i just installed a linksys router so i could hook up both computers to my rogers cable but noticed that some torrent sites won't let me download the torrents anymore. i did the whole port forwarding thing for the bit torrent ports. i noticed when i try and save the torrent files to my drive and access them that way they are 0 bytes in size. since sites like torrentspy still works it makes me think it might be a http referer thing but i don't see any way to change that in the router admin. any one got any advice?

I've had four in total. Each and every one of them has failed in under a year. Same thing for a friend of mine only he got smart after two and bought a different brand. Not a big fan of Linksys to say the least.Originally posted by BlackCrayonwhats wrong with linksys? i thought they were one of the better routers out there..Comment

seems like a pain to do that every time. will it matter if i leave it enabled?Originally posted by NoCarrierYou need to go to the admin of your router.
Under the "ADVANCED OPTIONS". Enable the DMZ.
Once the download is done, disable it.you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..Comment

Maybe the Dutch firmware is better.Originally posted by justsexxxI have a linksys too(wrt54g) and it rocks. I know other ppl who have these as well. Also still great(2 years now here)
As far as your question. No idea, I don't use bit torrent

I just use DMZ host - forward it to your local ip address, and 95% of the programs work fine again.. when you're finished turn DMZ host off.Comment

I found a site that has a load of drivers/firmware for linksys and they work way better.
I didnt bookmark it though - doh
It wasnt that far into Google though if you search for linksys drivers.Comment
