Port error

Post by BushyIV »

The main screen displays a small text & icon in the bottom right corner of the screen "port error" Clicking it opens another window that doesn't provide any information as to what the port error is or what to do about it.

Now all the while there's an active torrent and download traffic is happening.

Is there anything I should do about this port error?

It means no incoming connections detected(deluge raises said error when never recieved atleast one incoming_connection alert from libtorrent), hence opens network preferences menu when pressing on error, to let you change incoming port to other correctly working one, if having such.

Please look up port forwarding, plenty of resources on that for deluge or torrenting in general. Note, for popular torrents, then don't strictly need it and often will in such cases max out your connection regardless without(for downloading).

Thanks, it was confusing as it worked fine on a different torrent.
