TorrentFlux - Stuck on "Connecting to peers..."

general

Hi,

So recently I decided to install TorrentFlux on my Linode box and on my first attempt I was successfully able to torrent and download what I wanted to get.

However, any other attempts after that I was unable to.

It just seems to remain on "Connecting to peers…"

Does anyone know a fix to this at all? I would really appreciate your help.

I'm checking my firewall settings as I write this.

ermm. Running torrentflux on linode is not a good idea unless you are using it to download and seed legal stuff. However I dont know if they even permit to use torrents for legal stuff.

However before doing this you may review TOS or log a support ticket asking if linode is okay with this or not!

Considering the ToS basically says "Don't break the law, and don't hurt the performance of other customers", I don't see how this would violate it.
