I don't know about the gentoo servers but alot of system/network
admins I know complain about bittorrent because it requires a very
large amount of ports to be open.
This is especially frustrating if the admin of the machine is not the
network admin and has to justify opening 10-100 ports to the world.
Expect some resistence.
