Technology has the shelf life of a banana.
- You may be using the torrent software/client like BitComet,BitTorrent etc. To download the files from the torrent sites.
-
May be sometimes you may not be getting the apt speed acc. To your bandwidth.Well there can be many reasons for this:-
i) The firewall may have blocked your torrent client.
ii)There may be problem at your ISP's side.
iii)Your listen port may not be open - In this article we will see how to solve problems that are of the type three.
- In Bit torrent client like (BitComet).(I have used BitComet as an example here.) you may see a yellow light at the right corner of your software.
- This shows that your listen port is blocked.
- To see the listen port go to Tools-> option & and see the listen port.
- This listen port is very important for having better download speeds and it should remain open.
- Now we need to do some settings in our Router/Modem so that the listen port does not remain blocked.
- Check your IP by typing ipconfig at the command prompt.
- See the IPV4 entry,in my case it is 192.168.1.3
- Now open your browser and type http://192.168.1.1/main.html.
- You will prompted for username & password.Your ISP will be able to tell your Router/modem's password & username.
- Fill the desired username & password.
- Now in the left hand side where there are menus, click on advanced set up->NAT.
- Now add the listen port which you had earlier penned down.
- Add the IPV4 Address which you had noted down earlier as the server's address.
- Now the listen port will not remain blocked. The yellow light showing the status of the listen port will turn green which means that listen port is no longer blocked.
