--Yes, IIRC Knoppix 2003-11-19 comes with bittorrent. You may have to open ports in your firewall for it tho. In my limited experience it has to run directly on the DSL-connected box, won't run over proxy.

--I've been running the client for months on my Squid box. If you have iptables running you have to set up some rules for it:



# Allow BitTorrent connections
# xxx 2003.1012 modified for only 3 ports (was 6881:6889)
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -i ppp0 --dport 6881:6883 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 -i ppp0 --dport 6969 -j ACCEPT
