I have used Bit Torrent for approx 12 months quite successfully.

However, over the last 2 months, I struggle to reach 3KBps now. I use the Bit Tornado client and despite forwarding ports 6881 to 6890, the indicator on all torrents shows yellow which indicates a firewall or port issue (no firewall)

My brother (BT) has no problem.

I swapped the Pace Box for a Samsung one about 6 weeks ago, don't know if this is a coincidence.

I have tried all the tricks from the forums, but no joy.

I have rang NTL who were not interested so I have told them to cancel the TV, take away the STB and install a Cable Modem. I will give it a try before switching over to ADSL.
