Torrent tracker problem

[erdrag]

Hello, I've been downloading some torrents and when they are finished most of them starts "queueing" why is that?

And also, when my torrents get tracker error they do not switch torrent to a better, instead it keeps the same tracker, how can i fix this?

See the queue settings. All bit torrent clients behave in a similar fashion. They have limits of how many uploads, downloads and total active torrents you can have running at once. Most people only keep a couple active at once because their available bandwidth is low. When one of them finishes it will stop and then one from your queue will start. A lot of clients will favor downloads before they worry about seeding.

I personally generally have only 1 download running at a time and maybe 2 uploads. When I used uTorrent I had it set for 1 active torrent and not to start the next download until that one was finished seeding.

You can over ride those settings. A lot of clients have a "force start" option so you can tell certain torrents to run all the time and not be counted for the limits. For deluge you would disable the "auto managed" setting of the torrent to get that behavior.



For your tracker question I have no idea. I don't pay attention to the tracker status of my downloads. It could be your tracker is just not reliable and your connection failed at the moment. Is there an error message given? Are the multi tracker torrents? Some have several trackers so they can have a backup if something goes wrong.

Hey thanks for replying!

The error that is given when the tracker isnt working , is for example "publicbt.com: Error: timed out" but i have a bunch of different trackers in the torrent, should'nt deluge try each torrent and find the one that works? because right now its just the same tracker all the time.

Another error i get in the deluge program is "no incoming connections!" at the bottom. i have the ports in the network preference settings set to, Outgoing random and incoming random, but the error wont go away. and i have a bunch of torrents with the text "seeding" but they are not seeding, there just 1 torrent that is seeding, even tough the torrents that are not seeding has peers.

Kind Regards

The timed out error probably just means you failed to connect. My guess would be it is just busy.

There is a plugin called ltconfig. It has 2 options for announce to all tiers and announce to all trackers. You could use that to force it to use all the trackers. I left those options disabled because in theory if one fails it should choose another. From what I read online with those options disabled it should randomly pick through the tier 0 trackers until it finds one that works. If they all fail then it goes to tier 1. When those all fail then to tier 2...

You could also manually delete that tracker from the list if you want it to pick a different one. (right click->edit tracker)

Also, the DHT and PEX extensions should allow you to connect to peers even when the trackers are down.



For the no incoming connections error you are going to have to read up on port forwarding through your router as well as your firewall.



The no seeding thing could be just because the peers you are connected to don't want to download (marked some files as do not download) or it could be related to your libtorrent version being outdated. Some of the older builds had issues with uploading. You could try manually updating it.

I downloaded the libtorrent file and renamed my other file, and replaced them. How do i know if it has changed?

heres a picture of my torrents, and it shows that it has peers downloading http://imgur.com/NSdjwh8

And about the portforwarding part, wich port should i port forward? the Daemon port shown in preference?
because i have portforwarded the deluge-web default ports, so i can acces the web thing.

and i have tried to disable the firewall for a brief moment, but nothing changed.

Heres my settings for the seeding part, if you got time.
Can you check them out and see if theres something i can change? like the cache setting or something

From the top menu bar click help->about.

For the settings, that is going to depend on your network. Maybe turn off deluge and go to speedtest.net and see what your upload and download speeds are first.

For ports, i would use random for outgoing and select just 1 for incoming by changing the from and the to to the same number and a high one, 48999 for example.

[erdrag]

Hello, i checked my speed at speed test. and the download was about 13-18 Mbps and upload was 0.80Mbps does that help configuring the settings?

Does it matter wich number i use for the port? the current one im using is like 8112, because i watched a tutorial and they said to use it, because its the default.

[Shryp]

Not the webui port, the other port.

Network->incoming port:
uncheck use random
From: 49111 To 49111 (forward this in your router and windows firewall)
outgoing: check use random
network extras: you can check peer exchange, lsd, dht
encryption: inbound/outbound enabled, level either, encrypt entire stream

Bandwidth:
Global:
max connections: 400
max upload slots: -1
max download speed: -1 or maybe 1500
max upload: 85
max half open / max per second 20
check ignore, uncheck overhead

Per torrent:
max connections: 100
max slots: 4
max down/up: -1

Queue:
uncheck queue to top
active: -1
down: 1
up: 2
don't count slow
limit: 2
ration: 7
time: 180
check stop seeding at 1.5
uncheck auto remove

Cache:
Mine says size 512, expiry 60. I never messed with those

Plugins: I am using Labelplus, ltConfig and YaRSS2 maybe browsebutton too.

So i should forward the daemon port ?

So i should forward the daemon port ?

No, not unless you are connecting remotely with thin client mode.

Go to the Network tab, go to the "Incoming Port", remove the check mark from the "use random ports" box, put the same number in the from and the to fields and then forward that port.
