First of all, I'm pretty sure I set my ports right. Before my problem was that torrent sites said i was still behind a firewall. No matter what i did, it would say i was behind the firewall and as everyone knows if you aren't sharing, your dload rate really sucks.
NOW, when i click on the file it says something like "it can't connect to the tracker" I can't do ANYTHING NOW!! Ahhhhhhhhhh!
I've looked at many, many bittorrent sites for help, and it seems that i am doing everything as i am suppost to!
any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

are you running a software firewall or hardware firewall or both?

I have windows XP, i opened the ports on my firewall AND the router, but I just get the same message for any torrent i download on any site
If the previous post doesn't fix it, I'd disable the XP firewall (provided you keep your hardware firewall intact) and try again. Do you have multiple machines behind your router? If so, make sure your port mapping from the router to your specific private IP address and not to some other one on your LAN

Thank you all!! I downloaded bittornado and it's now working, i had to turn the internet security off of that program, i guess thats why it's been blocking them

Alright it's downloading now, but is there anything i need to change in the settings, and can other seeders look at my info (as in ip address and stuff like that?)
