I download and upload music and dvd's off the internet via Bit Torrent, but the site I'm using says my connection is firewalled. I'm supposed to have my bit torrent ports open (6881-6889). I tried going to system pref>sharing>firewall and opening the ports there, but I don't think that is working. I just got off the phone with someone at apple and they told me it had something to do you my service provider limiting my bandwidth (not my computer). Can anyone help me get around this? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Kevin

Are you behind a router? That can cause complications, but you can get around them by using port forwarding. Let us know if you're behind one, and we can help you get set up.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!
