ABC Speed

The Guv'nor · February 24th, 2005, 5:03 PM

I have downloaded a few episodes of top gear now and they have all been fairly fast. Just recently all the files I try to download are painfully slow. Is there anyway to sort this? I looked at the post on here about port forwarding or whatever and my router wasn't listed! So if anyone can help I would be thankful.

It could just simply be a lack of seeds. What torrents have you been downloading? Also, what kind of router is it that you have?

Kip_6666 · February 24th, 2005, 6:28 PM

Which router do you have?

The Guv'nor · February 24th, 2005, 6:28 PM

I've been trying to download the following; topgear - 2004.12.26; topgear - 2004.12.19 and topgear - 2004.10.31. I have a 2wire 526 wireless router

Are you sure thats the exact model name?

p.s , do all torrents go slow on your computer?

Well the only other name on the router is 'BT wireless 1250' is thats any help and yes all other torents go slow.

Thats the correct model name images/smilies/smile.gif

Then its most likely that the proper ports aren't opened.

From what I can tell its done via this screen:

I'll have a look around for some more specific info for you
