Aztech ADSL Ethernet 4 port router+modem

[tadasu]

hi, i've been using this modem/router for a few weeks, shared by 3 of us. and i noticed that besides downloading stuff directly from a site which is reasonably fast (512/128), about 60k/s the most, but dowloading using bittorent is slow! it's less than 10k/s. very rarely it exceeds 10k/s, even if it exceeds, it's only 15k/s the most. and 1 of my friends told me that i have to do some "port forwarding" stuff??? in order to get a faster dl speed using bittorent. any1 out there knows what's the solution to my prob? pls help meeeee thx

download speeds are also affected by the connection speed your download the file from. You may have a dsl/cable connection but the person your getting the file from is only running say 56k.
