Most trackers are unfortunately configured to ignore that parameter and just use the address that you connect to the tracker with. See the bttrack man page under the --only_local_override_ip option. > Also with "netstat -naptu|grep python" i see, that bittornado use the whrong > address. Do you mean by this that bittornado does not use the IP address you specified in the --bind option? My experience is that it does use the --bind option's address to listen for connections from remote peers. However, when starting new connections itself to other peers (and the tracker) it uses the default address. There is a fix for this behavior on the BitTornado forums that I was thinking of adding: http://forums.degreez.net/viewtopic.php?t=7201 Let me know if you think that would solve your problem, and if you are willing and able to test a new package with the fix included.
