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!

Hi Jason, I was going to checkout Ktorrent for you, but I always install guarddog with k torrent and guarddog is not installable, it depends on kdelibs4c2a-4:3.5.10 and kdelibs-data-4:3.5.10, so unless a guarddog package is built for trinity I can't install ktorrent for 10.10.
I was able to install guarddog and ktorrent on trinity ubuntu 10.04 LTS and I was able to get torrents to start.
Thanks Jimmy,
I actually tried a torrent that wasn't using the same tracker as the ones that weren't working in any client, and that one downloaded fine. It seems that the tracker I was using yesterday was malfunctioning - I tested the same torrent in a different OS with the same failed results. So, my apologies. :) Thanks for getting back to me.
