  2. If you are asking about a specific torrent or file that you have downloaded, make sure that you include the complete torrent name, as well as the complete names of the files and their respective extensions/formats (e.g.: .rar, .wma, .bin, .cue, etc.). ALL

  3. For speed-related issues, please run various speed tests at a site such as speedtest.net (make sure that no other computer is using your Internet connection and that all other programs - including BitComet - are closed, during the tests). Include the results, along with the settings that you are presently using, in your post, so that we may review and offer suggestions to improve its performance. download speed on Bitcomet download currently 238mb, what else should I send?

So your connected to a wifi system that is not under your control, is that what your saying?

4

No. I get connected fine. There is a yellow ‘blocked’ notification at the bottom right of my download screen. It says that ‘my speed may not be very fast because my listening port is blocked and to check the configuration of firewall and NAT’. I do’t know how to unblock the port and configure firewall/NAT, as the message suggests.

thanks

Define “wireless hotspot”.

Who owns the access point router which connects you the the Internet?

6

GreyWizard and I are asking you the same question (in different ways). Who owns the wifi that your connecting to? If it’s not yours, then you don’t have control over it, if you do own it, then you need to tell us the make and model of the device.

Dark Horse, please don’t jump into the middle of someone else’s topic like this. Nobody’s sure who’s being replied to when you do, and it’s also extremely rude. Start your own topic. Remember to include the basic information mentioned in the “READ THIS BEFORE POSTING” topic.

This is actually very bad advice for 99.9% of users. The reason it works for you is probably because your port wasn’t blocked to begin with.
