torrent advice on Tomato Router needed

[Royee 11]

Hi I currently am using a Asus tomatoe router,  and just tried utorrent and tried ubuntu download.

 

I get a green check (lower right hand corner) so its confirming my connections ok

 

I can see under Peers section many are sending me the unbuntu file and I am also uploading very little around 1-2k.

 

My downloads are erradict at best, can be 30k to 300k then 5 seconds later 600k,  nothing consistant or steady.

 

I did attempt to forward a port and then clicked the test button but it reports not reachable etc I assume its since I am using a Tomato router and need to follow this guide instead ?

I wanted to find out also,  if I set up port forwarding correctly will my utorrent speeds be more consistant and better ?
