i just got the linksys wireless and now my download is at 20 kibs. the onle reason i went cable is to watch and download anime from here. It no point if i have to wait 24 hour to download 3 episode.

I assume you're behind a router, did you open ports 6881-6889?

Try going through your router manual if you don't know how to do this.

i just open the port and enabling it nothing?

Try using ABC:

Note: you have to open from port 6881 to port 6889.

Not sure what is the model number of your router. But try this link

Just change the ports to the one mentioned above

ChaiTazotea said that he was getting 20k/s. if the ports were closed, then he would get nothing. I work at a network with over 400 wireless laptops and if something is slow, i use the warrenty to replace it. I think it is your network/wireless card. Also, what do you use 802.11a, b, or g?

ChaiTazotea said that he was getting 20k/s. if the ports were closed, then he would get nothing.Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! If the ports were closed, he wouldn't be able to download/upload to other firewalled users, which would slow his (and the swarm's) download/upload speed. Forwarding the ports allows him to download and upload to everyone on the swarm.

basically all u have to do is open the ports... NO not on your BT.. on your router.. your router comes built in with a firewall... u can either turn it off or open the specific ports that BT uses...

PS~ dun forget to turn off the ICF(internet connection firewall)if ur using windows 2000 or XP.... that comes on sometimes and if u dun turn it off it will reject all ports cept for like 80 and the ones for webbies..

remember to open ports on your router that your file-sharing software uses, and to configure your Windows 2000/XP properly to disable the default firewall settings.
