As you have no doubt already determined, its a Windoze program, but the 
problem I was originally trying to resolve occurred in Linux--I only 
tried this after I couldn't get any further with the error messages 
generated by Debian-Azureus.

Anyhow, in my utter ignorance, I had not realized, that at least as far 
as Bittorrent clients like Ktorrent and Azareus are concerned, 
apparently a "switching hub" is understood to be the same thing as a 
"router." After I removed my switching hub, the torrents began to come 
through again.

What mystifies me, is why everything had been working pretty well for 
almost a year, and then suddenly the switching hub suddenly became 
impassible. Well, it works now, and I learned a few things.

Thanks,

Chuck
