You could try 49152, thats what I use.

Try using only 10 ports, for ex 7000-7010 or 44000-44010.

Many Isp´s is blocking traffic on ports 6881-6999.

All of your ports operate at the same speed ;)

Many ISPs throttle ip ports -- either blocking in or out completely on them or only giving the "file-sharing" ones (1214,6346,6881-6899) reduced speeds well-below your connection's max speed.

Oftentimes, ip ports associated with the World Wide Web (HTTP://www. .com stuff) gets priority over 'random', unimportant ip ports.

So, how would you do that, when downloading with BT, open up the options and set the ports differently? then switch them in your router too?

change the ports in both before you start downloading though, that would prolly be the right way round

Edit - In Azerus you only need to have one port open :01:

So I can just pick any number I want between 1 and 99999?

Any number between 1025 and 65535 should be alright. But be careful of popular P2P ports (http://www.farrokhi.net/blog/archives/000233.html). These might work at slower speeds if your ISP is throttling them.

this been talked about already do a search and the more random parts u have the better just pick a number ot have over 25000 to 60000 i think around those numbers torrentbits explain it better

[ricochet]

The recommended ports are between 49152-65535. I use A.Z. so I have 1 port in that range and I always run in the green with no NAT...
