Many ISP's have recently begun to actively seek out and stop torrents from seeding, legal or otherwise. The most notorious offender is Comcast, who blocks torrents by sending a Terminate signal to one of the clients; these packets tell the Bit Torrent client to close the connection.<br />
<br />
In the interest of being able to share legal media, such as linux iso's, you may add the following to your IP tables to have these malicious packets dropped:<br />
<br />
<pre>iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport <YOUR TORRENT PORT> --tcp-flags RST RST -j DROP</pre><br />
