Thanks, that solved my problem. I also configured the file locations
before I loaded the torrent, so it now does what I actually need. I think.
It took an hour or more for it to recognize tracker.opensuse.org. Now
ktorrent says there are 3644 leechers, and I have only one constantly
connected, who is not downloading any chunks. Occasionally I get a
spurt of connections, 5 -- 10 at a time, who almost immediately
disconnect after downloading a few chunks. In the past 4 hours I've
seeded 9.4M over my 10+Mbps connection.
So I'm trying to contribute, but no one is accepting anything from me.
Am I understanding the display correctly? Why would my available service
not be used? Do I have some other problem?
