question about multiple ports

Post by dtdime »

I had a question about the ports Deluge uses. Under Preferences/Network/Incoming Ports, a port range can be set, as opposed to just a single port. Does Deluge make use of all these ports? For example, if I set the port range from 9001 to 9100, and I have 100 torrents actively seeding, will Deluge round robin the ports? Will it report to torrent #1's tracker that it's using my.ip:9001, and to torrent #2's tracker that it's using my.ip:9002, and so on?

No. If the first port in the range is not available, Deluge will attempt to bind to the next and so on. Only one listen port is active at any time.
