I don't know where this belongs but since I've got a router my torrent downloads have slowed down tremendously. I use Bitcomet with Vista. I've added the listening port of bitcomet to the router and Windows firewall. I've also opened the supposedly fast ports 6881-6889 in both and in my desperation I've allowed telnet to my computer in the router. To no avail. HELP before I throw the whole network out of the window and install my good old puter again.

If youir router comes with a built in firewall you don't need the Windows firewall. If you have 128 encryption on your router you most likely have a built in firewall. The Belkin routers are all with built-in firewalls. Is this what you have?
If you use Windows firewall with the built in firewall it will s----l----o----w you down alot.

I've got a firewalled router. I'll disable the firewall of Windows and see how it goes. Thanks for the tip.

Ah yes, the ol' Windows Firewall...

Lol for a moment I thought this was your new sig.
