Computers and routers use ports as a way to organize network data. Different types of data, such as web sites, file downloads, and online games, are each assigned a <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> number. By using <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span>, the router or firewall sends the correct data to the correct place.</p> <p>A firewall protects the computer<span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span> by blocking unauthorized information. If a firewall blocked all the incoming and outgoing data, the computer would be unable to access the Internet. When you want some data to go through your firewall, and you want it sent to a specific location, you can set up <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span>. <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">Port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> gives the firewall instructions about which types of data are allowed and how they should be directed.</p> <p>Information on the Internet is associated with a <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span>. Web pages, for example, are typically assigned <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> 80. File transfer protocol (FTP), often used for downloading and uploading files, typically uses <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> 21. Online games may use a number of different <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> numbers, but often choose numbers in the thousands.</p> <p>If you have multiple computers on your network, chances are that they do not all need all the data that comes into the network. <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">Port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> allows you to send the relevant data to the computer that will use it. If you have a web-server hosting your website, and a second computer hosting an online game, <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> will make sure that each computer receives the data it needs, without being bogged down with data intended for the other computer.</p> <p>In this situation, you would use <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> to instruct your router as to which computer is the destination for which data. The <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> instructions would send all incoming requests for web pages to the web server. This data would come in to the router at <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> 80, and the <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> instructions route that data to the web server.</p> <p>The online game server might be set to use <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> 5500. Any data that comes to the network at <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> 5500 should be from people trying to play the online game using your computer as a host. The <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> information in the router will direct all data coming in using <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> 5500 to go to the online game hosting computer.</p> <p>Using <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> also serves as another way to protect your computers. People outside your network will only have access to the router or firewall. The router or firewall with <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> controls which types of data reach your computers. Any data that does not come to the router with the correct <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> will not be passed through to the computers inside the network.</p> <p>Not only does <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> keep incoming data flowing to the right computer, but it also helps to protect your network by limiting and controlling outside access. If your network includes a web server, FTP server, or game server, or runs other services that require outside access, <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">port</span></span></span> <span class="yellowFade"><span><span style="position: relative;" class="yellowFadeInnerSpan">forwarding</span></span></span> will help keep your network safe and running smoothly.</p></div></span></div><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">How Port Forwarding Works</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Port forwarding basically allows an outside computer to connect to a computer in a private local area network. Some commonly done port forwarding includes forwarding port 21 for FTP access, and forwarding port 80 for web servers. To achieve such results, operating systems like the Mac and OS XP and the BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution) will use the pre-installed in the kernel, ipfirewall (ipfw), to conduct port forwarding. Linux on the other hand would add iptables to do port forwarding.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">Negative Side of Port Fowarding</span><br /><br /><p>There are a few disadvantages or precautions to take with port forwarding. Only one port can be used at a time by one machine. Port forwarding also allows any machine in the world to connect to the forwarded port at will, and thus making the network slightly insecure. The port forwarding technology itself is built in a way so that the destination machine will see the incoming packets as coming from the router rather than the original machine sending out the packets. </p><br /><br /></div>Emelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09549403845504099233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173972676745651531.post-28035129211423773862009-04-18T12:27:00.000-07:002009-04-19T07:35:27.284-07:00Number of Seeders and LeechersAnother important thing you should consider is the number of seeders and leechers. You might confuse why it is necessary or maybe what is seeders and leechers?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A seeder</span> is someone who contributes to a torrent. Someone who leaves the torrent running after it completes so that others may download from them as well, thus creating more sources. This is completely configurable by the user. To simplify, seeders are the host of information or the file.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">A leecher</span> is someone who downloads files and does not contribute to a seed or does not share any files that they have. Someone that is downloading it from a source without having the full thing done, and then most leechers in the end close the torrent after they get it, but those who don't become seeders. Leechers just grab the information without acknowledging for it.<br /><br />Before choosing the file (movies, mp3, applications, pc games, etc.) you want to download, first you have to check the number of seeders and number of leechers. It is important to choose files that have many seeders than leechers.Emelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09549403845504099233noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173972676745651531.post-61305523512884490872009-04-18T12:04:00.000-07:002009-04-18T12:20:36.028-07:00Free Internet Speed TestYou need to know first your Internet Speed in order to set the accurate settings for optimal connection. Try to test your bandwidth.<br /><br /><p>Since peer to peer file sharing (from the word sharing), means "what you receive, you need also to give". You have to change your settings after you determine your optimal connection speed. <br /></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Maximum download speed (leech)</span> <p>Don't be too greedy. Setting your maximum download speed to unlimited will hurt your connection. Just set 80% from the total optimal Internet Speed.<br /></p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Maximum upload speed (seeds)</span><br /><p>What you have receive, you need also to give. If you use your Maximum upload speed, there won’t be not enough space left for the files you are downloading. So you have to cap your upload speed. Try to give 60% of your total bandwidth to avoid slow download speed.<br /></p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Maximum connected peers per torrent</span> <p><em>upload speed * 1.3</em></p> <h4 style="font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">Maximum upload slots</h4> <p><em>1 + (upload speed / 6)</em></p>Emelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09549403845504099233noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4173972676745651531.post-63651830327385444672009-04-18T11:35:00.000-07:002009-04-18T12:03:23.143-07:00Boost Your Download SpeedI have tried different torrent software to download my favorite movies, mp3, pc games, applications and many others.

P2P is an alternative to client-server network design. </div><p style="text-align: justify;">P2P technology can also be found in other places. Microsoft Windows XP (starting with Service Pack 1), for example, contains a component called "Windows Peer-to-Peer Networking." P2P is especially popular in homes where an expensive, decidated server computer is neither necessary nor practical. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">P2P is a popular technology for file sharing software applications. This technology helps the P2P client applications upload and download files over the P2P network services faster ever. </p><p><br /></p>Emelyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09549403845504099233noreply@blogger.com0
