Ulitmate Bit Torrent Guide (Links and pics)

i always use other ports other than 6881 -6889, my speeds usually go from 250kb/s to 500 kb/s d/l , my upload stays at 55 kb/s on fresh torrent that is.

 

Hi,

I'm new to Bit Torrent - I just had one question

I wanted a client that only uses one port on my computer - I was having trouble getting Azureus to work and I wanted to use BitLord - how many ports does BitLord use to download?

Thanks

 

Is this good?

Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion.

Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet.

 

@ bumrush14, Bitlord uses one random port, I would reccommend using port 65535 or 55555,

@ FartDude what connection are you on?

@ Alien13 where is that information from?

 

Ive got a actiontec gateway that is hooked up to a linksys router, do i have to port forward or wutever it is on both of them? cuz last nite i tried everthing on this forum and my speed has not gone up at all, it only just gave problems that i had to work out. i have a dsl connection, usually when i downoad from the internet i download at 300kbs but on torrents i still download at less than 10 kbs, can someone help me or email me something? if u needi i will send screenshots.

Forward your linksys router, See what speeds you get then. Also download well seeded torrents

Remove your email It's against forum rules if someone asks for it, PM them with it.

 

I have Cable connection, with 8mb down and 512k up, i also have a linksys router and foward only certain ports.

 

sry, i didnt know that was against rules, how to i take it off? and i already forwarded my linksys router and everthing. but i guess there is not very many people seeding, so if i seed that gives me better download time?

 

I got it from shields up! And to remove it press the little button on your top right of the message it looks like a piece of paper

 

Bob click on this button

And basically yes the more people seeding the better speeds you will get, It also depends on the health of the torrent and the status of the tracker

 

Well on my torrent now its health is around 3000% is that good?

 

yes thats good, the ones in the hundreds are usually crap.

The torrents health is usually shown on the site before downloading

 

Pls help me, always when i dl torrents they r so damn slow,
I have a 600kb connection and i use bitlord.



im downloading from torrentspy.com, that is damn fast for me i usually download at 0.1kb and upload about 15kb. i dont know what to do im using the port and settings posted.

 

J-Kwon, amazing work my man! A for Effort, Share and Knowledge!!!!1111

Imma n00b with torrents, been avoiding them till now (needs the SGA Season 2 The Seige Part 3, so had to torrent).

Still lots i dunno bout seeders etc, that will come, but for now two thumbs up for this straight forward and n00b friendly tute!!!!


Next beers for you!

 

I have a problem still, after following your guide. And it is EXTREMELY irritating to me right now.

I'm on shaw extreme, 7000/1000 kbs cap. I've done the port forwarding, and I'm using Azureus.
But I've got a problem still, I'm getting SHITTY downloads, nowhere near what I should be getting if I understand correctly. I'm running anywhere between 1-15kbs and sometimes it peaks a bit higher, but not much more.

When tried with bitlord I usually just cap out at 15kbs, and no I don't have my download limits set, and my ul is set at 20kbs. This is really irritiating the shit out of me. Can you please help

 

I upped my upload, and .. I guess a bit of improvement? But still some lagging down that wont go past 10 kb/s and.. I really wont peak any higher than average 50-60kbs.

Anything else I can do?
