ktorrent not working [SOLVED]

[davidlondon]

Hi all,

I recently did a clean install of kubuntu hardy, having created a new /home partition for data.

I have never had a problem with ktorrent, never had to forward ports-just set the right ports in guarddog firewall for port,tracker & dht and it just worked.

Now all I get-from the log- is:

authentication to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx : failure
timed out

Any ideas?

ANSWER: Having turned off guarddog firewall ktorrent worked. Checked and rechecked guarddog setting could not see a problem-so ditched guarddog for ipkungfu firewall and ktorrent is working again.

Re: ktorrent not working

I think that means the tracker's down. Try different torrents that use different trackers, I bet you'll only find this problem with some of them.
