Default port forwarding for my torrents!!

Alright, so i'm on a freshly rebuilt laptop because my hard drive ---- out on me a week or so ago. I'm trying to get my port forwarding working again so i can download faster.

I have been following this guide:
http://www.portforward.com/english/r...5/Utorrent.htm
to the dot and it's just not forwarding. Utorrent runs the test to see if the port is open and it keeps failing.

When I had it working earlier I remeber it was a bitch then to set up. i think I just opened a ton of the ports and it eventually worked. I've been trying this for like 3 days and I just don't know. help!

dont bother with it. not worth the time or hassle. i just run a regular setup off my router on three computers, a xbox 360, and a wireless laptop. even with the 360 taking most the bandwidth i still manage 150-300 kb/s download rate.

Okay look. Use any ports over 50000 Like 51233.. Okay so you put that in utorrent to use 51233. Now in your router put in to open ports 51233-51240.. Sometimes utorrent takes longer or shorter to recognize it. Change ports about once a month or less. Oh and for the type use both.
