I run Azureus and specify the port that it uses for connection(s). You don't have to specify a range, just a single port...then log into your router/firewall and enter the "port-forwarding" information required by your router that correspond with:

1. The IP of the box running BT (DHCP or static - doesn't matter)
2. The port number that you assigned in the client config

Enable the "forwarding" until you are done, then disable it. You can turn "forwarding" on and off as you wish, it only involves logging into your router.

I have yet to find any reliable mirrors hosting the DVD, the bandwidth costs would be outragious. I used BT and it took me 3 hours on the night it was posted. Not many seeders at the time, but speed was fast enough. By opening a port for BT, my speeds have consistently been near that of a direct FTP or HTTP connection.

To restate the obvious...md5 the images before wasting your time and discs with a bad burn.

Game on...
