How to get maximum speed in bit torrent

Bit torrent works by basically opening ports for upload and download. These include TCP and UDP ports. If you have Windows XP or later, and not getting speeds, you're almost certainly having a firewall enabled. You have 2 options now:

1. TO disable the firewall, which I do not recommend.

2. To open the port so that it passes the information back and forth without hassles.

I would recommend the second method. For more information on port forwarding, visit www.portforward.com to get extensive information about your router and how to get bit torrents' port forwarding method.
