Drip Curl Magic Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 ok, so, I was told that in order for Azureus to work to it's full potential... I have to open up a port in the router...? ok, well, basically, I'm running off of wireless internet from my neighbors house. I doubt I can do anything without access to the router.... am I right?

I doubt I can do anything without access to the router.... am I right? it all depends on if they have there router's firmware firewall enabled and what ports they have blocked on it.

Buffy Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Ha! You wanna degrade your bandwidth by 90%? Sign up with bt or Azureus or one of those other "sharing" systems. We had a port open a while back and one of our employees set up bt on his machine and we became a major purveyor of porn for a few days. Brought things to a grinding halt...and that was with a T1... That's quite a pipe you got there,Buffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay-qu Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 if you use a known 'sharing' port your ISP will throttle it, they have a list of black listed ports - and some will even kill any unknown ports getting a lot of action. but I have been using bt for about 8 months now on 2 different ISP's and have been at full speed.. you need to find out your default gateway - this is the routers IP, go into cmd and type 'ipconfig', then type the default gateway into your browser. At this point you may be prompted for a password - the default for most routers I have used is no username and 'admin' as the password, if that doesnt work then switch it round. If you manage to get past that then now you are looking for firewall or port forwarding settings. You want to open a port with a high number, say 60100 any should do - so long you dont go to high, i think 65k somewhere is the max. then you must open that same port on any software firewalls, such as windows firewall. And finnally you must tell azureus that port number :naughty: oh and I forgot to mention that you must open both the port for use with both TCP and UDP:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binary_Branflakes Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I use a major ISP and I've been using bt for about 3 years, same account and i've never had any issues with my ISP about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binary_Branflakes Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 if it's a motorola router, after you pull the default gateway (http://000.00.0.0)the defaults are: admin pw: motorola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 original question:you are running off a wireless connection, it does not matter what you get at the router, you are limited by your connection to it wirelessly, so even if you did break into the router, still probably wont speed it up much... P.S. just use btdownload set of python scripts, screw the ginormous graphical clients... oh and you can throw your torrents into a folder and the system will automagically download them....

Drip Curl Magic Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 wow, I sure wish I knew what you all were talking about.:naughty: haha, all I know... is that... my friend tried to explain to me how to set up azureus... and he told me that I needed to open up a port with the router, otherwise, I'd download at 56k speeds.... which is what ended up happening when I tried to download some mars volta. Eh, it's not even really my internet, I don't know if it's even worth it. All I wanted were a couple discographys. I can probably obtain them elsewhere, though. thanks for trying to help, though, I appretiate it, but I'm just in over my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexander Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 dude it is so wrong to download torrents and stuff on somebody elses network, its not even funny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAHD Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Anyone who doesn't enable encription on their wireless is asking for it. Drip, you may want to curl up with google (and a magic bowl, knowing you) trying to find out how TCP and UDP works, that might get you into the right league. Ports and whatnot will become simple once you understand the structure of the system they work in. How I miss the days of baud and slightly modified plastic whistles...

Binary_Branflakes Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Speaking of the WAN connection Drip is mooching off of... Drip can't be getting a very good connection having many walls between him and the router anyways. As long as he doesn't hack into there pc's on the network, i say what harm has he done. but, that's my opinion. I also believe info should be free so...:naughty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay-qu Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 ..he is leeching off their downloads, and unless they have unlimited they would probably care.. with regards to speed - 512kbps is a decent connection, basic wireless 802.11b runs at 11Mb/s from memory, so unless the wireless is that bad of reception that it runs at 1/200 of its speed, then you wont be slowed down.
