With so many connections, it might not even be noticable. -Ray-

Currently, my client is the only one using bittorrent behind the router. I have this in /etc/pf.conf: rdr pass on $ext_if proto tcp to port 6881:6889 -> 192.168.0.3 port 6881:6889 What do I do if other people on the subnet wanted to use the same ports (6881:6889) to use bittorrent (clients other than 192.168.0.3)? Thanks. Sorry, no can do. The other clients would have to use a BT-client where they can specify the port(s) to use and forward those to the right one. -- Erik Wikstrvm

Have them use a different range. ddp
