Anti-virus to check files you download for computer viruses.

P2P Download and Your Firewall

The anti-virus feature on a firewall probably cannot check P2P downloads for viruses, so use anti-

virus software on your computer to scan the NSA for viruses.

When you download using P2P download, many other P2P download users are also trying to

download the file from you. The firewall slows this down because by default, it only allows traffic

from the Internet in response to a request that originated on the LAN (it lets you get files from the

Internet and blocks those on the Internet from getting files from you).

Firewall Blocking Incoming P2P Download Requests

To speed up P2P download file transfers, configure your firewall’s port forwarding to send incoming

TCP port 9090 and UDP port 9089 connections to the NSA. You probably need to use your firewall’s
