Deluge Pauses Itself

[Symbolis]

Well, that's part of the issue.

Running Deluge 0.5.6.2 on Ubuntu 7.04(x86).

When downloading a file, Deluge will frequently pause itself, then unpause.

In addition, it'll download quite slow.

My internet's by Sympatico and my modem's a Speedstream 6520, with 6881-6889 forwarded to this computer via the modem's webui.

UPnP is turned off and attempting to turn it back on doesn't work.(just tried, after deleting the config stuff...crashed Deluge. Restarting it shows UPnP is still off.)

Only other thing to note is that with Firestarter open, there are misc. connection attempts(via TCP and ICMP, mainly) on other ports, that don't generally occur when Deluge is off)

Well, hopefully someone can figure something out with that info. If you've got questions, just let me know.

Deluge keeps the torrents paused or pausing and resuming and then pausing my torrents repeatedly. What's the problem?
The first thing you should check is if you need to increase the number of maximum active torrents in the Downloads tab of Preferences. If that's not the problem, then you probably don't have enough room to download the torrent. Also, on Linux, it could be that the directory that you're trying to download to has the wrong permissions, so Deluge isn't being able to write to it. If you've checked the free space and permissions and everything looks fine, try switching to compact allocation and removing and re-adding the torrent. Full allocation *may* sometimes have problems with some more exotic filesystems, such as UFS2 or FAT32 on Linux.

In addition, it'll download quite slow.

Which ports should I use?
The official ports for BitTorrent are 6881-6889, but most ISPs block or at least throttle those ports, so users are encouraged to use a port range of 49152-65535.

please read the faq

Sorry. No idea how I missed the pause/unpause one. None of what was listed was an issue, but changing the ports seems to have fixed this problem, as well.

I was under the impression Sympatico didn't throttle those ports...but apparently now they do. Blah.

Thanks much!
