I've been getting really crappy download speeds from BitTorrent recently and decided to try Azureus. I did so and on the opening wizard and it tested my ports for me, 6881-6889.
I get this error:
Testing port 6881 ... NAT Error.
I tried 7000-7009 and I got the same error, I figure this is why my speeds are so crappy.
I think the issue is the ports aren't open, but I don't know how to open them in OS X. BTW I have a router.

If your BitTorrent ports weren't open, you would not be able to use BitTorrent at all. Opening and closing ports does not affect speed. Instead, it affects whether or not you can connect with protocols that use those ports.
As far as your 6881-6889 problems are concerned, is your OS X firewall enabled?

OSX Firewall is not enabled.
Interestingly enough, I just tried the Sarwat BT Client and I seem to be downloading fast, but no where near 50k sec, more like 15k/sec.

Sometimes they are just slow.
Have you turned on port forwarding for those ports on your router? That would be my guess.

If it complains about NAT, are you using NAT? If so, you need to specify your external IP address specifically in the Azureus so that it knows how to direct external connections to you. You can't share if people cannot connect to you, and that can't happen unless they know your external IP address.

what kind of connection do you have? I have a 3mb cable line and get between 150-200ks and it also depends on the users line speed (but who knows what the hell they have) so I just wait for 15+ users to host the file before dloading.

I forwarded the ports like someone said, and I still get the same error. I am on a 512k DSL line.
Does this mean im forever stuck on slow BT downloads :-/
If it helps my router is Solwise SAR 110.
Thanks,
Oliver
