Open the following ports for TCP & UDP: Local Ports - Outgoing Traffic: 1024-5000 Local Ports - Incoming Traffic: your chosen 'Listen Port' Remote Ports - Outgoing Traffic: All Remote Ports - Incoming Traffic: All
It totally depends on how big the file is and how many uploaders are in the swarm. But 9 hours is not a duration that I'm accustomed to unless the file is multiple GBs in size, or if there aren't that many seeds. You might want to check a few different torrent sites to see if the file you want is avaliable with more seeders.
9 hours for that is ridiculously slow. Either there's only one of two seeds, or you need to forward your ports. I haven't needed to do that with my router/firewall, but some other guys on the board can probably give you some info on that. First check your torrent for how many seeds are on that file. If it's ten or more then most likely it's a problem with your ports. Maybe someone can jump in with help if that's the case.
follow the instructions from the link below..... http://www.firewalling.com/personalfirewalls/sygatepersonalfirewallpro.htm
It downloaded it overnight. Looking back I think the seed count was low. I'm pretty much a novice with BT.
