port forward is not needed from the modem to your pc- port forwarding applies if you are a running a router.

Lets say your pc currently has ip address of 80.1.1.1- an internet requests will carry this ip, and when these packets pass through the modem they will all go to your pc. If you have a router, your router will have that 80.1.1.1 (public) ip address, and you pc will have an ip like 192.168.1.2 (private). the port forwarding is needed to forward the packets from the public ip to private.

ps- i would also edit your post to remove the mac address of your modem

gezz quick reply,
so its not the routers fault that im getting the slow downloads then, i was wondering why ive been pulling what hair i have left out all day trying to port forward. I got that into my head after reading http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/73686, thanks for the info anyways. i cannot find where to change the ports anyways

it gets dark

The ambit is not a router it is a modem.

i notice you are using a usb connection.... have you got an ethernet card in your computer? you are likely to get faster speeds by switching to that.

Some more information about your setup (windows version/ pc spec/ things you have tested / bit torrent client/ service level/ etc) might be helpful at this point
