Thanks for the replies. I had Azureus and hated it. Every time I would open it, it would try to download some update that it couldn't install.

I switched to transmission (transmissionbt.com) on the advice of some Mac users on line. I like how simple it is, and that I can have a night time speed limit that is different than the day time speed limit.

I believe I only forwarded one port, and when I look at Transmission>Preferences>Network,

it shows: Incoming TC Port: 43192 (Port is Open)
Automatically map port (checked)

So my point is that it doesn't show a range of ports, which makes me think it isn't necessary.

uTorrent, which I see lots of people use here, is not yet available for Macs, unless you install something else and then tweak it. Seems like a lot of trouble.

I admit I'm in over my head, but I want to do the right thing by everyone here, and keep my share ratio >1 (just got there, whew). I suppose I can give Azureus another try, but it has so much advertising crap on it, I'd really like to stick with Transmission 1.22 if I can.
