hello.
i'm currently using bittorrent-EXPERIMENTAL-UNOFFICIAL-3.2-1.exe to 
d/l the files. although,i'm behind a firewall,i can connect to peers 
and thus starting the d/l. BUT,recently about 3-4 days ago, it 
suddenly cannot connect to peer and displayed an error message..." 
Problem connecting to tracker-(10071,'to many levels of remote in 
path"......
What this means? Are the 'remote' referring to the firewall..? i'm 
currently running the BT from T1 using Unix Server....and my machine 
is equipped with winME and 1.8ghz P4....

thanks.
