FC-1 firewall script for bittorrent

[D. D. Brierton]

I'd love it if someone could explain this to me: bittorrent works fine
for me on FC2, and it did on FC1 and RHL9, and I've always used
redhat|system-config-securitylevel and have never added any extra
workarounds to open up ports 6881-6889. So how come bittorrent works at
all? Admittedly I don't always get the greatest download speeds with it,
but I thought that was more to do with slow seeders, or too many
leachers and not enough seeders or something. I certainly have on
occasion got download speeds that have maxed out my DSL connection.

Relatedly, as you both appear to be using system-config-securitylevel,
how did you add the extra rules for ports 6881-6889?

TIA.

Best, Darren
