Ive got Bit Torrent 5.8.6 and the max download rate I ever get is 5kb's. And why is that light in the corner always Yellow. I want it to go green.
Shall I get a different Virsion or Torrent?
Thanks

You need to open outgoing TCP ports 6881-6999 in your firewall to get full functionality of BT. I usally get 120kbit/sec

If you're using a router, try hard-coding port-forwarding for ports 6881-6999 through to your IP address (assuming you're not using DHCP)......when I got my router, I was getting 15-20k/sec max, which is now hitting 60k/sec with the above change.
