Now i'll give a walkthrough on how to manually perform port forwarding for Bitcomet for users who have BSNL broadband in India. These are the steps I followed and you can follow to increase download speed for Bitcomet:
- Do not use default IP address 192.168.1.1
- Set up a static IP address.
- Go to the router page by typing the url http://192.168.1.1.
- Enter username and password as admin.
- Click on "Virtual Server"under "Advanced" on the router page.
- Type the name of the application in the box. (Limewire or Bitcomet or any other name)
- Type the static IP address in the box below.
- Select protocol type as "Both".
- Now type the port number that you would like to forward.
- Port number 6882 is recomended for Bitcomet but you can choose any port you like.
- Click "Apply" and restart the router.
Now you need to configure the port settings for Bitcomet
- Start Bitcomet.
- Goto Options->Preferences.
- Under preferences select Connection.
- Set download and upload limits to "no limit".
- Under "Listen on port" type the same port number as the one you typed while on the router page.
- Click "Ok" and close the screen.
- Next goto "Advanced" and select "Connection".
- Uncheck the box which says "Enable uPnP".
- Click "ok" and you are all set.
- Restart Bitcomet and if the settings worked you should see a green button at the right hand bottom corner of Bitcomet screen. It will show you your IP Address.
