Ok so I bought Belkin 4 port Cable / DSL Gateway Router Model# F5D5231-4

And I noticed that my bittorent speed went down badly ... I used to get 120kB/sec ( or more ) and now if I get 8kB/sec it's like top speed  :cry:

I heard people saying something about port forwarding and disabling my firewall but I have no idea how to do it or even where to start ... if anybody could help me I would appreciate that .

Sincerely Michal K

Oh yeah my operating system is windows XP Media Center Edition

try typing your ip into internet explorer... your routers home page should come up.. from there look for.. security or.. gaming options or DMZ.. once you find dmz click enable.. it should ask you for the last number of your ip type that in

only thing is you should get a firewall because enabling the DMZ will leave you totally open to the internet

- another option would to find out the ports bittorrent requires to be open

try going to www.portforward.com 

click your router and look for bittorrent
