Utorrent connection?

Question

when you click on the speed guide tab on utorrent and close to the bottom there is a place where you can put in a port number, first of all what is a port number and second where can i find this port number?

Answer 1

Port numbers are for port forwarding. When something comes in on the utorrent port it directs it to your pc, making it easier for people to connect with you. It is used with routers.

Answer 2

This guide on setting uTorrent up for best speed has info and a screen shot on setting the port in uTorrent.  It also has info on clearing that port and getting the best download speed in uTorrent:
