I couldn't really get the chance to test it as I do not know how.

So I was wondering, this feature,

Quote
IP/Hostname to report to tracker:​


Does it report the IP that it's connected? Like say I'm using 192.161.0.1 as my main IP, would it report to the tracker I'm using 98.765.43.201?

this is for people behind a router, or running in a NAT'd jail.

if your outgoing ip is something, but the bind ip is 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 or 192.168.0.0/16 then you can report your real ip.



of course this will still require port forwarding to be effective

So let's say I have 1 Real Ip eth0 and another virtual eth0:0, how can I make rTorrent to report eth0:0 to the tracker?
