Post subject: | Opening up ports and port-forwarding |
perhaps this should be in the firewall forum... I was curious about those people who opened-up/forwarded ports, how many did you do this for?? I did only twelve 10000-10011 .... will opening more ports give me a more speed, is it realistic that i need more ports open?? I'm downloading a movie right now, its about 750MB, i'm downloading at an average of 70 Kb/s ...i am connected to 50 peers, and 15 seeds.... estimated time approximately 5 hours. ....are these good stats for a movie download on this system? I'm unsure what average and good stats look like, since I just started using this program last week. Thanks in advance for any help. |

Only 1 port is used per torrent, so forwarding additional ports only allows you to have more torrents open at the same time. 70KB/sec is 560kbps so that's a very nice speed. |

sounds average to me... not sure about forwarding more ports. Probably unlikely that you'll get significantly more speed. Speed mostly depends on the overall speed of your swarm. |

how is 70KiB/s = 560 Kbps? 70Kib/s = 70 Kbps, right? just another way of expressing the fact that its Seventy Kibibytes per second. or 70Kib/s = 71680 Kib/s i got a degree in this crap, and yet I still am confused. |

sorry, at the end of the last post, i meant to say .... or 70Kib/s = 71680 bps |

70 kilobytes/sec * 8 bits/byte = 560 kilobits/sec. kB = kilobytes kb = kilobits And kilo in this context means exactly 1000 (not 1024). 1024 is only used for k when you're talking RAM sizes. So it's 560,000 bits/sec. |
