Re: Firewalled!!

saveferals, lots of people are no longer using ports 6881-6889 (the standard bittorrent ports) because ISPs are aware that those are the standard bt ports and they are starting to cap them. Many users are choosing ports in the 50000 to 55000 range (don't open all of those, just a few). You can go to portforward.com to find out how to open ports for your particular router. You will need to assign a static IP to your computer first (there are directions on the same site on how to do that).
