bazwalt Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 I'm trying to download a Bittorrent but I'm told my port is blacklisted. How do I change port settings in IE 6 to allow me to download? :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 What firewall do you have running, and what BitTorrent client are you using? (IE6 doesn't come into this, by the way.) By default, ports 6881 -> 6889 are used by the various BT client - allow your BT client to send and receive through a few of them, then try.

bazwalt Posted November 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 Ash, I'm using XP's own firewall and BitTorrent 3.4.2. 6881 -> 6889 are all black listed. I think I need to use something around 40000 ->65000 (ish). How do I do this :huh: Baz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Clients like ABC and Azureus let you set which port you like, not just the default ones.It's your ISP that's blocking those ports...who are you with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
