Bittorrent Newbie question:
In order to start using Bittorrent from scratch (yum), is this all I need to do:
# yum install bittorrent
followed by:
# btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 350 --url http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/tettnang-binary-i386-iso.torrent
I keep reading about "opening ports" but when I run redhat-config-securitylevel there are no port numbers there.
I've read the Bittorrent FAQ and I know which ports are wanted, but I do not see how to do this in FC1.
The file /etc/sysconfig/iptables warns me against manual configuration and asks me to look at redhat-config-securitylevel.
I s'pose I'm asking for some hand-holding, but I've got to admit I'm hesitant about experimenting with the security level (since I *know* that I don't know what I'm doing!).
Thanks, Clint
I may have figured it out: I tried it out using just the two commands above, and -- it took a few minutes to get fired up -- it's dl'ing now at what appears to be ~12Kb/sec, and uploads at around 15Kb/sec.
It looks like it's working.... but where are these 200Kb/sec downloads I keep reading about?
