I tried to setup ktorrent under SUSE10.2 to download the SUSE11.0 developer
alpha version. Followed the steps on http://software.opensuse.org/developer.
Ktorrent keeps reporting authorization failure on the ip addresses. Is there
something else I need to setup?
Where does it report it and what does it say ?
What version of KTorrent? Are you behind a firewall? Are you behind
a proxy? Have you set up port forwarding in your router and/or
firewall for the ports that KTorrent uses? (the defaults are 6881 and
UDP 4444)
Not that it helps, but I have _never_ been able to get ktorrent to
download anything! I've tried too.
I use KTorrent all the time to download openSUSE images amongst other
things. It is my favorite torrent management application. I always
get great download rates and almost instant tracker connections...
especially for openSUSE iso downloads. The key for me has always been
to install the latest version (especially if you are trying to use the
old versions provided with the 10.1 or 10.2 DVDs) and forward the two
ports in my router and firewalls. As soon as that is done, it works
perfectly. (Azureus also works perfectly as long as I set up port
forwarding correctly)
You are basically right, but since some time some ISPs,
especially in the USA but elsewhere too,
block the default ports of filesharing application,
and many also stifle or block their traffic entirely.
So choosing different ports can help, using encryption too
(KTorrent:Settings:General), and often: changing your ISP.
Kind regards Philippe
