rTorrent floods SYN packets on start

For a reason that now escapes me, I became curious about the network traffic coming from my server. I installed iptraf-ng and to my surprise I found that my machine was sending out hundreds of SYN packets from random ports to random IP's and ports, as shown below. After a little investigating, I found that the culprit was rTorrent; as the below is what iptraf-ng captures immediately upon starting rTorrent. I did some searching around and haven't found anything really insightful. Does anyone know what this is? Is rTorrent attempting to reconnect to old peers? Is my rTorrent client infected and performing some sort of reconnaissance? Any insight into my dilemma is greatly appreciated.

Re: rTorrent floods SYN packets on start

Most likely dht doing it's thing. Have you enabled dht in .rtorrent.rc?

Re: rTorrent floods SYN packets on start

I actually had it set to 'dht = disable' but I've also tried the default, which is 'off'. So, neither stops it. Is that normal behavior for dht or a torrent client in general?

Re: rTorrent floods SYN packets on start

I just moved all .torrent files and session data and that "fixed the problem". I'm still curious as to whether or not this is normal, I have rTorrent running through a proxy (if that matters). So, if anyone has any insight into why it does this, I'd appreciate it. I'm going to go through the torrent files one by one later to find which one{,s} {is,are} doing this, but I have to be off at the moment.

Re: rTorrent floods SYN packets on start

Apparently resume also saves a list of peers, so maybe that is indeed the cause.

Re: rTorrent floods SYN packets on start

Wjhat it actually does is to do announce HTTP requests, within the limits set by your configuration. That involves establishing TCP connections, obviously.
