No problem Serge, hope you didnt take it the wrong way... my sarcasm is mostly to let you realise I'm a bit of a linux newbie. Everything else i ported were static versions so im not used to having to reapply maemo-fixes to living source tree (while targeting different sources)... i have newfound respect the level of effort that must go into projects such as mplayer.

I'm learning about the methods he uses (notably NAT-PMP and PEX) and how that might affect routers in the different source versions he has been releasing lately. I am also learning about epoll in linux and how that comes into play.

NAT-PMP might have issues with router compatibility (or conflict with existing port forwarding configuration) and PEX might drastically increase the number of 'peer' communications which could affect epoll.

So far the only issue (kind of a big one though) i have is that occasionally my network connection seems to get zapped and no traffic can get in or out of n800. I need to disconnect and reconnect to network to restore communications. I have other wifi issues though and also just realized my port forwarding was wrong (and possibly conflicted with NAT-PMP)... so im still testing.

I'd appreciate any feedback from users about any issues they are encountering, otherwise i'm just making the best build for me, my router, and my configuration (although that works for me )

Thanks again Serge, hopefully my spare time maemo development will get more structured soon although i am very hijack-friendly if others want to take it somewhere else No real agenda here other than getting the best bittorent client i can on my own devices.

BTW latest mplayer really looks great, not sure how long its been in there but the on screen menu looks great. Very helpful for opening new files received after gmplauncher has done a scan.
