Thank you all for your wonderful help, and advisce. I managed to seed two shows today, and I have uploaded almost 2 gigs, so I am very happy about this. I am still going to try and forward my ports, so I will get faster speeds, but at least I can download, and most importantly seed shows. This will probably take some time, and a lot of effort on my part, and I am not sure I can do it on my own, but I'm gonna try. If you want, you can close this thread, however I think it would be a good idea to place this thread in the babbel archive for others to learn from, because it sure helpped me. I will attempt to get as far on my own as I can, but I may need further assistance from you guys if this is ok. Thanks all once again. One more final question. Since I am at least able to seed at this point, although slower for now, until I can getthe problem cleared up, do I really run any serious risk in simply leaving my firewall turned off, or do I really need to have it on?
