Hello new to Ktorrent
not so much to linux though i would say i still a noobie
i was useing rtorrent to do my downloading but i had a problem with it (I thought) but theres not really any community support on there site so when i tried getting help it didnt work.
So today i decided it was time to leave rtorrent for a new client. and ktorrent look good. but i am geting the same problem.
So that leads me to beleive that i have miss confiured my system (ubuntu) or my network
Now for the problem when i start a torrent in ether client they do the same thing connect to the tracker and get a list of peers
then for maybe 10 min or 1 min depending every thing is good
all of a sudden peers start to vanish 1 by 1 or by 2s down to nothing then if i restart the torrent they all come back same ip's and everything...
really confusing
so any way help please

Strange, seeing that both clients seem to have the same problem, could this be your ISP no really liking bittorrent connections and secretly killing them ?

Maybe you can try turning on encryption.

I'd agree with this, and also try changing the port to something other that 6882... something in the 35000-45000 range would be preferable. Also verify that if you have a router, the port is properly mapped. ktorrent will be nice and let you know in the status bar section if the port is mapped properly.
