Ih i am using gentoo and 1.2rc1 ktorrent.

i need help with port forwarding

Here is my router configuration



How can i check thet this is working? or i have done something wrong?


PS: sorry for bad english

Is that 10.0.1.54 your NIC? Cause it has to be forwarded to this ip adres.

Also, AFAIK it's better to take a random port between 1024 and 65534, since upto 1024 are priviliged ports.
Taking a random port instead of the standard might make it harder for ISP's to recover your port and lower the bandwidth. (some ISP's do that stuff, yours might not though)

Personaly i set ports for bittorrent in the 49xxx range, but this might be incorrect the faq of a specific tracker, so i always check this out first.

10.0.1.54 is IP of my comp.
So what do you say what shoud i put in first port# and last port#. And what for port# ?

Code: Select all

VoID:~ # nmap -sS 80.74.167.186

Starting Nmap 3.95 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-01-12 17:47 CET
Interesting ports on DYN_186-IP-80_74_167_186.ADSL.neobee.net (80.74.167.186):
(The 1668 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT   STATE SERVICE
23/tcp open  telnet
80/tcp open  http

Nmap finished: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 11.075 seconds


Only one port should be enough for ktorrent, and AFAIK only TCP does the job. So first and end port i.e. 49172 TCP.

nmap doesn't show my bittorrent port open here too, but i am connectable on bittorrent.
I dunno about the UDP tracker port in ktorrent though.

Ok, how can I test is this working??

Not in ktorrent i think.
The way i always checked this in rufus: the peerlist must have some clients connections remote and local initiated. In rufus there is a colum for this.

Some TBsource and TBdev trackers i know report this as an error to your client.
You might have to enable the logviewer plugin for being able to spot this though.

When the tracker isn't configures to report such things, you can still login your account at the tracker and look in the peerlist where each client is tagged with "connectable: yes/no".


PS. I personally think this connectable: yes/no information might be a good feature request for the status tab in ktorrent.

We have an UPnP plugin which can do this for you. (You can load it in the preference dialog)

If you want to be sure, you can load the logviewer plugin, start a torrent and see if there are any Authentication(S) messages (The S indicates that they were incoming connections)

here is some log

UPnP Plug in did not find any routers

Thanks for this information George.
Does this S also applies when UPnP is not enabled?

@Stator
You should better remove your passkey from the log.

EDIT
@Stator
Your passkey is the number after key=
It is bound to your account and thus to your ratio on that tracker.

What is the passkey?

Yeah.

@Stator

The log only shows lots of trackers not responding (that stupid one from the piratebay). You need a running torrent to verify this, you could try a torrent of a popular linux distro for a minute or so,

I'm not seeing any Authentication(S), but the snippet could be to short.
