- Please check if it's UDP or TCP. You might have selected TCP for port forwarding but Torrent also uses UDP. For some ports that's important to make both forwarding. One for TCP, the other for UDP.
- If this doesn't work, you need to go deeper. You need to have access to an external computer on internet (a friend) from which you can start a telnet. For instance :
telnet mypublicip 45682
On your side, you need to check what's coming on your network interface. Two options to achieve this :
- Either you book a linux live cd (kubuntu), and you run in a console :
sudo tcpdump -ni eth0
(eth0 is the first ethernet adapter of your workstation).
- Either you use wireshark on Windows, this should do the trick, but you cannot be sure that there is no other software blocking on your current installation.

Once you have accessed your default gateway screen for your router,
you will then want to click on the firewall tab at the top of the
screen. After the firewall summary screen opens, you will then click on
the firewall settings tabs to begin setting up an open port on your
2wire dsl router.
Once the firewall setting screen opens you can then add an open port
to your specific pc. Under step 2 you will see a list of predefined
applications that have already been created for certain video games,
servers and telephony (VoIP) services. Since in my example we are
opening a port for Utorrent, we are going to manually configure port
forwarding for one of my pc's. To be opening a port for Utorrent, click
on "add new user-defined application" you can find the link just below
the list on the left side of the screen.
Once you click on add new user-defined application, you should have a
window that resembles the one below. Within this window you should now
be able to enter a name for the application that you are opening a port
for. Underneath the application name, you know have the choice of either
tcp or udp, and then you would enter a port number or a port range that
you want to open up.
For security reasons, you should only open one port, unless the
application specifies otherwise. The more ports that you have open on
you router, the more doorways you open for hackers and viruses to enter
your home network. Since we are opening a port for Utorrent, you are
going to want to click on the tcp box and then enter the port number
that Utorrent gives you, in my example I am opening up port number
51225. After you have entered you port number, click the add definition
button. Once you have added the definition, you are going to then click
on the back button.
After you have clicked the back button, you should now be at the edit
firewall settings screen. All you have to do now is select your
computer from the list that is listed After you have selected the
computer that Utorrent will be hosted on, all you have to do is find the
recently created user defined definition from the list under number 2.
After you have located the Utorrent port forwarding application simply
click on the add button, which should assign the Utorrent port
forwarding application to your computer. After you have completed the
above steps, you should be all set; now your Utorrent program should
download and upload at a faster speed.
