    Re: Downloading Torrents For An Idiot-Help Please

    I freaking LOVE utorrent.

    I've been back in Thailand close to a year now...and torrents have made it so easy. I don't miss a thing from home. All the rugby league and stuff I want.

    Also been downloading tonnes of shows lately. All of The Shield (great show), 24 etc.

    If you leave it on overnight and have a very fast connection, you should download the biggest files. I.e. try and download the HIGH DEFINITION version of shows. They look and sound amazing.

    Absolutely true.

    Search Isohunt...the pirate bay...demonoid...before D/L anything and pick the largest seed.

    I dound an ep of 24 last night that had 38 seeders. Fast enough. Then I found the same ep with 598 seeders and it absolutely flew.

    If you download shows from America a day or two after they're shown...it's not uncommon to see 5000+ seeders. It flies then.

    Same for me when I had uPNP enabled. But once I forwarded my ports (and no Zehner it does not sound like a sex act, you sicko!!) I get a green tick all the time. Makes me happy anyway.

    Buddy Broadband. But it might be more to do with your router, no?

    Re: Downloading Torrents For An Idiot-Help Please

    Tried two different routers. The free True router was a definite no-go.

    When I upgraded to a new wireless router I tried, but I use Linux and it was a pain in the ass frankly. To be honest I've been pretty happy without portforwarding over the years and generally I'm connectable anyway. My upload speeds are pretty good.
    Excuse me for not taking this seriously .....

    Well, I can't say as it makes a huge difference. I just wanted to get it working as it annoyed me that I couldn't.

    Same, same here. It used to annoy me, so I manually forwarded the port.

    When I took my laptop to work, I had to use an alternate configuration to acquire a dynamic IP address. This always screwed up the settings on the static one.

    I don't know why, so in the end I just used uPnP port mapping. Greenie all the time.
