BitTorrent & Firewall

    Hi,

    I have downloaded BitTorrent and it says that I need to open a load of ports on my firewall for it to work.
    Does anyone have any experience of this, like is there a minimum that I need to open? I'm a bit dodgy about having a load of ports open obviously.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    www.portforward.com
    follow that guide for your router
    give bt permission in your soft ware firewall

    set the ports to something high 30000 +
    you need about 5 ports open for it max
    select the ones you want in bt > preferences then set them up in your router
