torrent & ports

[ros]

Could someone please help...
I installed torrent, but there's no transfer.
current_error.log says:

Failed to transfer URL: could not connect (7)
Failed to transfer URL for reason 7 (see curl.h)

I opened incoming ports and defined a virtual server, but no luck...

[oleo]

look into /opt/etc/torrent.conf for TCP port range to open.

[ros]

this is the relevant part of torrent.conf:

# btget port range environment
BTLIB_MINPORT=56881
export BTLIB_MINPORT
BTLIB_MAXPORT=56889
export BTLIB_MAXPORT
#time between logs
LOG_TIME=59

this is my post-firewall:
#!/bin/sh
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn --dport 56881:56889 -j ACCEPT

and virtual server setting is:
port range 56881:56889
local ip <LAN ip of the router>
protocol TCP
other fields are empty.

what could be wrong?

You do not need post-firewall script to forward ports.

I suggest that you try to enable stupid-ftpd server and try accessing ftp server from inernet. If this work, continue with torrent ports.

I tryed it with port 22, ssh. It works fine.
And port 56881 is scanned as open from outside.
But I get those error messages again and again.

Try netstat -ln to see

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:56881           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:56882           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:56883           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:56884           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:56885           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:56886           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:56887           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

when 7 torrent commands are issued.

Or enter ". /opt/etc/torrent.conf" (dot, space, /opt/etc/torrent.conf) and then issue btget something.torrent to see whats up.

It works now.
I removed --syn parameter from iptables and added entry for open ports towards LAN interface.
Thanks.
