Hi, I've been trying to setup ed2k (edonkey) without much success. I should say that the program does work, but is unbelievably slow - I'm trying to download some 300 Mb files and after about a week, only between 5 to 20 Mb of each file have arrived. I assume my problem is related to the FW. Note the 8th line in the status report included below. I've tryied "playing" with iptables to allow port 4662, but am obviously doing something wrong. I do know that the fact that edonkey claims the firewall is blocking sharing does noot always mean that is the case. But, I tested my firewall on ShieldsUp (http://www.grc.com/default.htm) and 4662 does show up as **stealth**. In fact, the strange thing is that even if I disable my firewall completely, I get the saame result (in ed2k AND in ShieldsUp).
My system is MDK10.1 with all updated packages (except for original kernel - never updated) and I'm running iptables.
