I beleive I'm cramping it a bit as it appears I only have one port open, the one I selected in azureus when I was also running bt-4.11. I'm currently showing 4 seeds and 65 peers in azureus, but dl speeds are ranging in the 125% to 175% of the upload speed, which is only half filling the upload pipe here. Its somewhat restricted in order that mail etc can continue flowing. I did, for a short time, see over 1.1MB/Sec down, but it didn't last very long. Its a 256/1.5 circuit. >Run this if your local firewall is tightly closed and it will allow >uploads. >After you're done with BitTorrent, run the same command, but replacing >-I with -D and it will close the firewall back up. >-- >Florin Andrei > >http://florin.myip.org/ -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
