I installed the latest (stable) version of Shadows experimental client, and have allowed the udp and tcp port ranges 6881-6999 in ZA pro(Internet Zone security),

but I still have a yellow light icon, and crappy speeds!

eg: started out with 10 users 5 seeds, ended up with one user and 15 seeds and i was still halfway through after everyone had finished!

I was also uploading about 10 times as much as downloading (2kb download versus 20kb or more upload!

Do I need to add the port ranges into the trusted Zone security as well?

PS: On winXP (1mb cable connection - NOT firewalled by XP).

if you turn off za and start a torrent does it go green are still yellow
I only allowed it when za asked the first time, I didn't have to allow ports in za, you have to allow ports in your router
also you only need to open 6881 to 6889 any more is just a security risk
