Well, it could be some firewall problem? how do you connect to the internet?
I recently downloaded a torrent so it's not a dapper problem.

About Azureus, I've had some trouble with azureus from the repos too,
but when I downloaded from the azureus website an ran it form my home
dir it runs fine.

Well Tez,
I connect via a 1500 DHCP broadband, and disabled the firewall, so that was not the problem with Ktorrent, just too few peers and most of them snubbed.
Tried another torrent with many more peers, and still a lot of snubs but much faster download achieved.
I think the snubbing is an issue, as it was acknowledged on the Ktorrent forum.

By the way, may I ask how did you get Azureus to work from the website, did you make an ubuntu package first? or just use the binary?

Anyway the Azureus ? from the universe repo. is probably a bad package.
And what about Bittorrent not even appearing and refusing to run from root terminal or "run"command.
Best 
Rod
