i have never done bit torrent before. just dwnld the client and i am getting nothing. is there any settings i should be looking at??

Leave your client open for about 30min and if your still not getting anything there could be a few thing causing the problem.

You may have a firewall blocking the ports bittorent uses.

If your using a router you will need to open ports 6881-6889 and or forwarded them to your computer.

Your ISP may be blocking those ports.

I left it on over night and got the file. I'm going to leave it run but I have to limit my upload to 10kB/sec or my vonage phone won't work right.

DaveinOlyWA · 05-09-2006, 05:44 PM

ok its going now. very slow but going.

TheForce · 05-09-2006, 08:38 PM

Its good to hear and see people are downloading it just fine. I'm going to take a brake for a while but will hop back on later tonight or tomorrow to seed again. I have to use my bandwidth for some other things right now. Sucks only having about 50K sec up.

But its better than nothing at all.

Just a comment on the show. I thought it was pretty good. Some stuff was a little overkill but in all I liked it.

OK. I finally am on a network in which I can pop open the bittorrent ports. Anybody sharing? Theforce's link is down at the moment....
