So, i'm trying to use utorrent currently, and for some reason it will never reach any full speeds, stays below 20 kb/s

it says that the port i have selected for use not forwarded properly, so i logged into my router, a motorola running ddwrt, and forwarded it, still no luck.

Also, when i go to the UPnP on my router, it shows utorrent as being forwarded automatically with the correct ports, which showed up without me doing anything...does this mean anything?

is there some setting on my router that is killing my port forwarding?

thanks for the help

Are you port forwarding the correct upload ports and not just the download ports? I think some Bittorrent clients are smart enough to know when you are trying to leach (even if you are downloading Ubuntu or Open Office) and your download speeds are throttled if you are not uploading.

On the Bittorrent client, I manually set the upload port to 6881 and forward any incoming requests to my router to the computer's IP address that I use for Bittorrent.

well, utorrent doesnt seem to have an uploading port, and btw, port forwarding used to work just fine until i switch my modem from bridged pppoe to regular mode or something

thats what made it stop forwarding correctly
