+
+ Port Forwarding
+
+ It is VERY important that Apt-P2P's ports be reachable by other peers.
+ This is needed both to share files with others, and to connect to
+ others through the DHT to find peers for files. If you aren't
+ accessible by others, you will not only not share anything, but your
+ performance during downloading will be affected.
+
+ Apt-P2P uses a default port of 9977, over both TCP and UDP, for it's
+ communication. You can change this port in the
+ /etc/apt-p2p/apt-p2p.conf file, and use different ports for TCP and
+ UDP, if desired. Whatever port you use, make sure to forward it
+ through your NAT or firewall to improve your performance and share
+ with others. More information on port forwarding can be found here:
