btdownloadgui failed due to firewall
Hi, I failed to download by btdownloadgui --responsefile ***.torrent. Rarely it works and do necessary download very slowly. Most time it waits [ not exit with error]. I have simple firewall rule [ as per Rusty Russel ]. I found psad-alart says P2P BitTorrent communication attempt as classtype: policy-violation with iptables chain: INPUT (prefix Dropping:), 1 packets . It is good to get the download as *.iso file whereas in windows I download as *.daa with no problem. Help for solution. System is sid on x86_64.

What is solution The bittorrent protocol relies on being able to make incoming connections to the host running the client (there is no server/client distinction really - hence peer to peer). The default port used by bittorrent is 6881. You should allow incoming connections from all sources to this port. I'm not familiar with the Rusty Russell firewall rules, but you should look for an example of allowing incoming connections, probably along the lines of iptables -A INPUT -s -d ... -j ACCEPT. You can probably change the port, and you may which to use a range (for example 6881..6890) to allow multiple torrents running simultaneously.

Multiple ports are only necessary for running multiple clients (or instances of the same client); one client can run multiple torrents out of the same port.
