I cannot download torrents anymore after switching to another ISP (Russia, yeah).
In the Trackers list I see the following:

Code: Select all
http://bt4.t-ru.org/ann Error: Could not connect to host localhost.


I have no idea why the "localhost" is there... But anyway, I reasoned it can be a problem with ISP who is probably blocking access to the tracker. So I decided to connect through a basic HTTP proxy which I ran as:

Code: Select all
$ ssh -L8080:127.0.0.1:8080 user@my-london-debian-box


and then configured it in the KTorrent settings. But it didn't work anyway and now I'm getting:

Code: Select all
http://bt4.t-ru.org/ann Error: Invalid data from tracker.


So what does that mean, are there some logs? Why I cannot see any additional information?
