Re: Newbie Question on downloading
Thank you so much U2Lynne!
I followed the guide link you posted for creating a static IP and changing ports etc. and now I'm back in business. What I can't figure out though is how I downloaded 62% with my old configuration. I just opened port 6881 in my bittorrent client for that.
But this Zeppelin video torrent was incredibly slow when it shouldn't have been because of the seeder/leecher ratio; do you think that my router firewall had something to with the painfully slow download speeds (because it seems to have greatly improved now that I've done everything in the guide you posted)?
One more question regarding my new configuration though; does having a static IP and 4 open ports on my router now make me in anyway vulnerable from a security standpoint?
Thanks again-
Jonathan
