this may be interesting for the developers to take a look at. dont know if something can be done codewise as i only really skimmed through it, but it appears to be a shortcoming of qt

ps i decided to compile it myself to see if that would fix the problem and it did not.

did you use the svn version or the 1.2 available from the site ? I had lots of problems using both pre-compiled and source from the site on my Kubuntu system, and only after compiling the svn version did I have a fully functional KT (but now I wouldn't use another client !)

I don't have the post number at hand, but look in the past posts and you'll find the procedure, that's merely 5 or 6 lines to copy/paste in a terminal window...

KT shouldn't crash, if the port is allready in use, it normally goes to the next one.

shouldn't crash but does...

It took me a while to get KT (1.2) up and running - and it was down to the fact that I was still running Azureus in the background while I checked out KT.

After a while it dawned on me that KT was probably trying to grab port 6881 also.. Shutdown Azureus, rebooted and tried again - it worked..

Crash BT I was getting is

It shouldn't crash at that point.
