I would like to improve my torrents download speed with Transmission. I came across a webpage that recommends forwarding ports. I tried to configure my router (Netgear MR814), with no result.
Could you shed some light on the following points?
a) how can I know the IP address of my computer?
b) how should I choose the ports to be forwarded?
c) is the "service name" important? The website instructs to add a custom service and name it "Torrent". Should I name it Transmission instead?
d) should I change the port number in Transmission's preference menu to one of the ports I defined in b)?
e) Is there anything else to do (fireall configuration, etc.)?
Thank you.
