What does check_port plugin do?

[jith45]

It says port 50,000 is not open. what is supposed to be listening on this port. Otherwise, everything is working. If it is related mys scgi port is configured to be 5,000 and it's listening on localhost. I don't think this needs to advertise itself to the world, does it?

Cheers

Checks that your rTorrent (not SCGI) port is open as set in your .rtorrent.rc
Make sure you are using the latest version of the check_port plugin as it was recently updated.

oh I get it now. Thank you.

Interestingly enough upgrading rTorrent fixed the indicator. I needed the latest version for dht support so that I can work with magnet links.
