Hey everyone,
I finally installed opensuse 10.0 and I like most of it pretty well. Seems to work pretty well.

Maybe I'm just not doing something right but here goes: when I click on a link to a torrent in konqueror and choose "Open with Ktorrent" then ktorrent comes up and the download is shown in the list but it says "stalled" forever.

I'm a newb at this, it seems like it should work. Could it be the firewall that came with opensuse 10.0? Could it be the firewall that my school has set up? Is there something I need to do? Anyhelp would be hugely appreciated. Have a great day guys.

Ignore this post until I, 1. post the logfile 2. Finish my term paper.

Thanks.

For the firewall of suse i have no idea because it might be configured from install or not, and i haven't used suse in years for myself. But technically it is possible that the used ports are blocked by your firewall, sure.

Most school firewalls are indeed configured to make sure that p2p traffic can't pass threw their big bandwidth lines. So that sure might be the problem.
But only your own firewall is really solvable because a good network administrator will spot and fix a used whole in the network system in a week or so. (if there are any)

I think the best you can do is try looking in the configuration of your own firewall and test KTorrent on a open network where you know for sure it doesn't have any firewall limitations.

For KTorrent:
Do you see any ip addreses in the peerlist? What does the log say? What does the tracker status say?
