What does the UPnP Auto Port Mapping mean?

0

To get the best speed possible, BitLord needs a public listening port as other p2p applications do. But if you are behind a DSL router or use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), you need to manually configure a port mapping (a port forwarding from gateway/router to your computer). This is usually quite a boring task. BitLord takes advantage of the UPnP technology as MSN Messenger does, so it will automatically configure the port mapping for you as soon as the download task begins. Please note that UPnP is only supported in Windows XP or above, and your hardware router must support UPnP and have it enabled. By default, BitLord won’t release the portmapping when exiting. You may configure it in Options -> Advanced -> Connections Dialogues.
