Bug Description
Bittorrent can't download more than one file simultaneously, trying to do results in the following error: (98, 'Address already in use').
From the comments below it seems like that's caused because each Bittorrent instance needs a different port, and the gconf setting "apps / gnome-btdownload / settings / max_port" has the same value as the min_port one (ie, it only allows it to use a single port).
Hi, I can confirm this bug; turns out that in the gconf settings for gnome-btdownload, the min_port and max_port are both set to 6881. If you change max_port to a higher number, the problem is solved.
