Get an up-to-date virus program first.

I used UTorrent and found it to be very good.

I used to use isohunt alot but dont have UTorrent any more.

Search for what you want then click download.

Do a search on Google for UTorrent download speeds or something like that and it will come up with a guide to 'tuning' you connection to make it faster.

Maybe not so good if your a novice like i was/am lol.

Now i have configured it to maximize the dload speed, the most i am getting is around 40kb.I think it has something to do with my router, as when i test the port i get this screen, any ideas?

You need to open port 37293 in your firewall.

Ok dean, the firewall on the router?

As windows firewall is off and norton is set to 'allow'


There is only 5 seeds, so with this port open it will find more and dload quicker?

Type in 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and then you will be able to change your routers settings, including opening ports etc

you can use supertorrents.org
I get around 650-700kbps on most new torrents.

Although you need to be invited and you should really seed as much as possible.
