Now i’ll give a walkthrough on how to manually perform port forwarding for Bitcomet for users who have BSNL broadband in India. These are the steps I followed and you can follow to increase download speed for Bitcomet:

• Do not use default IP address 192.168.1.1
• Set up a static IP address.
• Go to the router page by typing the url http://192.168.1.1.
• Enter username and password as admin.
• Click on “Virtual Server”under “Advanced” on the router page.
• Type the name of the application in the box. (Limewire or Bitcomet or any other name)
• Type the static IP address in the box below.
• Select protocol type as “Both”.
• Now type the port number that you would like to forward.
• Port number 6882 is recomended for Bitcomet but you can choose any port you like.
• Click “Apply” and restart the router.

Now you need to configure the port settings for Bitcomet

• Start Bitcomet.
• Goto Options->Preferences.
• Under preferences select Connection.
• Set download and upload limits to “no limit”.
• Under “Listen on port” type the same port number as the one you typed while on the router page.
• Click “Ok” and close the screen.
• Next goto “Advanced” and select “Connection”.
• Uncheck the box which says “Enable uPnP”.
• Click “ok” and you are all set.
• Restart Bitcomet and if the settings worked you should see a green button at the right hand bottom corner of Bitcomet screen. It will show you your IP Address.
