Lightbulb Helpful BitTorrent Info

I came across this on another site and it helped my BitTorrent speeds a whole hell of a lot. Figured I'd let everyone else know. Here's a hefty guide on how to get BitTorrent set up.

The site that helped me was portfoward.com. Here's the main site for finding out how to forward ports for each programs if you're on a router. From here, choose the Torrent client you're going to be using. Then chose the Router you have and it will come up with a tutorial for how to forward the ports for the Torrent client.

I asked friends before why my torrents were so slow and they said to forward my ports on my router without telling me how to do it. So I figured I share the info I found with future torrent newbies. This site also has some good definitions of popular networking words and such. Let me know if I left something out.
