Problem with port forwarding

Post by ltr »

Hi guys, I'm having the following issue:

My network settings:
I have a static IP, and everything (else) works fine

My deluge settings are:
TCP active ports go from 49153 to 49158
dht unchecked (is this good?)
upnp unchecked (is this good?)

I have a Linksys router wrt54g wich settings are:
I have setted the same ports from deluge to be forwarded
I have checked enabled, under the administration tab, de UPnP



the thing is, it's not working fine.

When I do the deluge port test, it says it's closed.
Usually, when I download a torrent that has MANY MANY seeds, I get decent speeds...but right now I'm trying this torrent with 6 seeds and 18 peers and I can't get any faster than 5 kb/s (my max is 125 kb/s); but my upload speed is always at it's max.

So, what should I do?

I have also tried disabling the UPnP, from the deluge settings and from my router settings, and it's the same.


Any suggestions?

DHT is nice to have, if you want it, enable it. Usually UPnP is only needed if you can't forward your port properly, it tries to automatically set it.
I am wondering myself about the port forwarding on the wrt54g, I used to have one... can't remember now the settings, does it have a port range forward, or just a port forward?
I see you have Deluge setup to use a port range, 49153 to 49158. If you don't have the option to do a port range forward you could add each port number between those numbers into your port forwarding or consider using just a single port i.e. 49153 to 49153 and forward that single port.

yep, it has the range option, and I have the same range forwarded...it should work, but apparently I'm doing something wrong here.

Is it possible that my wrt54g is the enemy here?

Make sure you have it forwarding to your static ip address. Other than that I can't think of anything else or see the router as the problem.

Oh, setting the protocol to both tcp and udp, if it wasn't already... and make sure the checkbox is enabled and save settings.

Yeah, all that is done...I guess this has to do with my router...I'l go to their forums to see if there somebody can help me. If I get a solution I'll come back here to post it.
