Oh god, I used to know about that stuff when I was trying to crack the firewall at school. I'm sure someone else knows more than me but if you come up empty, lemme know and I'll see what knowledge I can dig up.

yes, i know a few basic things!
to be able to download from torrent programs, if you are using wifi or another network system, you will need to "forward" the port, which, as i understand it, is just opening the door with a certain number on your computer, so that the torrent program can use that door to download the files. this site: http://portforward.com/ has all the info about how to do a port-forwarding for any model of router/modem. you have to first check your torrent program, to see which port it wants to use, and then forward this port.
does it make sense?
