I would like to be able to fully participate in Torrents for downloading |
2 |
ISO, such as the Gentoo ISOs. However, since my gentoo/iptables firewall |
3 |
currently is not forwarding any ports to my client systems, so I appear |
4 |
as a torrent leech - I'd like to try to change that. |
5 |
|
6 |
I'm using kTorrent under Gentoo/KDE, which supports interfacing via UPNP |
7 |
to enable specific forwarding, which I would like to try to take |
8 |
advantage of for security reasons. |

I noticed the URL above on how to do UPNP via linux-igd, but I'm not |
13 |
sure that's what I want. I searched emerge for UPNP and saw a number of |
14 |
packages in the list. I was wondering if anyone here has had any |
15 |
experience (good/bad/otherwise) on setting up a Gentoo-based ipTables |
16 |
Firewall for UPNP, or what packages people might recommend for it. |

18 |
While I am mostly concerned with having kTorrent work on my Gentoo |
19 |
Desktop, I might also be interested in using BitTorrent on a Win2k |
20 |
Laptop too - I don't know if it supports UPnP or not (possible), but if |
21 |
it was easy to support, I might be inclined to. (If not, no big loss.) |
22 |
So I'd welcome thoughts on that as well towards the above questions. |

TIA, |
