uTorrent is the torrent software of choice since it's fast, lite and simple to use. To make the most of uTorrent portforwarding has to be configured properly. If not, your IP is not visible to outside peers.
BSNL DataOne Broadband is not the easiest to configure portforwarding though. With the UT Starcom UT300R2U modem it is a bit tricky. Here is how to configure portforwarding for BSNL DataOne Broadband and uTorrent.
Step 1:
Even though your IP address is dynamic, the ADSL router would always assign an IP address to your computer. Most probably it would be 192.168.1.2.
Go to Start -> Run. Type cmd or in Vista, type cmd in search and press enter.
At the command prompt type 'ipconfig' (without the quotes) and press enter.
You should get some information about your Ethernet card, IP Address etc. Note the IP address of your computer.
Step 2:
Open uTorrent and go to Options -> Preferences.
Select Connection and under Listening Port, set Port used for incoming connections to somewhere between 40000 and 65000. Also uncheck Enable UPnP port mapping.
Next select Bandwidth. Set the Maximum upload rate to somewhere between 14-16 kB/s and Set the Maximum download rate to 0.
Step 3:
Open your browser and type in the address http://192.168.1.1
You will be asked for a username and password. By default, in most cases, this the username will be 'admin' and password will be 'admin' (both without the quotes).
You will get a neat interface of your router. Select Advanced Setup from the menu on the left. You should get a submenu under Advanced Setup. Select NAT from this submenu and then DMZ Host. DMZ host refers to Demilitarized Zone.
Enter your IP Address that you found in Step 1 there and click Save/Apply.
Thats it. You're done.
