theres no port forwarding (STILL) for my modem type, but i still get good speed on cable..i agree the utorrent is best one, and pirate bay is definitely one of the best public torrent sites. also, if you use utorrent makes sure you enable “outgoing protocol encryption” in the options menu, its easy to find. when there is a group of seeds and leeches who also have it enabled, torrents go much quicker.
