I just upgraded my router and although I forwarded the port I strill can't cut and paste bittorrent url and hit "add" bitton and have it start downloading like I had it before. Now I add a URL and hit "add" but nothing shows up in the download file section. What am I missing?
New Router is a D-Link Dir-825
Ok, first you need to provide a bit more information;
-OS and service pack/version?
-Bittorrent client and version?
-Does this have anything to do with a Buffalo device?
-Are you connected wirelessly or via Network cable to your router?
-If wirelessly, are you letting Windows manage your wireless connections or the D-Link software?
-Is your computer using a static IP or dynamic?
-Which port number did you set in your bittorrent program?
-Is UPnP enabled on your router?
Ok here it is

The oddest thing is not only can't I get the torrent to start downloading (if I add it from file) but I can't even add a torrent using its URL link. Since when I do it says adding and I press "ok" but file never shows up in window. I had it working perfectly with my old router so i'm not sure what this new router needs to get things going.
Man, supurb support Buffalo! Can't anyone help this guy? Or at least give him some troubleshooting to ease his consumer mind??
In the mean time, try updating your firmware on your router to 1.01 http://www.dlink.com/products/support.asp?pid=681&sec=1
Reading the reviews at newegg the factory shipped firmware seems to be very buggy.
**Edit** Make sure your firmware on your Buffalo device is at the current as well;

I don't have your Buffalo device to test with so I can't be too much help here...sorry.
Good luck!
PS- It would seem that Buffalo has changed the site to not advertise the bittorrent features of this device as heavily now...interesting.
