I'm new to bittorrent. I'm using rtorrent to download
debian-506-i386-CD-1.iso. I set my firewall to forward TCP 6890-6999 to
my bittorrent machine, per my .rtorrent.rc file.

The best way to check that the ports are actually accessible from the
'net is to do an external port scan. You can do it yourself if you
have access to an external machine; if not, try an online portscanner,
e.g.:

http://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?rh1dkyd2

nmap from an outside machine shows port 6948 as the only port open in
the range of 6890-6999.

So far I've downloaded 485 MB and uploaded only 9 MB. Did I do
something wrong, or is that normal?

Can't know without details of this particular swarm; could be either.
If almost everyone else already has the thing, there won't be anyone to
upload to. Check how many peers there are in the swarm, and what are
their completion percentages.

Now, about 8 hours or so later, it shows I've uploaded 130 MB. So I
guess it's working. I was just surprised at the light upload rate.
