kenth Posted April 6, 2008 CID Share Posted April 6, 2008 Has anyone here been able to port forward with smartbro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted April 7, 2008 CID Share Posted April 7, 2008 My guess, as I dont have Smartbro, would be that they proxy everything to prevent excessive bandwidth usage.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deoxyna Posted April 22, 2008 CID Share Posted April 22, 2008 @kenth from what i know, port forwarding don't work with Smart Bro 'cos we're just sharing IP address. that's why all Smart Bro subscribers have anI IP address that starts with 192.168, read a few post about port forwarding on Smart Bro in this forum somewhere, but i didnt get the chance to try it. sorry.if this wouldnt help you much. why would you want to port forward if i may ask?

kenth Posted April 24, 2008 Author CID Share Posted April 24, 2008 why would you want to port forward if i may ask? I want to port forward to make my torrent program work correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesnes Posted April 24, 2008 CID Share Posted April 24, 2008 I tried Utorrent, bittorrent, and a couple other torrent clients with smartbroKE, but because the smartbro NAT we are locked in blocks direct access to most ports, my speeds SUCKED and I could never get a normal connection. Now I use Bitlord... somehow it's able to work around the NAT problem, and I get much better results consistently! I LOVE IT! I don't know why or how it does it, and I don't care as long as it thwarts the stupid smartbroke constraints. Give it a try, it's not a memory hog and doesn't use up your CPU speed either.

deoxyna Posted April 24, 2008 CID Share Posted April 24, 2008 using utorrent (on Windowss), ktorrent (which is bundled with Kubuntu) and havent' had any problem with downloads. i didnt even have to setup any parameters. from what i know, I think the only drawback with Smart is you wont be able to seed because you dont have a port open directly, but you can leech anytime. donwloads sometimes can be very slow when many users belonging to your BTS are also downloading. Except for ebooks, i stopped downloading videos, softwares, etc. from torrents. i suggest you visit your nearest video CD outlets. i'm sure the title you want is available. I even asked almost everyone belonging to my base station to refrain downloading torrents so we can all have a better internet experience.

fr0stbound Posted April 24, 2008 CID Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have no problem seeding. And note that if you don't upload enough, their gonna limit your download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deoxyna Posted April 25, 2008 CID Share Posted April 25, 2008 i understand that's how bittorrent p2p works, but i've noticed my upload speed alswyas stays at 0, wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
