NAT and DB connections appear fine, but well seeded torrents will not start

It appears that Azureus is dependant on Sun's implementation of Java and will not work with the preinstalled Java on FC4.

Word is that the 1.4.2 GCJ is being re-written as we speak.

In the meantime, to work-around it, you should install the SUN Java runtime. Here is a link to the J2SE 6 Installation Notes

It has been noted that fellow fedorians have had issues with installing the J2SE Runtime via RPM and it is advisable to install via the self-extracting binary file.

Once installed there is one step left: Delete the link /usr/bin/java (renaming works too) and create a new one pointing to your new java installation. Example:

ln -s /opt/jdk1.6.0/bin/java /usr/bin
