Slow Torrents
I have heard that torrents are supposed to be a lot faster than normal downloads so I want to make use of that speed. I downloaded the BitTorrent client and the downloads are extremely slow (like 3Kbps or slower) does anyone know how to fix this? I am using wireless internet with a Linksys router. Thanks!

either not enough peers/seed or you need to forward the port the client is using.

you need to access the configuration page on your router. you need to foward those ports or you can just plug your pc directly to the modem then you wont need to do this.

Where can I access these settings? I have seen a page that has port forwarding stuff on it, but on that page there is a textbox and it asks what application to forward the port to. What should I type in the box? Thanks!

make sure 192.168.1.100 is actually the assigned network address for the computer you are using.
