Re: Benefits of Lubuntu being official (was: Re: Ask Mark session )

 

The Bittorrent protocol has one downside, not being able to connect
simple users.
the reason for this is are "passive" connections, where the torrent
client is not directly accessible through a tcp port from the
internet.

active connections are those clients that did configure a port to be
addressable from the internet
often that requires to configure a port forward in your home router to
your machine.

you can make 'active - active' connections and 'active - passive' connections

client - port 51413 - internet - port 65530 - client
