Changeing and adding rules

[Delgado]

I have been testing Lns now for a week, and like it very much. I will buy it I think.

What I dont understand is why a lot of people want to keep adding and changeing rules. Dont get me wrong, I dont wish to upset anyone, and people have been very kind and helpful, but I am a Silver Surfer, and cant really be bothered with all this adding business (Over 60 the brain slows up) ;D

If you are running with the advanced rules, which I am, and a prog works, why do you need to add rules from the Lns site. One example is Bit torrent, I am running utorrent, which works perfectly without me adding anything, so why do I need to put in Bit torrent rie? I am downloading and uploading at speed. A few members have told me to add rules which I am pleased about, and have done it, but it made no difference to my speeds.

Thanks in anticipation, Delgado.

i told u so... anyway some TRACKERS require u to forward the port ..thus making u connectable..others dont give a *** .. im using phantom's ruleset and love it! have not added any .rie rule either

you should add bittorrent rule because

{QUOTE-> The tracker has determined that you are firewalled or NATed and cannot accept incoming connections.

This means that other peers in the swarm will be unable to connect to you, only you to them. Even worse, if two peers are both in this state they will not be able to connect at all. This has obviously a detrimental effect on the overall speed.

The way to solve the problem involves opening the ports used for incoming connections (the same range you defined in your client) on the firewall and/or configuring your NAT server to use a basic form of NAT for that range instead of NAPT (the actual process differs widely between different router models. Check your router documentation and/or support forum. You will also find lots of information on the subject at PortForward). <-QUOTE}

i am using special rie for bittorrent protocol,i think you should create your own rie for bittorrent because some ports are black listed in trackers ;)

Ok thanks for replies. One more question on the subject, if I may.

When you add a set of rules that are already made up, eg Bit Torrent, or any of the sets that you can download from Lns, if you set your Lns to use those rules when a particular prog is used, Where do you place the rie set of rules, at the top or where? Sureley you dont have to break up the set and place them in different places?

I would have thought, speaking as a rank amateur on the subject, that if that prog is going to use that set of rules, as a complete set , it would make no difference, so you can place at top.

I hope all that makes sense!
