I installed tor, privoxy and tork, they didn't play 100% nice with ktorrent so I ditched them and got rid of my old ktorrent file in /.kde/share/apps/ktorrent and this ktorrentrc file somewhere else and another config file somewhere and I still am getting these error messages but can connect to peers I just think there is some connection problems plus I know the UPnP is not working. Anyway I get this : could not connect to host Proxy localhost at port 8118. I got rid of all the tor and torpark configuration files and checked my /etc/hosts file and nothing. I am stumped as to where ktorrent is still getting instructions from to hook up to the tor/privoxy setup when I got rid of everything. Will someone please help me so I don't lose my mind?

Tork the KDE gui for Tor leaves the proxy settins behind in Konqueror and for some reason this will keep ktorrent from connecting directly to the internet. Why is that? I mean is Konqueror integrated into KDE and ktorrent like IE in windows? I should have checked this I guess I just didn't think about it until right now.

Tracker connections are done via KDE's KIO library, this uses the global KDE settings for proxies.
