Does anyone have the web interface working for KTorrent when forwarded by UPnP?

Late in responding as I've been travelling, but (exactly for that reason) I left Ktorrent running and opened my firewall to the web interface so I could control it from afar. I have to say it worked really well, except for suddenly not responding in the last couple of days (which appears to have been related to a plasma crash since the machine didn't lose connectivity).
I have UPnP turned on so it can agree with the router on what ports to open. Is that what you're asking about?

I was asking specifically about the web interface... did you have to open up a port on your router/firewall to the ktorrent machine for it's web interface? Or did you check the box to let UPnP handle that?

I checked the box in the Ktorrent Settings dialogue (this has nothing to do with the web interface, it's just for normal BT use).
I don't normally run web services on this machine so I also used system-config-firewall to open a specific TCP port, and configured that same port in the router (a Belkin) to allow HTTP in. This means specificing that port instead of 80 when browsing from the Web of course. I also set a strong password.

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.
