if you have UT300R2U then no need to open any ports on the router.. you just have to configure nat-DMZ...and you have to configure your software firewall.. you can use any ports.. normally for torrents it is 6881-6888 .. for utorrent only 1 port is required.. u can use 6884

u confused me.. if there is no port is open.. how can i specifically port forward that port??? i.e how should i find this 51000??

should i start from 50001,50002,.....

you didn't get my point.what i meant to say is upto the modem traffic will come to any port.after that modem decides where traffic coming should be send.by default only very ports(standard like 80 for http,21 for ftp etc)don't require port forwarding as modem already recognize these ports.so for other ports you have to do port forward which means if modem receives traffic on port,say,51000,it will be send to your computer.you don't need to find any port.you just have to port forward the port you want to(in this case 51000).

dont worry!!!we'll try our best to help you!!

NAT-DMZ is in your modem's configuration page, go to your browser type 192.168.1.1 and enter username and password as admin ...then click on advanced setup,click on NAT,then click on dmz.. and enter your computer's ip address.. it should be in the form 192.168.1.x .. if you dont know ur computer ip then go to the command prompt and type ipconfig.. you should find it there.. enter ur ip in the modem's config page and save/reboot!!

never use ports between this range as this is default for torrents & many ISP's ban/restrict traffic on this port.read here--

What ports should I use for µTorrent?

It is generally recommended to not use any port in the range 6881-6889. µTorrent only uses one port, however, so you only need to forward one. It is best to use a port number above 10000.

superprash2003 · 02-21-08, 07:42 PM

oh.. ok.. i have been using that port since many years haven't had any problems.. anyways thanks for the advice.. i will change it!!

Fine... this is wat i did..
> i applied my system ip in http://192.168.1.1/ NAT-DMZ. save&reboot
> i didnt give any port number in utorrent.It looks like attached 1.jpg.
> Now my speed 2.jpg

Note:I didnt do anything except the above. I didnt change any firewall software. I didnt use any port number.. nothing... What u guys say now?? and one more thing frds.. even the seeds-peers are 25-10.. im still getting this much speed only.. i think we should use some port number.. isn't it??

bcoz.. in the above reply whitestar asking me to USE above 10000 and superprash asking me to USE 6881.. so USE means we should apply it somewhere.. correct me if im wrong..i think still i cant follow u ppl

superprash2003 · 02-22-08, 07:29 AM

well 1.jpg says that you have opened a port 56935... try switching off firewall for the time being and see if speeds improve.. secondly the speeds in the second torrent is only 5kbps because there is only 2 seeds.. try getting a better torrent and check if you get better speeds

whitestar_999 · 02-22-08, 10:16 AM

try a torrent with large no. of seeds & peers.usually latest movie torrents or fedora/open office/ubuntu torrents.
