    Greetings.

    I have gShield firewall script from muse.linuxmafia.org running on my
    server. I'm having a hard time getting the port forwarding for the
    Bittorrent client working on my workstation.

    Is anyone running a similar setup that can assist me with the custom
    rules and forwarding? I've tried to open up and enable forwarding on
    ports 6881:6889 to my workstation computer, but Azureus still complains
    of a NAT error when I'm trying to pull torrents down. It somewhat works,
    but I'm told that I can get better performance with this opened up. I'm
    trying to download FC Test 1 and get slow download speeds. It was quite
    slow getting core2 a while back, but I kinda waited it out.

    Thanks.
