rtorrent does not download

[onewiki]

I've installed rtorrent, everything goes well and then I started it:
"rtorrent -n -o import=/opt/etc/rtorrent.conf"

It loads the torrent but never downloads anything. Always 0.0 everything, except that the file size is correct.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Did you test if the port through the firewall is open?

[onewiki]

Just checked. It is actually open, that is, port 51779.

[avberk]

do you have all dependencies installed?

e.g.

libtorrent, libsigc++, ncursesw, ncurses, libcurl


maybe try another torrent first.

without these packages, rtorrent wouldn't even be able to run. So they are not the issue. I certainly have tried multiple torrents, but thanks for reply.

I figured it out. Of course it is due to my stupid mistake. I didn't do two things:
1. make post-firewall executable
2. put #!/bin/sh at the beginning of the script.

So a brief addendum to the following tutorial:
http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=16416&page=2

do two things:
1.
$ nano /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall

#!/bin/sh
# set default policy
iptables -P INPUT DROP
# remove last default rule
iptables -D INPUT -j DROP

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 51777:51780 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 6881 -j ACCEPT

# Restablishing INPUT chain policy
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP

2.
$ chmod +x /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall
