    I also work with BitTorrent but without opening a port with the Livebox. You go to View>Preferences>Network, it gives you the number to enter.

    You double-click on the Livebox icon on the desktop, you access the ADSL configuration, there you enter admin as the username and admin as the password, you click on configuration>advanced>router>you add and enter bittorrent the port numbers for bittorrent, don't forget to submit to the Livebox gateway @+

    I opened two ports in the Livebox and it's better.

    It may be better, but know that you are much more vulnerable to viruses.
    I also tried the experiment with my Livebox, and realizing that I was receiving an attack every 5 minutes, I immediately closed the ports.
    In fact, you should rather invest in a good antivirus, otherwise your PC won't last more than a few days (I admit that would be unfortunate anyway). It can also depend on the speed of your connection, and of course you need to allocate at least 80-90% of your bandwidth (it will slow down if you want to go online, but otherwise you won't download much).
    I had downloaded BitTorrent DNA (it seems to allow for faster downloads), but from what I've seen, some internet users consider it spyware.

    Basically, to download well you need:
    - a good internet connection (ADSL preferably with at least 1Mb/s)
    - to allocate a good part of the bandwidth
    - to know how to adjust the BitTorrent software (no matter which one you have)
    - not to forget a good antivirus (to “disinfect” suspicious files, avoid Norton of course...)
    - also, but for storage, prefer a hard drive (I suppose you already have one), because obviously if you download multiple files at the same time, you will quickly run out of space.

      Yes, of course we can use it, but it's called Ktorrent
      You do $sudo apt-get install ktorrent and you enter your password and there you go, you'll see it in networks, where Konqueror is.
