Turn on Windows Firewall.

Control Panel - Category View
Start Menu --> Control Panel --> Security Settings --> Windows Firewall --> Select 'On' and uncheck 'Do not allow exceptions'

Control Panel - Classic View
Start Menu --> Control Panel --> Security Center --> Windows Firewall --> Select 'On' and uncheck 'Do not allow exceptions'

don't worry friend.it take some time.i never used torrents in my entire life before.i just read & read for 2-3 days about all there is to know about torrents/settings/modem/port forwarding etc. & here i am today.same is the case with modem.

both DMZ & bridge mode are a security risk without firewall so my suggestion is go for bridge mode.just edit your connection settings & select type of connection as "bridging".nothing else to change.only change is that now you have dial from windows using your username/password instead of just turning on the modem in pppoe mode.

fine.. if i turn on it.. my port will not be forwarded as per whiterstar and prash.. isnt it??

superprash2003 · 02-22-08, 05:55 PM

bridged mode is not a bad choice if you have only one pc!!!

PS:I hope we are not confusing him!!!

Done... im going for bridging modem... i will chage the connection and let u know... but promise me that change into bridge modem will not affect my router rebooting script (bcoz... u ppl know how i had struggld to run the scipt)

superprash2003 · 02-22-08, 06:15 PM

wait!!im not sure about that!!normally the router rebooting script is for ppoe connections.. i am not sure about it in bridged mode!!

actually its even better.you don't have to reboot the modem.you just have to disconnect & then again reconnect & it can be done easily by 2 .bat files.here----
paste these lines in notepad & save files as connect.bat & disconnect.bat

for disconnect.bat---

Quote:

rasdial "bsnl" /disconnect

for connect

Quote:

rasdial "bsnl" ******_***@bsnl.in password

where bsnl is the name of my connection(it depends on what name you give to your connection)
******_***@bsnl.in is my username
password is my password

schedule these .bat files to run at 1:55AM(disconnect) & 2:05AM(connect) then again run disconnect.bat at 7:55AM

aruncse30 · 02-23-08, 02:35 AM

guys.. check the attached 2files.. bittorrent and utorrent.... is that speed good?? u ppl made me to smile... i think i have done it.. credit goes only to u ppl..... but...

.. still...

i have a doubt.. my bittorrent showing green at the bottom wher as my utorrent showing yellow ball and saying listen error... why????????

superprash2003 · 02-23-08, 07:57 AM

those speeds are quite good.. infact you can get even more speeds.. ur torrents have only 2 or 3seeds.. better and more popular torrents will give more speeds..first of all that torrent in utorrent has no seeds.. thats why its not downloading.. another reason could be because utorrent and bittorrent is using the same port?? both cannot use the same port.. so one will give an error

whitestar_999 · 02-23-08, 11:10 AM

always aim for high.i got speeds from 200-210KBps though i was using 1 private & 1 public torrent.even for public ones try to get speeds of 50-60KBps if there are,say,60 seeders & 120 peers for a public torrent.

yes buddy i have given the same port number.. ok i will change it and let u know..

whitestar_999 · 02-23-08, 02:30 PM

port no. does not matter much.you can select any from 50000-65000.it depends on no. of seeds & peers & uTorrent settings for connections.

just4kix · 02-23-08, 09:20 PM
