I have a Dlink 604 router and I was reading a FAQ about BitTorrent which
talks about port forwarding. I don't find that terminology in my router.
Can anyone help me setup my router for running efficiently with BitTorrent,
or do you have to do anything at all? Download speeds are extremely slow
right now.

Thanks in advance for your help.
