My guess is that rtorrent bailed out for that reason. I did not get an error message though, it looked like a clean exit (immediately after the "DHT isn't working"-message).

Yes, I have been eyeing upstream for a while, but (from the outside) it seems that Yari is too busy to maintain his project. > As a temporary measure, I can remove the IPv6 patch (meaning no IPv6 > right now) or I can keep it (and have problems with DHT). Neither is appealing to me, which is why I did not suggest a solution in my mail :) > What would be the preferred short-term way? The preferred short-term way would probably be to keep the situation as-is, i.e. with working IPv6 but broken DHT (I can keep rebuilding my own packages for as long as needed ;). It might be a good idea, however, to not let the current version migrate to testing with broken DHT support. > <disappointment mode="on"/> Ah well, such is the fate of many a good project. Luckily, with open source at least others have the ability to pick up the pieces and run with it. I would be happy to test patches, but I haven't done any coding for IPv6 and I don't have enough spare time to dive into rtorrent code.
