port forwarding does not affect your speeds in a direct way. It only helps to connect you to more seeders/leechers.

More seeders/leechers = more speed but its only applicable in 95% cases.

Please go through

It is really informative. But when we open a port, we leave a door of our house open.

(1.)what is port forwarding...?
From what i think of port forwarding.....it is basically a technique (method) of opening a door (port)(a hole) in your router.....also opening a door (port)(a hole) in your firewall in order to allow a specific program access to the internet.

(2.)wat r the benefits of doing it....?
With reference to the post at hand...if u forward a port via your router as well as via firewall than the data sent and received through that port will not be obstructed and you will get the deserved speed for whatever u r downloading.... the speed of downloading in itself depends on various factors as type of torrent,seeds, leeches, ISP throttling bandwidth etc.

(3.)mention its drawbacks too....?
As mentioned by a member here before u r exposing urself by opening a door of your PC
