P2p Problem - Firewall Problem

[splinterz]

yo - does anyone know how i can get my limewire/emule/edonkey working properly - it serches ok but downloads well slow - im using a betgear wi-fi router & on AOL - is there anyway i can change the settings to run better? - i have all firewall off but limewire still says im behind a firewall

Portforward.com

Should explain how to set up a static IP address and forward the ports so your download speed is up to scratch.

University networks are heaven connectionwise. P2P goes as fast as my Ethernet card can take it

my uni internet appears to suck. I have a two meg line split two ways, but you just plug your ethernet cable straight into the wall (no accessible modem or router) and I'm near certain I'm behind a router which is giving me a lowID. Still IRC d/ls at ~100kbps so thats nice.

you wanna count yourself lucky p2p works at all

in my first year the only thing available was an internal dc++ network, and that kept being shut down.

was hilarious seeing people collecting burnt cds of the latest 24 etc from the postal reception.

yeah its ok, I guess. It just means that I'll have to search the server rather than globally. Oh well :/

edonkey & emule only download at a maximum of 1KB/S for me - what can i do to make it faster? - limewire downloads at 210KB/S so i know my connection is ok but then again limewire is best for small files????

University of k.e.n.t (this filter really fucks me off - it filtered "k e n t" to "moron" and made me look like a fool) seems really against it. So I am setting up a swapping society, we can swap DVD's of stuff right under their noses that way...

You need to setup portforwarding for Emule. There was a link earlier on.

​

look, its done it again!

Why does emule need portforwarding but limewire or bearshare doesn't?

[c0ncept]

[splinterz]

[aapje89]
