You might get a more accurate count of BitTorrent connections with: netstat -an | grep ^tcp\ | grep ":"[6][8,9][0-9][0-9] | grep -c -v LISTEN Your command line merely shows all TCP connections that are in any state but LISTEN. This should count only connections on TCP 6881-6999, either inbound or out. AIUI, this is the port range used by the BitTorrent clients. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
