And I just went after the latest BitTorrent 4.0.something and installed that. Digging thru the docs, the first thing I need to do is start a 'tracker', but that fails with an error message that I don't quite grok:
[root@gene /]# bttrack.py --port 6969 --dfile dstate
Traceback (innermost last):

Now what? There isn't any such module in the python-2.3/site-packages/BittTorrent subdir, and no such file exists in the archive either.
That's strange because I've got one:
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/BitTorrent/track.py BitTorrent-4.0.1-1.fc3
RPM from http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/bittorrent/

Well, I think if you want to serve files then you need a tracker, so you should to open the port 6969 on the iptables and on the modem. Otherwise, if you want to share with others a file you're downloading by BT from someone, then you should open the port's range 6881 to 6999 (or less) on the iptables and on the modem.
IHTH again, Vinicius.
