Bittorrent

chad_b14@yahoo.com
I have recently installed the ASG v8.1 for home use and I have setup port forwarding in the DNAT section and setup a packet filter rule for bit torrent.  I have also turned off all P2P filtering yet still my torrents take forever to start, do not start at all, or download very slowly compared to when I had just a linksys router.  uTorrent reports  that the port is open and accepting connections.  I got the instructions for opening port on the astaro here: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/95/t/67203

    Hi, some torrent clients e.g. (uTorrent) will use the same port for both incoming and outgoing traffic.
    (I just confirmed that's true of my uTorrent with tcpdump.)

    Note however that you cannot control the source port of the remote clients, so you should use 1024:65535 for the source ports of the incoming traffic, and 1024:65535 for the dest ports of the outgoing traffic.
