Loaded upnpplugin in Ktorrent. Do a rescan, it shows nothing, its as if it does not even do anything.
Guess I am just stuck with a buggy ktorrent.
Buggy? Have you updated to the latest version? The only version I had any issues with was the original one off the DVD. And... don't assume that just because it is slow that it is buggy. There are a million factors that can influence. You said you were in Taiwan, and that local speeds were fine, but outside of Taiwan, you got much slower downloads... it could be a simple matter of the ISP doing traffic shaping and limiting BitTorrent traffic. A lot of ISPs do that.
C. Finally got Suse 10.3 installed and tried the latest ktorrent there. It was about twice as fast as on they other machine with 10.2. Tried another router, no improvement. Upgraded the 10.2 ktorrent from 2.0 to 2.2, the same as in 10.3, it now matches the 10.3 installation. It gets up to 70 kB/sec with an average of about 40 kB/Sec.
I never downloaded anything via ktorrent from Taiwan, the figures I stated earlier with http downloads from Firefox. Connection is 8 Mb/sec rated. Taiwan has too small of a pipe to the outside world. Early in the morning it is pretty good, but in the late afternoon or evening it is not so great. It is better that it was about a year ago though.
