BitTorrent and Port Forwarding
by Webmaster on Oct.06, 2009, under Torrents
How to enable Port Forwarding on your router, if you have one???
Port Forwarding is necessary to get the best data transfer speeds from the BT client. The first thing you’ll need to do is log into your router’s administrative settings (the address is usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and go to the section that deals with “Port Forwarding”. If your router doesn’t support this, you’re out of luck. Some broadband routers put port forwarding in the advanced section.
Note that you can only forward a series of ports to a single computer IP but luckily, the BitTorrent client allows you to configure which ports it runs on, so you can set a different port number to be port forwarded to an additional PC. Something to keep in mind if there are multiple BitTorrent clients operating off the same router in the home, or dorm.
