Configuring the ports of BitTornado!



Step 1:
Since you are reading this guide, I'm going to assume that you have Bit Tornado installed. Open up Bit Tornado.



Step 2:
Close to the top you will see a Prefs link. Go ahead and click that link now.



Step 3:
The Port Range box defines the ports that Bit Tornado will use. These are the ports that you need to forward to your computer. Bit Tornado does not need the full 50,000 ports that come predefined. Go ahead and uncheck the Random checkbox. I'm going to assume that Bit Tornado uses one port per connection to you. Let's go ahead and set that port range down, to the number of connections you expect to have. If you want 5 people to be able to connect and download from you, you would leave the first box set at 10000 and set the second box to 10004.



Step 4:
On this page there is a UPNP Port Forwarding drop down box. Open it up and set that box to disabled. We are not going to use UPNP to forward our ports. Now go find your router on our routers page, and forward the port range you set above.
