Frustrating Problem! Please help!

[TheCoolGuy]

All my torrents and downloads are not getting full speeds. I keep getting the yellow smiley in Azureus that suggests I have a NAT problem because I am unable to make remote connections. I fixed this problem before by taking down all my firewalls. Right now, I have none up to my knowledge. My software one is down, Windows one is down and Router one is down. Is there some program I can use to see what is blocking ports? It is driving me crazy because I get less then 10K speeds when I am suppose to get so much more. I have Bellsouth ADSL. My line comes in to a Westell Wirespeed modem. From there, it goes into my Linsys WRT54G wirless router. My computer is directly connected to the router while the rest of the house is wireless. When I had this problem before, I turned off routing on the Westell and just make it convert the connection into the Linsys and make it a router. I did this and it was working fine until now.

Thanks for the help!

u can check your ports at www.Grc.com, some people are going to flame you suspecting that ur Downloading illegal content, BUT Torrent is usefull, when downloading Linux Distros, and other stuff.

I had a similar problem.. but I access the routers admin panel (mine was http://192.168.0.1/) and allowed the port Azureus used (6881 I believe).

And torrents are definitely not just used for illegal use, I agree. I personally create torrents of game trailers and legal music videos. Linux distros are definitely a great use as well.
