Rep Power: 2  |  Problem with websites whilst downloading from torrents Hi folks, I have recently taken the Tata Wi Fi internet connection at 512kbps. I live at a hostel and the whole hostel is Wi Fi enabled. So you receive the signal. However, to login to the internet we require a username and password. That's it for the background. Now, the problem. I have gone through various posts about problems on downloading from torrents. However, my problem is slightly different. I have no problem in downloading from torrents. I get ok-ok speeds depending on the number of seeds and peers. However, whilst downloading from torrents I can't surf websites. The moment I pause the torrents download, bang my websites load as normal as ever ! I decided to do the standard test using U-torrent and this is what it showed me, "Checking port 47927 on 59.164.97.140... Error! Port 47927 does not appear to be open." I have few questions here : 1. If the port is not open, how come I am able to download at a decent speed? 2. How to make both of them work together ? I have gone through the post of "Torrents and Port Forwarding Guide" on this forum. It couldn't help much as I don't know the address to log in to my router. 192.168.1.1 isn't my router address. How could I find that ? Any help in this regards would be great. Thanks. |

Rep Power: 4 | this is because torrents usually utilize most of the bandwidth so limit the bandwidth to surf net |

Rep Power: 2 | Port isn't open means others can't connect to u, this prevents a lot of users to be ur peer so it can limit ur torrent speed, unless the torrent has high speed seeders... u have to forward the port so that it can be accessed by others... |

So how do I enable port forwarding? As mentioned earlier, the router I use isn't a personal router and hence can't be accessed. Any means of finding out my router's address ? Quote:

Rep Power: 2 | to enable port forwarding, u have to contact the customer care and give them ur username (TATA). if NATing/port forwarind is done u would get a decent download speed 60-64 KBps on torrents too. without NATing, torrent tracker will not be able to track ur UL/DL, ratio etc... Usually router's IP address would be set as ur default gateway. |
