Yeah, I found that too... it looks quite interesting, but as you say, it is UDP-based. I know that there is a working TCP-solution. As I said, Deluge does it, and for example, the original Bittorrent client does it too.
Maybe it uses UPNP to tell the router which ports to open? As far as I know, there are no hole-punching techniques for TCP like there are for UDP. So the only way to get a port forward is to configure the router, manually or through an API like UPNP. Bye, Maarten
