This patch enables a rare situation in the original BitTorrent client:

Having both the tracker and a seed on the same NAT'ed machine which also is on a dial-up (this includes most DSL connection... well, mostly anyone out there).

The --ip parameter of the btdownload*.py commands only accepts ip-addresses.

With this patch it also accepts hostnames.

All you have to then is to setup a dyndns hostname if you haven't done so and use it like this:

 

btloanchmanycurses.py . --ip example.dyndns.org
