[nflug] bittorrent setup

[Joe]

I'm trying to use a torrent for the first time.  I am currently doing a
download using azureus (kubuntu feisty).  I also tried ktorrent.  Both
applications want me to set up a "tracker", but neither will tell me
exactly what it is or how to set it up.  I think it's a utility to help
share my download with others.

Howto?

Also, even though azureus seems to be working, it complained about a
port being closed (probably for sharing the downloaded file).  How do I
set that up?


TIA

Joe
