I see, what I expected to happen was after checking UPnP on the web
interface, it would ask the router to forward that port to it.
That did not happen.
AFAIK it isn't supposed to. The UPnP stuff is strictly for telling the
router which ports Ktorrent itself is going to use for BT traffic. As I
said, it has nothing to do with the Web interface.
