Torrent help

I'm trying to download a file using BitComet and I have this error saying "Your listen port is unreachable by public domain users, please check your firewall and NAT router configurations."

Being new to torrent files, that makes absolutely no sense to me. Can someone tell me how I can make it so that these downloads go faster than the speed of 1kb per second?

1. Make sure you aren't getting internet service which blocks torrents(especially schools and whatnot).
2. Try using encryption.
3. Make sure your firewall doesn't block the port you've set for the torrent program.
4. Make sure your router doesn't block the port.
5. Try a different program(I like utorrent).

One more thing, how fast does a torrent usually run? How many kb, mg, etc. per second?

Depends on lots of things... Your internet speed, how many people are DLing, how many seeds, etc...

Do you even know how a torrent works? It can go anywhere from 0kb/s to 2mb/s on a good connection...

For me, a new torrent with a lot of seeds will go from 100-450kb/s.

An old one with only a couple dozen seeds will be about 30-50 kb/s.

Quite honestly, no.

Right now, I am downloading a 5GB Higurashi game that is going at about 100kb per second...I suppose that's good?

That's probably about as good as you can expect.

Higurashi Daybreak? I posted a DDL link somewhere a long time ago, you can try that.

Yeah, that game...

It's actually going pretty good, so it should be done it a couple hours

I got the lastest Hayate no Gotoku in 1 min 53 seconds, on a torrent. It seems someone else on my dorm floor watches anime.

Urgh.... in HQ or MQ?

It was MQ, for some reason, HQ doesn't play well on my computer.
