onearmedpanda Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 you can't just pick a random portyou have to use port forwarding if you want to change the port (incase you didn't know, this will increase you download speed by a LOT)go here http://www.portforward.com/english/routers...routerindex.htmfind your router, then find utorrent after that and follow the instructionsthen you can change the port to whatever you want to, as it will tell you in the instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
