My experience is KTorrent is broken. I would sugest you use a different one. I prefer Azureus.
I could not get it to work with ktorrent but it works with the BitTorrent client.

It works when I do a download with the BitTorren (uses KTorrent) in the 10.0 boxed version, but it is so slow. I found wget to be 10x faster. I stopped BitTorrent then and used wget. I thought there is a way to put the finished iso's on a torrent seed that was downloaded with wget. Today 08:39 CET the link to opensuse's download site (http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/iso/) does not respond eagerly. That is why I want to seed but can't find a way to do it using my complete downloaded iso's. I tried this method. I copied all the completed ISO's to the cache of KTorrent /home/<user>/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor0/cache for the one and ...tor1/cache etc. for the others (created when the torrent downloads from the download site was entered). I restarted KTorrent and went to the "Downloads" in the top window, and highlighted one download in the "File" column. Then I switched from the "Status" to the "Files" in the bottom section with a click on the "Files" tag. I un-marked the check-boxes of all the iso's, which changed its "Download" column to "No". Now it says in the "Downloads" windows above the Status as Seeding (Time Left = Finished, % Complete = 100%). The "Speed up:" in the status bar shows activity and the "down:" no activity. I take it that it is seeding now!? Hope so ...Share ratio is on 11,61 and increasing. Happy leaching Y'all. :-) Al
