14. For those using a modem/router, how is your modem/router set up...are you port forwarding or is UPnP enabled? UPnP Enabled

I have tried lots but to no avail, I can download some files, small ones but the bigger 1's just keep saying need more sources not moved at all in 24hrs, signal quality bars are full green I do have the wall infront of the globe even after disabling my firewalls????

Thanks

Do the files sit connecting for ages & then get stuck needing sources forever? Sounds like fake files Read the threads below for more info & tips.

How to find music (tips for movies as well)

To get rid of the firewall icon, try port forwarding for your HomeHub. The instructions are here.
Port Forwarding for the BT Home Hub
LW's listening port, port in the 'manual port forward' box & port forwarded within the HomeHub all have to be the same number!
