Torrents are stalled in all torrent clients

Hi everyone, Really excited about the continued development of KDE 3.5 but I have to say it is really hard to find information on the KDE 3 environment since most of KDE 4's apps have the same names... Anyway, I'm using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.10 (Trinity of course) and having issues getting torrents to run in Ktorrent (both the KDE 3 and KDE 4 versions). I have forwarded the ports in my router and also have UPnP running on the router and in Ktorrent. UPnP appears to work in Transmission as well, but the torrents remain stalled. I haven't gotten a single torrent past 0.00%. I'm really bummed because I use torrents all the time and I want to use KDE 3.5 so badly... has anyone else resolved/had this issue? Thanks for your assistance! Jason
