[ale] Downlading Torrents In Fedora

[Kenneth Ratliff]

Yes, the RIAA hacked the installer so Fedora users can no longer  
download torrents. Switch to Ubuntu!

In all seriousness, what's the error from the tracker? Is this an  
install in a VM or did you overwrite your gentoo install, dual boot?

The most common reason for torrent failure is firewall/nat issues. If  
you're not using UPnP, check which ports your client is using and  
forward them. None of that's going to do any good if the tracker  
decides it doesn't like you, though. Some trackers are picky, up to  
and including which clients and which versions of which clients  
they're willing to accept.
