- Is configuring port forwarding insurmountable for you?
It was always too much to ask the user to set up a port forwarding. Try asking your non-technical friends or family. You'll see. Alternatively search for RetroShare, emule, filesharing port forwarding and see how many people having trouble.
There are also cases, where it is impossible to set up a port forwarding. Such cases include for example 3G networks, WiFi hotspots or all other networks where the admin won't do it for you.
I think dropping the requirement for a port forwarding is crucial to let any non-geek users profit from it. Or wait for IPv6 and such problems will vanish?
