[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 763297, member: 24098"] Incorrect. Bittorrent is a give and take system. If you're not uploading, your downloads are severely restricted. Port forwarding is usually set up on your router, not the computer itself. The default port for Transmission is 51413 UDP and TCP. You'll need to access your router's configuration web page and find the section for setting Port Forwarding. Then use that port number for both TCP and UDP protocols. That should do the trick. Also, on your MacBook Pro, go into System Preferences => Security => Firewall tab => Click on "Set access for specific services and applications. This should allow you to specific Transmission as being able to "allow incoming connections". Once that's done, you should see your speeds increase. Don't expect it to be immediate though - you have to get a chunk of the file to share before the speeds start to ramp up. [/QUOTE]
