More background: My 'local network' at the moment is just ONE laptop ... :gsmile: ...

Sounds like you're attempting to activate the DMZ function, which forwards all incoming traffic not matching any rules to a single host in your local network.
EXACTLY !!! ... to be more specific ... everything is sent to aaa-bbb-ccc-10 [my laptop]
It's been like this for five days ... the diference is, as previously stated, internet interaction feels a bit 'crispier' than before ...
My laptop firewall, of course, is ON ... with the previously mentioned exception rules (besides those from 'Amule') ...
If you think it's NOT a good idea ... I can turn it OFF ... as it were at the beginning ...
I haven't modify DHCP range YET ... it would work since my ONLY 'local network' is just me ... ... I will wait because you have given me another promising cue [I'll talk about it later on] ...
In case I would want to configure a static lease for my laptop ... I would use the MAC address 'ifconfig -a' have given me. But I won't touch this neither ... yet ... :gcool:

Protocol encryption. If forced, unencrypted incoming connections are dropped, and it's up to that peer to realize this, enable it for you and try again. This will not necessarily occur in reverse as they may accept encryption while never initiating it (thus leading to the behavior you have experienced).
This looks like BINGO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :balloons:
shit !!!! ... it seems like FAKE 'BINGO' ... when I double check the setup ... 'Use ciphered protocol' is ON [to avoid ISP throttling] ... BUT ... 'Allow UN-CIPHERED connections' is also ON ... ... so it won't be this ... :gfrown:

Maximum connection and upload slot limits. These will be reached easily if set too low, and can result on missed uploading opportunities. With FiOS, you can afford to be generous, so do
I don't know what FiOS stands for ... I will assume you mean 'fiber' :snitti: ...
'Max connections per torrent: 220'
'Global limit of connections: 1900' [for all torrents]
'DSCP value for IP packages: 0'
'Max number of connection configurations: 500' ... the tooltip says 'max number of OUTGOING simultaneous connections for KTorrent'
The upload and download speed limits are both set to pretty high ...
'Queue Manager' is OFF.
'Upload slot number: 24'
The remaining parameters seem '''reasonable''' enough ...

Maximum connection attempts per second and half-open connections limit. These do not apply to incoming traffic, but should still be tuned.
I CAN'T find anything similar to these on my configuration parameters ...
Summary:
- I will switch OFF the 'DMZ function'
- I will WAIT to configure any kind of static MAC leasing for my laptop [neither modify the DHCP range]
- I will FOCUS on downloading on to my main SSD drive [I already always do it that way ... but as soon as the download finishes, I then move everything to an external HDD , check data integrity and start seeding]. So, from now on, as soon as 'something' interesting comes up on HD-T ... I will download it ... and I will KEEP it on the main drive ... Then several days analizing the behaviour of these new items ...
Right now ... everything points to the external HDDs. Maybe ... maybe ... a leecher tries to connect, the external HDD is somewhat on 'SLEEP mode' ... and after several micro-seconds the leecher interprets some kind of 'TIMEOUT' ... so it doesn't connect. On the other hand, if ... by any chance the external HDD is in 'ACTIVE mode', it will then behaves as normaly 'connectable' ... so this might be the complex casuistry that we are facing ...
'Anon' ... thank you very, very much again ... :yup:
