Well, this didn't happen where to me, as I could download the new live image that Gentoo just released and everything was fine with me, but: * I got the message that DHT wasn't working. * Even though I am in an IPv4-only network, I saw, via lsof -i, that I only had IPv6 connections being listened on, which is somewhat strange. Anyway, what would you suggest in the mean time since upstream actually supports IPv6? The patches that I grabbed from upstream's site are Steinar's (and I included him here in the CC). 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). What would be the preferred short-term way? <disappointment mode="on"> I can't help but comment here the sad state that rtorrent/libtorrent seem to be in. If you look at their Bug/Ticket tracker, you will see that they have a good amount of spam marked as bugs of very high priority. [1] [1] http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/report/1 I didn't see any way to anonymously close those tickets (even though some people have anonymously filed them). They have not, IMVHO, maintained the role as a best-in-class torrent client (but it still has some cool tricks). Here is a place where I see that working with a system like git would help... :-( </disappointment> Regards, -- Rogério Brito : rbrito@{ime.usp.br,gmail.com} : GPG key 4096R/BCFCAAAA http://rb.doesntexist.org : Packages for LaTeX : algorithms.berlios.de DebianQA: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=rbrito%40ime.usp.br -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
