i did a quick search and couldn't find anything about this so excuse me if its been discussed before
anyway has anyone ever got a virus through torrents before? if so what have you had happen?
i'm wondering because i don't have any firewall on and all my ports are open but the last couple days i havn't been getting any good speeds while downloading and when i do a test it says i'm getting NAT errors
is there anything else that causes NAT errors?
has annyone ever got a virus through torrents?

Unless the original torrent was infected with a virus, it should be nearly impossible to get one via Bit Torrent.
As far as the NAT error... are you using a router? Although the ports are open, are they forwarded to your computer/IP?
