hi guys..,am a newbie to this forum & found it really informative.... just posting a few queries of mine with regards to downloading torrents...i got the home 500 plan & use MuTorrent client btw..,
1.had problems downloading torrents for almost 2 months... cud not find any proper instructions for port forwarding for my UTSTAR 300R2 router... jus changed my connection type frm PPPOE to bridge & hopefully its all up & workin now.yesterday was downloading my first torrent frm link-removed.com using MU Torrent...it had abt 20 peers connected to it..,when i can see 35 KBPS is quite good for a 256 Kbps connection..,v all get speeds like 160KB+ wen connected to the server directly..,& i have seen ppl here tellin they r gettin such speeds in torrents itself..! is it possible guys to get such a speed in torrents....,?wat do i have to do for dat...?!
2.whether i download 1 torrent or 2 torrent files..,my "bandwidth" remains the same right...,so wont my downloads be at 15KB each instead of single file bein downloaded at 30KB... since sum1 in this forum had said make multiple downloads to increase the bandwidth....
3.jus found some tips sayin forwarding the ports can help us boost the speed frm the current 40KB to 160KB+ .... info is here... http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/73686
pls let me know if this is possible in my UTSTAR300R2 router... point to be noted is that i have changed to bridge connection frm PPPOE recently...can port forwarding be done in bridge setting...?
cuz when i enter into my router setup, (192.168.1.1) im not able to enter the port forwarding setting..,i get the error message as "u must enter an ip address on LAN clients page for the selected LAN group to enter this setup"
& when i enter the LAN clients page to do so..,i got three text boxes namely
a. select LAN connection (default selection is LAN Group 1)
b.Enter IP address (i entered 192.168.1.7) ---->>>((((assuming my comp. ip is 192.168.1.7))))
c.Hostname (i dont know wat to enter)
d.MAC address (i dont know wat to enter)
as i said left the last 2 fields empty & when i click the apply button..,sumthing like this appeared..
Delete IP Address Hostname MAC Type
192.168.1.7 Static
next up..,went to the port forwarding ----->custom port forwarding setting...,where i had several options again..,when i fillled in with details dat i knew..,i got a message "error on page"..pls help me out guys..,any help will be highly appreciated...i shall enter the fields that appeared & the values i entered...
1. Select LAN Connection: LAN group 1 (selected by default)
2. Application (i entered MuTorrent)
3. Enable (with a tick mark) i choose both TCP & UDP)
4. Source IP address (i entered 192.168.1.1)
5. Source netmask (i dont know wat to enter)
6. Destination IP Address (i entered 192.168.1.7) ---->assumption
7. Destination Netmask (default entered value is 255.255.255.255)
8. Destination Port Start (i entered 12345)---->(assuming i have entered that port in Mutorrent)
9.Destination Port End (same value as port start...12345)
10.Destination Port Map (i dont know wat to enter)
4.in mutorrent there is a scheduler to specify the time period to use full bandwidth,limited bandwidth & turn off but is it capable to starting downloads & ending them at a particular time...,dats 2 to 8 respectively as i find it troubling to wake up at 2am to switch it on...,
5.in the the mu torrent client.., there r few indications like these..,can u pls tel me wat they mean..
a.seeds:x of x connected (x in swarm) ... wat does that swarm mean....
b.under the peers section where it shows all the available peers..,when i right click each of the them..,get an option "add peer"..,wats does dat mean ..?
thanks...!
