I'm not sure about Deluge, but <http://divmod.org/trac/wiki/DivmodVertex> does some NAT hole-punching. It does it via sending UDP packets though, not by communicating directly with your router. Good luck; this is always an interesting problem ;). -glyph _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
