Can someone please tell me which port the 'open port check tool' is supposed to look at? When I go there it default checks 80 and tells me it can't see me.
On this site when I try to download I get the ole FIREWALLED label at the top.

But on other sites when I complete downloading it says I am seeding back with varying upload speeds but at least it is working.

Any help appreciated.
Thanks, :hmm:

For the 'open port check' you're supposed to enter the port number that is specified in your BitTorrent client. If you're using uTorrent you can find it in "Options" -- "Setup Guide" --> "Current Port".

Don't stress about being firewalled. You can still upload and download fine if you are firewalled.

If you are not firewalled: you can connect to firewalled and non-firewalled users.
If you are firewalled: can can connect to non-firewalled users.
