i believe if it is in 'red'...u are firewalled. the link above should provide the info to 'open the wall'...if not, check the 'technobabble forum'...probably a thread in there somewhere...good luck

You are so firewalled. Read the forwarding ports FAQs.

[feralicious]

and post technical questions in the Technobabble (http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4) forum.

Is this a number that would be from the ethernet connection? the 6000 numbered ports are all open

[TheMamba]

That is the port that your client is trying to use for BT. What client are you using?

[virginiasgrin]

I'm using ABC, but it's really slow

[U2Lynne]

Get the ports that ABC is using for you (Action > Preferences > Network tab > Minimum port and Maximum port). Those are the ports you need to forward through your router/modem and also through your XP firewall. I have a couple of links in my sig to help you out with that.

I switched to Auzereus and am now d/l ing at about 75 kBs wich seems more reasonable. Atleast I'm down to less than a day............Thanks for the help and the great site!
