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?

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
