i recently moved to a new apartment complex that gave free ethernet, but since i got here i’ve been unable to download on bittorrent at more than 1kbps. i’m pretty sure it’s just a matter of finding and opening some ports, but i don’t have access to the apartment’s firewall. is there any way to get around this? i’d prefer to do it without any actual “hacking,” but at this point i’m kinda desperate.

But that won’t stop me form telling them when they do something I don’t like, cause that’s what comments are for, getting feedback on content. If I was the hostmaster I would want people to both give positive and negative comments so I could know what they wanted.

Oh, and since I’m already at it, I wouldn’t mind it terribly if you guys turned of this *convert comments to all-lowercase* thing, because it looks like we’re a bunch of illiterate kiddies :P

Keep up the good work!

i love this site but i believe it has a huge charge to come up to, supplying a hack a day is a difficult task, lets hope this article today is not the begining of filling.

On a Linksys, update to the latest firmware and enable UPnP on the setup page. Allow the uPnP service on whatever software firewall you use and use Azerus as your Bittorrent client. It’s much simpler that port forwarding, there’s no full-time blocking of ports—uPnP only takes what it needs, and you can torrent to more than one client behind the router.

The pre-release ($20/yr subscription) Alchemy versions of the firmware provides a variety of load management tools that are ideal for use in environments where torrenting takes place:

This is BS. I thought this was going to be some cool software that could do load balancing, or filtering bogus seaders, etc.
This is lame. I would have expected more from this site.

Currently I am using a Belkin router. Can anyone help me out? Thank you in advance.

Come on guys, this is bull!

i love this site, but come on.

I hope this won’t be a one-stop-solution for everything nistead of hacks in the future.
