The thread drifted into wireless configuration but I have noticed there is some odd behavior with rtorrent in OpenBSD 5.0.
I try to be a good netizen and conserve server resources when downloading *iso files and just used rtorrent successfully for NetBSD 5.1.2, FreeBSD and Arch linux. Rtorrent on the same box does not work for either the OpenBSD, PC-BSD, or Debian torrent sites. My best guess is that the non-working sites use multiple trackers while NetBSD uses a solitary tracker. Possibly the OpenBSD site may not be working although it does have up to date current torrents (he is looking for a new host). The Debian site does work in other torrent clients (transmission).

My rtorrent.rc configuration file is not anything exotic, just min and max peers are un-commented.

I also tried disabling packet filtration, I have the default installation configuration, but still was unable to get peers from the OpenBSD,PC-BSD or Debian site.

Code:
                 Trackers: [Key: 2f92c8d7]
Peer list       0: http://bttracker.debian.org:6969/announce
                   Id:  Focus:  no Enabled: yes Open:  no S/L: 0/1
Info            1: dht://
                   Id:  Focus:  no Enabled: yes Open:  no S/L: 0/0
Code:
                                                                           
                      *** OpenBSD ***
                 Trackers: [Key: 12a601d8]
Peer list       0: http://OpenBSD.somedomain.net/announce.php
                   Id: 2 Focus:  no Enabled: yes Open:  no S/L: 0/0
Anyone have any insight into this?
