Deluge not seeding

[Jonny007-MKD]

Hello,

I know that there are hundres of topics on the internet with this subject. But although I have read almost all posts in there I haven't found the solution for my problem.

I have Deluge installed on my RasPi. It can download torrents, it seed torrents while the download is in progress and everything is fine.
But as soon as the torrent goes to "Seeding" state I cannot seed anymore.

I have configured Deluge to use the ports 56881-56891, created iptables rules for those as well as port forwarding rules on my router.

Code: Select all

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
num   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out  source     destination
1        6   468 ACCEPT     tcp  --  *      *    0.0.0.0/0  192.168.7.18 tcp dpt:22
2        0     0 ACCEPT     tcp  --  *      *    127.0.0.1  192.168.7.18
3        0     0 ACCEPT     tcp  --  *      *    127.0.0.1  192.168.7.18
5        5  1205 ACCEPT     tcp  --  *      *    0.0.0.0/0  192.168.7.18 tcp dpts:56881:56891
6        3   406 ACCEPT     udp  --  *      *    0.0.0.0/0  192.168.7.18 udp dpts:56881:56891
7       52  4530 ACCEPT     all  --  *      *    0.0.0.0/0  0.0.0.0/0    state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
9        0     0 DROP       all  --  wlan0  *    0.0.0.0/0  0.0.0.0/0

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
num   pkts bytes target     prot opt in     out  source     destination
1       93 10731 ACCEPT     all  --  *      *    0.0.0.0/0  0.0.0.0/0    state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED

The router gives me the following log showing that the forwarding works:

Code: Select all

88.135.63.x    UDP 	56881 	Accepted
123.115.249.x  UDP 	56881 	Accepted
114.46.174.x   UDP 	56881 	Accepted
186.150.201.x  UDP 	56881 	Accepted

I can also watch many packets going in and out through this port on my RasPi using ipgrab.

Still Deluge is not able to seed. When I watch the torrent list in Deluge I can see peers failing to connect (the 0 in the "Peers" coloumn becomes a 1, and after some seconds a 0 again). What can I do?

I'm having this same problem.

After a torrent switches from downloading to seeding, almost no new uploads are started. I see clients connecting, then not actually downloading anything, then disconnecting. As a result, after a week I still have seed ratios <1, even though the numbers between () in the peers column are >0 most of the time.

This seems to happen more often after the daemon has been running for a while. I.e. I can sometimes get it to upload a little again by restarting the daemon.
I tried running the daemon with logging enabled, but even at -L debug there's nothing about failed connections or whatever.

Can someone knowledgable explain what is going on here? Any ideas on how to get clients to actually download from me instead of disconnecting?

If it helps, I'm using Deluge v1.3.6, libtorrent v0.16.13.0.

Looking around a bit, I found this thread on the libtorrent mailinglist about peer connections timing out. It looks like it might be related to this issue, but I can't find how to enable libtorrent logging without overhauling the whole installation, so I can't test it myself.

I've opened a bug ticket #2457.
