well there's only a few ports that are normally in use, so you'll probably be alright. and no utorrent uses teh same port for both out and incoming connections.

![]() | Re: Increasing Download SpeedNo problem Detox. And thanks for your help everyone. My ports are open now, and I shutdown my firewall whilst downloading, which I know can be risky but it seemed to work. Stigma

![]() | Re: Increasing Download SpeedWhen you're in uTorrent, you'll notice at the bottom on the bar, there will either be a green dot with a tick through it, or a red triangle/orange triangle - if you click that, you can test to see whether your ports are open. If they aren't you can follow the link on the page it produces, find your router, and there will be full instructions telling you how to open them, it may take a while to recognise it though. Stigma

![]() ![]() | Re: Increasing Download Speedis it wise for all these ppl to (including myself) to be posting that we've opened this port and that port and disabled firewalls etc.. just think if the wrong person comes along we might be opening ourselves up for something.. i've decided to close the ports again and just open them as and when i need them.. it only takes 10 seconds to log into the router and do it, plus i feel more secure this way. |

![]() | Re: Increasing Download SpeedI don't think its illegal or anything, I think companies like Microsoft, and our routers just try to protect us from virus'/hackers as much as they can. By turning off your firewall is not illegal; its your choice to have a firewall or not, it just protects you. The port thing is basically just telling your router that you want to accept connections through a particular port e.g. uTorrent - So I don't think you have to worry about anything happening to you!
