Can someone point me to or fill me in on what's required in the way of firewall rules for torrent operation? I gather I can configure for a given listening port, and my existing outgoing rules should cover outgoing conversations. But it's unclear to me whether or not the protocol is statefull from inside the firewall (i.e. "ipfw ... setup keep-state" rules for outgoing packets would cover it), or whether the download ports need to be opened up because the a conversation may be initiated by an external peer. Thanks, Gary
