Thread: Just A Bittorrent Client Question.

  1. #1
    Is there a bittorrent client that doesn't need port forwarding to always get full speeds and the green light?

    I believe there was an udp bittorrent client, but I can't find it at the moment.
    I'll have a further look around.

    No, there isn't -- it's due to how routers work.

    Why are you against port-forwarding?

    Port forwarding just allows your Bt client to get thru your firewall or router


    If you attack the establishment long enough and hard enough, they will make you a member of it.

    No, and there never will be. Why ? Because the OTHER clients who are also behind fw/routers don't know how to 'talk' with you (or rather your bt client). Hence you can only connect to clients who are NOT behind said things.
