Hi, I've a question regarding Downloads with KTorrent.

I have installed KTorrent, and it works with most trackers. That's the good thing...

There is one Tracker, I use, where the Port 6881 is closed. So, I can not download from there. But that's the most important one for me.

The Tracker provides a Port-Range within 49152 to 65535. How can I now configure my KTorrent-Client for this Port-Range.

Thank U

PS: Excuse my "not-so-good" English, it was a lot better a few years ago ;)

Are you talking about the port where your KT client should accept remote connections or the tracker port KT is connecting to?

I'm getting this one:
rejected by tracker - Port xxxx is blacklisted

The Tracker, I want to connect to, blacklists the Standard-P2P Ports. So it should be the Tracker Port, KT is connecting to.

No, you just need to pick a port in the range you mentioned. The tracker is talking about the port KTorrent is listening on. You can change this in Settings -> Configure KTorrent -> Downloads -> Port

The port the tracker uses is specified in the torrent file, and can't be changed (the UDP tracker port in the configuration dialog is something different)
