so, i'm trying to switch over to nix for my fileservers and an important part of that is torrents. so i installed ktorrent fine, loaded it up, checked what ports it used, forwarded those ports in my router. downloaded a couple of torrents for a test-run, and i got no incoming connections, no data coming through whatsoever 0kb/s. I'm pretty sure I don't have a firewall installed on this gentoo box, but hmm.. nothin is goin nowhere

heres a screen to show i've set stuff up right.. and also not shown here but the DHCP client log shows this pc is definately 10.1.1.3

thanks anyone willing to help out a newb

nevermind. i figured out what was wrong. the tracker that i download from doesnt support ktorrent client. but i just couldn't find where the error messages for the tracker are in ktorrent.. can someone point out to me where they are so that next time i dont spend half a day trying to figure out why i cant connect to peers..

cheers.
