    Hey folks,

    Trying to get bit torrent forwarded to an internal WixXP box through
    iptables on a Linux router.

    My Linux box has eth0 (external nic connected directly to cable modem) and
    eth1 (internal nic connected to lan) firewall, masq and port forwarding
    are already set up and working (for other applications).

    Anyone know what ports... or sets of ports need to be forwarded to run the
    bit torrent client from the machine on the lan?

    I can run it and get connections but the actual downloads never seem to
    start and I get blocked ports that weren't on any list I've seen on any of
    the torrent sites I've looked up.
