Problems with connecting to tracker?

Post by Gasten »

Hi! I've created a torrent, which I want to seed. I'm using Piratebay's tracker. Often when I open Deluge and start to seed, it sais seeds 0 (4), peers 0 (2) or something similar. After a while (15 sec ~ 1 min) all the seeds and peers disappear ( 0 (0), 0 (0)). I'm also downloading/seeding other torrent _with the exact tracker-setup_ without any problem. I got a NAT-firewall, but I'm sure that I've configured it correctly.

Do anyone else experience this problem, or know a solution to it?

what does the "test active port" button in the network tab of preferences tell you? also, make sure you have encryption enabled, but not forced. which version of deluge are you using? most likely, though, it's your isp sending you a peer reset message, which makes seeding pretty impossible. here's an article for more info on that (article is about comcast, but other isps do the same, too) http://torrentfreak.com/comcast-throttl ... mpossible/

I'm using deluge 0.5.4.1 with encryption enabled. I've recently fuzzed around with the firewall settings so right now they're closed (have to look into that...), but the behavior existed while they were wide open, too.

I could be experiencing throttling, in fact, I think I do! The only torrents that are seeding right now are the ones with 10~ trackers.

I'll looking into tunneling via ssh.

you should upgrade to 0.5.7.1 and you really need to open your ports. good luck :)

Well, the seeds and peers doesn't seem to disappear now (seen them for a couple of minutes). Great!

However, I can't seem to open my ports again. I don't know much about security, so therefore I ask first: is it very dumb to post a screenshot with the firewall rules and make/model of the router? Or should I come by on irc?

best would be to go to portforward and choose your router and then follow the general guide or the guide for utorrent.

there's not really much harm in posting your make/model but odds are that site has more info on your router than we do.
