    Hey everyone,

    This question has prob been answered somewhere else on this board but i cant seem to find it. So here goes...

    Connected to e-donkey but only getting speeds of 1 and 2 KB/s in transfer speed and a lot of problems saying my port is unreachable. What is the best upload and download port to use with e-donkey or do Eircom have a block on such programmes downloadin?

    Thanks

    You're probably using NAT, and need to open port 6881 which is what eDonkey uses I believe.

    As to how you do that, well it depends on your router/modem.

    Check out this thread - here

    and also to forward your ports - http://www.portforward.com/

    And you can use this to test that your port-forwarding is working as expected:

    (You need to have an active torrent).
