Comcast Throttling

Post by cryptler9 »

I hear through some other boards, by downloading torrents using port 80, you will not be throttled. Does can anyone direct me how to set this up?

Thanks

Just so you know: some systems do not allow binding to any port 1-1024 by a regular user.

Transmission > Preferences: > Network > Peer Listening Port > 80

This will only set the incoming port to 80. IIRC, when Transmission initiates the connection, it will be a random port that is managed by the Operating System.
