Hi guys and gals, I have this probelm and i don't seem to know why.

I have the linksys wireless router, and i port forwarded all the necessary ports (6881-6999). I did the static ip thinging too. I got connected to many seeds and peers (eg. download hunter x hunter GI final w/ dl 1126 and ul 1529) . However, my downloading speed is so slow 15k-60k. my connections to seeds (100% completed people) are mostly choked and snubbed. I basically downloaded most of the pieces from peers. I mean i have cable modem (from road runner) and i should get faster download rate. Before, i used to have like 200-300K download speed on bittorrent. I don't have the xp firewall enabled so that doesn't affect my connection. does anyone know where is my problem. I'm running bittornado by the way.

thanx
kevin

Here's something to try (I posted this method in the BEFSR41 thread, but it was mostly ignored): Go to the Management tab under Administration and disable UPnP. That's it. I always get a green light, and I'm not using port forwarding or a static IP.
