 hello shatam,

               Its a better move to use bittornado-gui
to fire it up use  /usr/bin/btdownloadgui
All so you need to open a small port range say 1000 to 1005 on the router and 
port forward this to the box with the bittornado on it. The box that runs 
your bittornado client need to be on a stactic ip so the the port forwarding 
get the right ip. The bittornado client needs its port range setting to the 
same you setup on the router.
