    Bit torrent and firewalls

    Hi I'm not having much luck with this elsewhere, so i'm glad I spotted this seperate forum.

    Anyway, I have been trying to use b++ with http tunnel. It didn't seem to work, but i can't be sure. Is there a way of checking the connection is working? Or am I in vain here? or am I setting B++ up wrong? any help would be appreciated...

    If i remember correctly httptunnel provides a local socks proxy.

    Acording to Brian's bittorrent FAQ you need to use sockscap to get bittorrent to use a socks proxy, are you doing that?

    Ahh, thanks for that post, i think i see the problem. I might try to use socks cap 32 like Briand suggested (dead good link btw), problem according to the post is each file requires a different command. Hopefully if I set it up right i'll ge some joy, but I have always had difficulty with sockscap
