Well, not surprisingly I screwed something up.

I did the stuff and then clicked apply and it cleared out the info at the bottom Sad

I suck at following instructions, sorry

Hey mate, you are not entering your IP on the site its just a guide, it's basically asking you to log into your router. In order to this you need to use the IP address of the netgear router.

The default for 99% of all Netgears is 192.168.0.1, if you type this in the address bar of internet explorer, this is the section where you normally type a web site address, there is no www. before the address. The default username and password is as follows

User: admin
Password: password

The rest of the info on the guide located at http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Netgear/WPN824v2/Utorrent.htm does seem quite sound. If you need anymore information or get stuck just let me know.

It depends on the seeds but average anything from a pitiful 5k to 70k on utorrent . (do occasionally get higher but thats the average)

I found Vuze quicker on average 20k-150.

I love downloading from thebox (fuc*en quick as, 100-200+!) only has UK production though.

Yeah, I am stuck.

My router is 1.1 at the end but I didn't know what ip address to enter for the SERVER (at the very bottom). I looked at the netgear instructions (to the right of where you enter the info) and it said to enter the computer IP address where it says server ip.

ANyway, I tried it again and downloaded the port checking tool on that site and it said that it was not being forwarded which I guess would explain why utorrent didn't speed up after I tried it last night.

Thanks but I'm retarded and I can't really follow instructions Sad

I need handholding or rather, step by step instructions over the phone but that ain't gonna work on here Sad

THanks though

I barely get 50 if I'm lucky. I use uTorrent.

µtorrent... And mostly 600kb/s, but there are a few exceptions (mostly 50~200kb/s)

Sometimes it gets a bit annoying, but I guess I shouldn't complain now I see some of the other speeds people get here Smile

my IP states i should get at least 11mb DL but the most iv ever managed is just over a mb.IT SUCKS ASS!

i have cca. 10 mB dwl/ssec , fiber , and with 15- 20 torrents i get max global 9mB-sec

i have trzed many clients. i cannot tell the diffrence. now using bittorrent

Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2009 5:01 pm

Wow.. you guys don't know how to properly set up your client properly or are you just to cheap to fork over some cash for a proper internet connection?

I pay for 10Mbps max average 7Mbps and I download from 750 - 1.1MBps

You are paying for 11 Mbps.. not 11MBps.

i would say utorrent is the best i have tried a few others. but they took lots of memory and slowed the comp down.
