What ports does BitTorrent use?

By default, BitTorrent uses ports 6881-6999. These are TCP ports and not UDP. So if you are configuring your router, allow the range of 6881-6999 TCP.

If you are having trouble connecting to a BitTorrent Tracker, make sure that your BitTorrent can connect to 6969 outbound. Other tracks use different ports. Just something to be aware of.
