of the people. Its not really going to help us help you if you just blandly say that.

Ok, this is what I want to see. The tabs for Home, Tools, Status, Applications, Filters, Firewall, and DMZ. Be sure to "black out" or "white out" any confidential stuff you dont want to show us before posting the pic. (Like, IP address, username, password, etc.)

TOOLS

STATUS

HOME

APPLICATIONS

FIREWALL

DMZ

Yours has been the weirdest to solve. If this doesnt solve your problem then tell me. I think its your trigger for the BT client. I actually think that you dont need to add anything under applications. Its just your firewall that is killing your connection with BT. You know the drill, if your torrent doesnt show a green light at the top right hand corner (assuming that you are using BitTornado) and at least 1/4 of your downloads dont go at least a bit faster than usual then tell me.

... Thats not gonna help. Go do your homework on you D-Link router and comeback after you know how to at least get access to it.


For those who wonder:
Many people ask why the ports 3000-7000? Why? I think that BT uses the Ports 3724, 6112, and 6881-6999. Thats why some people who forward their ports from 6881 - 6999 and still have slow download problems. Well, the ports 3000 - 7000 completely covers the port ranges for BT. Why is 3724 and 6112 included. I think, since the new version of BitTorrent came out, they expanded the ports. At first it was 6881 - 6889. Then later it became 6881 - 6999. And who knows now? 3724 and 6112 came from Blizzard. Some of you may recognize 6112, as the use of B.Net. Blizzard, (for those who have experienced the patch downloader for World of Warcraft) now uses BitTorrent to help distribute their patch faster than using up their bandwidth to send it to you through FTP So they use the ports 3724, 6112, and 6881-6999. Thus I came to the conclusion of using 3724, 6112, and 6881-6999 as BT ports becuase Blizzard uses them for THEIR Bittorrent client. And hey, it works right? Logical?

has anyone else tested the settings for 3000-7000 and had a speed increase??
I tried it and it remained the same as before when i changed it to 6881-6999......

Make sure that your IP is also added to the service. Or you are behind a Friewall apart from your router like programs such as Zone Alarm. For Zone Alarm, you will also have to add your IP that your computer is using too.

*And if your router is crappier than the other then why dont you just switch back?
And go use BitTornado. Im only use to BitTornado, and not that familiar with BitComet if you want any further help.

Nah I'm not using ZOne Alarm and I added my IP as well. Did all the things I did for normal port forwarding.

Port forwarding did increase my speed.....from 5kbps to a very stable 50kbps on my 512/128 DSL connection. So actually I have no major problems on BT.

I just thought by trying the Blizzard settings u gave, will speed it up a bit more. But strangely, the difference for me is not much, in fact it's pretty much the same.

I was just wondering if anyone else tried this and had a significant speed increase from their setting of 6881 to 6999?

What? Are you seriously asking this? Go and read this thread from the beginning to end before you ask anymore questions.

I installed new Bit torrent beta . Older version downloaded like shit but new one is downloading faster than old one EVER . I really don`t know much about these port-things . Does somebody have any idea why it`s working now ?

Maybe whatever you are downloading has more seeders.

No , its not it .

At first it was 0-1 kb/s now download is about 8 kb/s and upload too .

I know I'm very noobish and this has been answered but.. I can't find apps and gaming eithier.. lol if someone could help out I'd be very thankful

BitComet has UPNP function. It forwards ports automatically

Well.. I don't use Bit Comet I use Bit Tornado

Edit - Oh yea and when I use something with Bit Tornado the light is yellow...

umm, i know this is uber noobish, but how do i find the ip of my router? i went to that site that gabriel sent me but it was confusing and full of xbox crap

http://www.whatismyip.com/

this shows your IP (however i know shit all about routers/networks/whatever else so i dont know if it'll work -- works for direct connections though)
