Hi guys,Just stumbled onto this forum, hope somebody can help me out. I just got the MTNL Triband DSL NU connection and I have some questions. Please bear with me if this seems like a lot to ask, would appreciate if somebody can answer them1) Can somebody confirm whether it is required to switch on the DSL router after midnight for the data to count as free download or can you just leave it on and schedule your download program to start after midnight?2) I am getting a download speed of 28 KBps, is this good enough? Are there any settings which I can change in the router to increase my speed. BTW, I am not using the spliter as I dont need to have a phone connected near my PC. I have just connected the router directly into the wall socket and all the phone wiring in my house is internal. I checked the DSL status in the router and got the following result:Item Downstream Upstream Unit ======================================SNR Margin 21 26 dBLine Attenuation 32 20 dBData Rate 256 256 Kbps3) Which programs will help me make the most of this broadband connection. I usually use Limewire,are there any other programs which can be used to download stuff?4) Is it required to modify any firewall settings either in windows or the DSL router before using the popular P2P programs? I have heard somthing called port forwarding, Is it required for me? I have tried Limewire and it seems to connect properly but dont know about the torrent programsThese are all for now, plz give me some tips to help me improve my broadband experience if you have anybye...thanks
