Cascade9:
Good morning(at least it is here). You keep stating you've answered questions, but I just don't listen? I'm certainly disagree and have proof that YOU are the one NOT listening/helping. You entered this thread at post#30. Nowhere since have you answered any one of many questions I've asked. You have critisized me as well as others. Go back to any post on this thread and SHOW ME where you answered the question I asked involving a "command" I came across/listed. I posted a 'readout" that showed 'no ports open", NO comment from you. You've insisted there is no 1 easy way to port forward, then in a later post you say (post#57) "Personally, I find port fowarding rather simple and fast, for me its a lot easier than doing a manual install of software linux distros." Yet, again, SHOW ME where you posted that command/process??? This is what I've preached, and you've critisized...SIMPLE-SIMPLE-SIMPLE! Look, it's not a big deal to me if you reply. I only ask(of anyone) that you contribute useful, direct solutions/suggestions/information. Contradicting me and, often yourself, is useless! If you don't know, OK. No big deal. I asked in an earlier post that we don't allow this thread to deteriorate to a 'bitch-out". Yet, that's exactly where it's at. I'm no father ahead then when I first posted this thread some 60 posts ago. Tell you what...it seems my question(s) have become a source of aggrivation for you. Perhaps you should do yourself a favor and just move on. Thank You: RICK To onebuck: Again with the ettique lessons??? Is there some pertinent information/suggestions concerning 'port forwarding" you'd care to contribute? If not, please, move on. 60-some threads and no solulution ... or even suggestions to a possible solution. ENOUGH!!!! Do NOT reply (this is directed at everyone) unless you have legitimate, useful informatiion to pass along. THERE, onebuck, does that fall within your ettique parameters? Good Day: Rick |
Sorry, did you not review this answer on a similar thread?
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...8/#post5160490 What would be helpful is if you posted specific torrent links which you are having problems with, or post your torrent application's log file as well as your system log file illustrating these port problems you state you're having. I'd also ask that you use the nmap command as offered in that other answer to ascertain whether or not torrent traffic is able to be used on each public wireless network you happen to be using. You may disagree, but I'm pretty sure that the use of profanity in your posts will have a negative effect. See .LQ Rules |
Note that the concept of port forwarding as a client on a public wireless network is irrelevant if the port traffic is not allowed to be passed by that wireless network. Again, use of the nmap(1) command will guide you there. There are examples of how to use it in that other thread.

to rtmistler/cascade9/JohnVV:
I apologize. I meant to include this 'site" with my latest post. This "site" has been very informative and, thus where I was getting info from: http://www.techsupportalert.com/cont...ient-speed.htm //rttmistler: Thank you for replying. As I use public Inet strictly, I'm aware of "blocking". However, I can download torrents from all but 1 of those public sites. Therefore (correct me if I'm wrong), it must be surmised my laptop does have certain ports open/available. At this stage in all these postings, and when referring to above website, I guess I should be asking this question.:: What ports should I consider to obtain maximum dl/ul. The website does indicate the need for port forwarding, but does not specifically reference which ports to implement. Now, as a follow up to this latest question:: Do I need to port forward...since I am "capturing" torrents. Confused yet? LOL LOL. I mean... since I already have "open ports", is there a need to 'port forward" other/different ports?. My "issue", now, is the slowness of the dl/ul rate. I realize I'm at the mercy of the 'public ISP" I'm using. Although, I wonder if I can do anything to improve the 'speed" on my end of the transmission? So here we go...(have I answered your question thoroughly?) Everyone Have A Good Week; THANX: Rick |

To answer your questions:
|
Answer to question A: No. Have asked a couple of the places and they've not responded.
" " " B. Can do...but it's not just one specific torrent " " " C. Do not recall seeing "any specific efforts" (?) posted on the screen.(?) " " " D. Sorry..don't recall seeing any. Just curious... if I were to have any of the last 2 symptoms (C. & D.) show up, what would that be indicating? I think you'll understand when asking someone/anyone in a public sector, chances of meeting/getting in contact with the S.A. is next to impossible. Uhm...did I test the ports cited in that link? No, not those specific ones...but I can, and I have tested different ports to see if they were open and that answer is "NO". I will post results of "test" soon. Replies to your answers no#1. Understood reply until the last sentence. no#2 Understood no#3 Have not reset any configuration(s) (all are default...to my knowledge). This final statement in answer 3 "My statement about ensuring that your client is not the slowest point in the network connection merely means that you have as high of a speed wireless connection as possible to the network you've attached too."...would not/should not this hold true for any client? So...now, off to do "some tests". If you notice that the sun starts rising in the west and/or the sky suddenly turns green, you'll know I'm at work "testing" my machine. Thanx: Rick |
I was wondering what the heck this was about, but it appears that 69Rixter has again made a 2nd thread on 1 subject....

Even if its not needed for legal reasons, blocking torrents still makes sense on public wifi. Torrents eat a lot of data, and can make browsing slow to impossible. It is somewhat possible to get around those blocks, but posting advice that would be at IMO least questionable under LQ rules. I wouldnt have even mentioned nmap myself........ Quote:

Did you even read post #60? I can see where someone might not get my 1st response to that iptables command- Quote:

Clearly there are issue with aiding the OP. Self moderating a thread is not some one should do. LQ Rules are for everyone, including OP;
