<![CDATA[Bittorrent]]>If I enable the firewall even on the lowest setting this still causes my bit torrent uploads to slow down.  The states don't increase beyond the max and the CPU usage is v low.  No traffice shapping is enabled.  This is with PF b2.  Any sugestions to fix this.

I am using azereus so that only needs oneport for everything.

Im using it to and i have no problem at all with pfSense to get it work.
In Azereus i have this for it to work correctly:
under: Tools / options / connection
there is a box named: incomming tcp/udp listen port: 49152

and under tools / options / plugin distributed db
i have checked theses boxes:
enabled distributed db
use the default port

my pfsense have this in nat:
WAN  TCP/UDP  49152  192.168.0.210  49152  Torrent

and this is in rules wan:
TCP/UDP  *  *  192.168.0.210  49152  *  NAT Torrent

and i have speed upto 10mbit in with out and problem (i dont have bigger line in)

At the moment the way I have this setup is through VMware and I donwloaded the live CD.  The internet is comming from a router that I have switch off the firewalling of but left the NAT on (other wise no connection) and put the pfsense ip in the DMZ.  I then opened up the pfsense firewall with a rule from any port to any port any ip any state allow but this still makes the downloads go slowly to lossing the connection.  The only way to stop this from happening is to switch off the firewall in pfsense.

normal you have 10 poorts open voor bittorrend
so that you can upload and download 10 files add a time
6881 tiil 6889 is the normal bittorrend range

try opening 2568 till 2578 on you firewall
tiss will give you more up and download speed

TCP/UDP  *  *  10.0.0.2  2568  *

And put this in the port forward
WAN  TCP/UDP  2568  10.0.0.2  2568
                              (ext.: any)

All my bit torrent stuff goes through port  2568
