Question about torrents?

Question

I used to download torrents all the time on this computer using a direct connection to the modem. Now I am on wireless and my torrents spend HOURS checking the firewall. What can I do to make it faster, or is it the particular torrents I am trying to download that is taking forever (would a different client go faster)?

I am using a Mac

Answer 1

You Probably need to allow the port number on your firewall that your torrent application uses. What app are you using? Azureus, bitcomet, etc?, once you find out what port it uses, you will probably need to allow it on your firewalls, and if you are using a router, you might need to set up the Port Forwarding, if you do not know how to do that i suggest wikipedia.org and look it up, i believe it has instructions.
