Part 2: Running Azureus
To make Azureus run smoothly on Breezy u need to make sure that the ports which are used by the torrents are open for file sharing. There are several ways to do this but the easiest way is the following:
first install firestarter (a GUI frontend to iptables firewall)
Code:
sudo apt-get install firestarter
now start firestarter from applications--> system tools
Remember that firestarter runs with sudo. To make firestarter run everytime when u log into GNOME, just add gksudo firestarter to System --> Preferences --> Sessions ---> Startup Programs.
alright now that firestarter is up, make sure its configured (first run) and go to edit -->preferences on the firestarter main window and in the Interfaces section check "Minimize to tray on window close".
now save and close the preferences window and look for the three tabs on the firestarter window, namely:Status , Events , Policy
Click on the Policy tab.
Click on the white space just below Allow Service | Port | For. This will activate ADD Rule at the top with a big blue PLUS sign. Click on that and choose the name of the service as bittorrent and the port for that service as 6881.
when u are done, click on Add and u are all set!!!
now start azureus and enjoy!!
U might want to remove this rule once u are done seeding or downloading.
