While it says it'll improve UPLOAD speed, I'm wondering if this... or a similar technique... is being (ab)used to produce the "share bug" I'm discussing in another thread: "Q: After a few hours, all upload slots are same file. "

Hmm.
To find out your IP go to start-run type cmd and press enter

the type ipconfig and your ipadress will show

It increses your speed to a maximum Its like.

Lets say you wanted to send radiowaves through a wall of steel and its working a bit but the tv on the other side is still very blurry, port forwarding would be like making a hole in the wall (a port) so that the tv can get a clear image.
