    Hi,
    I have a linksys wireless g wrt54GS with NTL cable broadband and i'm trying to optimise my torrents.

    The current setup is :
    Modem to Linksys to PC via wireless

    See attached for screenshots of my network config and the Port Range Forward screen from within the admin panel of the router.

    I have setup a local static ip and forwarded that IP to the port 32459. Within the security tab of the admin page i also unticked "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" as per the instructions on portforward.com.

    But i'm getting horribly slow download speeds on a very highly seeded torrent at the moment, approx 12-20kbps. Within uTorrent I have a yellow icon instead of the green icon to indicate that there is an issue with my network connection but i don't know what i have done wrong.

    Any advise...

    In your port forwarding rule you have not enabled the rule?
