| 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. |

Rep Power: 1 | (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 |

| Platinum Member  | @fms007,a little correction here: port forwarding means forwarding traffic coming on a particular port to a particular port on a particular PC or PC's inside a LAN using same public IP. |

| Use a good firewall. A good firewall can efficiently work while you download using torrents. I use Zone alarm. |

Rep Power: 1 | Use a firewall which has stealthing capabilities, test whether u are visible/invisible on the net http://www.grc.com/intro.htm If you are using torrent client software use PG2 or if using utorrent use "Ipfilter List" Close any unwanted open ports |

Rep Power: 2 | If the router is configured as a bridge, then there is no need to port forward as all ports are forwarded by default. This is important sentence I picked up from "Torrents and Port Forward Guide" Well I am asking "Is there anything to do more to use 'µTorrent' for downloading?" |
