I don't know about the gentoo servers but alot of system/network |
| 17 |
admins I know complain about bittorrent because it requires a very |
| 18 |
large amount of ports to be open. |
| 19 |
This is especially frustrating if the admin of the machine is not the |
| 20 |
network admin and has to justify opening 10-100 ports to the world. |
| 21 |
Expect some resistence. |
