Best Answer

Any port number can be used. A port within the 49152-65534 range is suggested as this will avoid internet Service Provider (ISP) blocks and possible conflicts with other programs.

Originally, bittorrent clients used the range of 6881-6999, starting at 6881 and going up if the port was closed. However, ISPs began to block this range and so bittorrent clients were adjusted to use any single port number of the user's choice.

Many ISPs, including mine, still block the 6881-6999 range, so it is best to avoid a port within this range.

The 49152-65534 range is suggested as these numbers are unassigned to any program and therefore there is no risk of conflict with another program.

How can you increase speed of torrent download?

To increase torrent download is to download a torrent which has more seeds than leeachers. To add more trackers to increase seeds is to copy the hash code and paste it in torrentz.eu, then find the trackers and copy them in your torrent. Google this if you get stuck. People try to increase internet speeds with softwares and tweaks but they dont work. Trust me. You can always port forward your torrent software. If you dont know how to do this, go to portforward.com or google port forward torrent software.
