I'am trying to download torrent file, but it is very slow. I use Azureus. When I check the connection itś says "NAT wrong or someting".

I need help, please!! I think i need to open ports.

yes you need to forward the ports 6880 - 6889 from you router to your azureus box.
(why ask if you know the answer?)

Try this - it works for me.

Find out your current internet address (numeric) and then execute this on the command line (as root)......

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 6881:6889 -j DNAT --to- [your current numeric internet address]
