Yes the ports thing may be it. I had opened about 11 ports as instructed in the doc I read but not up to
6999 so I can try that but if the others don't have it open then what can I do?
It looks like it is .75 seeded and 1 is supposed to be a good ratio?
But is .75 good enough?

It looks like for a long time my upload rate was 3 times my dl rate but now at 35% it seems to
have shifted so my dl rate is twice the ul rate so I'm getting more now. The doc says bittorrent works
something to this effect but doesnt say at what point this occurs. After I get it hopefully when I get it
I will leave it up and seeded for a few days before going for the next TR47 version.

thanks!

[edit]
I found the stats for the torrent on myspleen and under my username it says it cant find
the port even though I had opened them before I started it. Maybe I'm not opening them
correctly. I also just put the ip of my pc in the dmz and that should eliminate any need to port
foward right?! However Ill have to wait and see when and if the myspleen stats page is
updated cause I hit refresh but it doesnt have updated info that fast. . . .

[edit 2]
I couldnt get the damn port forwarding working no matter what I tried (linksys/win2k)
so I removed the router and now its working great.
