Well, now I'm seeing rates around 600kBps. I'm not entirely
sure what all really effects it, but some A/B testing leads to the
following surmises:
A website on using BitTorrent with linux had suggested setting
max_upload_rate to 48 and max_uploads to -1. This apparently hurts.
20 and 4 seem to be good values.
I had naively assumed that if I was getting upload rate at
all, then the download machine firewall was letting the connects
through. Forgive me, I just wasn't awake. I added bittorrent to
/etc/services for both tcp and udp on 6881 through 6889, and used
Fedora's system-config-securitylevel to turn bittorrent:tcp and
bittorrent:udp on in the firewall.
I guess that I need to read about the bittorrent protocol in
more depth in order to understand why it was working at all. I'm not
sure that I can develop the interest to do so.
Thanks to everyone for all of the helpful suggestions and
testing.
Bill
