Rep Power: 1 | I once had a problem and BSNL gave me new values. They gave the DNS servers as 85.255.112.39 and 40. Are these the best or should I use something else because I am getting slow torrent speeds since I changed that. |

| Your DNS servers don't have a hand in your downloading speeds (for both http and torrent downloads). Changing of DNS servers has effects only on your browsing. Anyway, you may switch to OpenDNS (many prefer it over the default DNS servers) if you want to. OpenDNS But, please note that it won't have any effect on your downloading speed. Your torrent speeds might be effected because your port is not forwarded properly, or the torrent might not be having a good seed-to-peer ratio. |

| Platinum Member | You can leave DNS to be automatic. This way it will default to (real and actual) BSNL DNS servers. Or you can switch to OpenDNS as mentioned in earlier posts. Also as said above, the role of DNS is to resolve URL to IP address. The quicker this is done, the faster the page will load. But DNS does not speed up downloads of any type.

Rep Power: 12 | if you give the link as given by me , it is easy to copy and paste and change hxxp to http instead of editing the extra spaces you gave. presume the DNS appears in the modem. follow the advice given by @just4Kix ( make anote of these DNS if you want to revert ) then post the data ipconfig /all . CLICK "Go Advanced" Additional Options Attach files Manage Attachments Example: |

| For torrent, check the bottom part of utorrent to find whether the port is forwarded or not. If forwarded, you will find a green tick. Your firewall may have reset your values that there is some problem with opening ports. It happened to me once. Try this http://www.indiabroadband.net/broadb...ing-guide.html If you are still facing problems, change the values as shown here http://www.indiabroadband.net/broadb...nectivity.html (How to repair - Limited or No connectivity) Open DNS ![]() As Just4kix mentioned, you can simply change to select DNS automatically and try.

Rep Power: 1 | Open DNS changes my search settings and tampers with my browser, so I changed to BSNL DNS. I tried all I could to set up port forwarding, but no luck. It does show a green tick. One night, I downloaded 3GB in 4hrs. All other nights, I get slow speeds. |

| Enable Upnp in utorrent. CTRL + P will take you to the preferences. I haven't port forwarded but can get full speed with Upnp. But it is not safe, better rely on port forwarding. |

Rep Power: 5 | port forwarding has nothing to do with opendns.. since you see a green tick mark it means the required port is open.. |

| You need port forwarding. Simply go portforward.com and select your modem. Select the default guide. Do remember to configure a static IP. You will find step by step procedure with screen shots. If facing problems, please report here. |
