That 6KBps is because of you making outgoing connections. To get incoming P2P connections working, you HAVE to have open ports. You need to open ports in your router and use those ports in your P2P programs like KTorrent. Until you do that...you can't expect to get good speeds in torrent applications.mediator said:

Do you have a Mac too?
You are able to download because your torrent client is initiating outgoing connections and downloading through those connections. None of the other peers are able to initiate connection to your system. Until that happens...you'll not see increase in speed because you are invisible to everyone out there.mediator said:^But then, How am I able to download if the ports r blocked?I shudn't be getting any dld speed at all if corresponding port was blocked!
I understand. But I find it hard to accept that both outgoing n incoming packets r travelling from same port coz its against the fundamentals of Networks coz that will certainly coz a lotta congestion and collision of the packets! Also, if that was the case then why was I not able to download when I didn't have a Wi-router connected in between my main router and PC? Something is very fishy!eddie said:You are able to download because your torrent client is initiating outgoing connections and downloading through those connections.

Understand it like this...you are like an invisible person in a group of people...they are all sharing things with each other but will not give you anything until they see you. You can reach everyone and take something but there is a limit to how many people you reach and thus a limit to the amount of "stuff" you get. I hope it is clearer now
Your main router would have been causing problems then and as far as I know outgoing connections don't need any ports open on your system (I could be wrong as I have very limited knowledge in this regards). Its just the incoming connections that need a particular port open for proper function. I don't have any ports open, yet I can surf internet without problems. I don't need an open port 21 or 80 to perform outgoing FTP or HTTP connections.mediator said:
I know. But its strange! Neways, outgoing connections r to initiate control connections. Incoming data is on a different port (if I remember well) called ephemeral port. U can't surf the net if u don't have any of the ports open. For proper function, u need to have both outgoing port(server port) and incoming port(client port) open. And thats right u don't really need 21 or 80 for ftp and http connections, but they r the standard ports set by ICANN (If i remember well). Ports r as important as IP addresses.eddie said:
