? Dummies Guide to Torrents with 3g Broadband ?

Every101

Hi all. I'm a “Basic Settings” user on torrent sites with only half a clue
about Ports, Port Forwarding, Firewalls, NATS, Pinging, using CMD prompt. etc
so I don't really know what I'm on about!

I'm on Vodafone 3G Mobile Broadband using the Huawei E169
direct to my WinXP sp3 laptop
with usually 1.35Mb/s Down and .35Mb/s Up on speedtest.net
I use Vuze / Azureus client with some (SLOW) success downloading files,
connecting to a few Seeds and fewer Peers out of 100s and always with a yellow face (NAT problems).

Is Port Forwarding possible or necessary between a mobile dongle and Vuze? How?
Where/what to should I set the TCP/UDP setting to?
Do I need and can I set a Static IP address on a Vodafone dongle?
Could Vodaphone be choking my connection to the site?
Am I really barking up the wrong tree?

Please help but remember I'm a bit of a n00b

You'll find any P2P pretty much unusable on a 3G connection. Most operators will probably have it fairly locked down, as it would cripple their network if they allowed it. You can't do any kind of NAT as you don't have a router.
