Topic: How do you throttle bit torrent up speeds with an airport extreme?

[macdaddy]

I have great up speeds with the lma, using firefox. But damn, my upload speeds using utorrent suck. Wireless connection, extended with an airport express, but that is also the setup for the lma uploads...

Thx. I rarely torrent anything anymore, so I am out of loop as per router settings and such, and like I said, lma uploads, which I have been doing with fine results forever, are fine, so this is a new issue for me. Thanks, in advance.

Is your listening port open, and what is your NAT or firewall setup?

I have no idea...

hmm, did you do the original setup? (do you have the admin passwords and manual?)

edit: I might be able to find the instructions on what to change, but you'll probably need both of these.

Yes. I did the setup. Ihave the password. Thanks...

#3 is really the clutch piece.

just make sure you open/forward the same port that you have stipulated in the client. Usually I've seen this as 6980 or there abouts.

Sweet. Thanks for the advice. I will give those a try.
