Hi, I get this message in the console all the time:

What this looks like to me is that your firewall is outputting to your console. The video driver you use will not be relevant. I may be wrong, but isn't port 6881 a port commonly used by the bittorrent protocol?

Yes, per the man page for btdownloadcurses.bittorrent:

  --minport portnum
      set portnum as the minimum port to listen on, counts up if
      unavailable (default 6881)

  --maxport portnum
      set portnum as the maximum port to listen on (default 6889)

This is since i installed fglrx-driver.
I removed it, but its the same.
What should i do?

P.S. Tried "ifconfig eth0 down" and when it's down the message stops.

Regards,

That makes sense, as your firewall has nothing to block when your network interface is down.
