J Random Nastyguy gets caught and reported on my net. Like the .kr I
nailed tonight trying to ssh2 in. It would be easier to just block the
whole of the far east, and I may do that someday soon.

It's sure tempting. I've already got fairly hard email blocks against
most of the far east. For a couple of my domains, I've even
programmed by DNS servers not to respond to queries from those
areas... just too darned much spam.

Well no matter, I'll live without it. Sounded good though.

I've turned off the NAT-check filter, and noticed that the number of
downloaders jumped up suddenly from 2 to 4. You might want to give it
another try and see if it works this time. My tracker may have
"noticed" that you were behind a NAT, and decided to snub you...
that won't happen now.

Another thing to check, is to see what happens to *outbound*
connections from your system, to port 6881 on other peoples' systems.
I can see that my own downloader (which has a complete copy) initiated
an outbound connection from its port 2723 to someone else's 6881. It's
conceivable that your downloader tried to "connect out" to someone
else's 6881, did so from a dynamically-assigned port number, and that
your firewall rules are blocking the SYN/ACK connection responses back
from the other downloader's 6881.

If that still won't work, then you might want to check at
http://www.r-bonomi.com/radio/ - you can probably get a copy via HTTP
from there.
