Help Forwarding my port for transmission

[Wonder Toaster]

Hey everyone, new to the site, but heard great things.

ok, so i have a bt homehub, and i want to download things on transmission, but recently it has slowed to a crawling pace, despite having many seeders. 😕

So, i heard that to speed it up you can forward ports, and whereas i am a good gamer, i have no practical skills with computers besides a few mainly showy bits of knowledge.

any help would be greatly appreciated. 😉

I followed the guide and not had any problems.

**Darn Duff Man is too quick!**

you can open your ports in the port forwarding tab once you access your router via your web browser

Which of course assumes that the router has a web-based GUI in the first place. I know these are super common, but keep in mind that Apple's AEBS doesn't have one -- you're tied to Airport Utility.
