port blacklisted

Hi

Im new to this site. I'm on the 128kb unlimited airtel connection, but I always get port blacklisted whenever I try to use bit torrent. Is anybody else experiencing this?

thx
slick

Forums:

This is unrelated to your ISP, and is very likely done at the tracker that you are using.. So just change your port to something else .. say between 10000 and 60000. That should fix it.

The reason why trackers do this is because most ISPs block or throttle traffic on these ports, thus making the swarm inefficient.

Hope that helps,
Karthik.
