TMTYD commented 1 year ago

Hi why does rtorrent use tcp6 (ipv6) exclusively and not tcp(ipv4), i disabled ipv6 on my sever. How can I instruct rtorrent to use tcp again? CMu4HZC4Jy

For various reasons, it's often easier for the kernel to create an IPv6 socket that translates IPv4 data for the application. This is not specific to rTorrent, and in no way means that it's only using IPv6. You can use something like telnet or netcat to prove it for yourself if you wish.

telnet 127.0.0.1 5000
