I am using Deluge version 1.1.9 on Ubuntu 9.10.

It SEEMS that everything is working fine - I have used a couple of torrents to download stuff.. and uploading is working also. However when I look in the Network Configuration window, the 'Test Active Port' returns e a yellow exclamation mark. Also, at the bottom of the GUI there is a stop sign and message 'No Incoming Connections!'

I have configured Deluge to use port 61242 for incoming port and have configured my router to direct that port to my Deluge machine. Am I missing something? Why do I keep getting the warnings? I would ignore them completely but I am tempted by the idea that perhaps after fixing the warnings, my down- and upload speed would increase.

Thanks.

Not sure is both UDP and TCP forwarded?

Are you aware that there is a much newer version 1.2.2 for Ubuntu in PPA.

Yes, both UDT and TCP are forwarded.

I am still using Karmic which only has 1.1.9 support. I am a noob so I cant really compile/build/whatever the stuff myself.
Waiting till Lucid goes LTS before I upgrade.

Thanks for replying btw.. I will just ignore the notifications for now.

there is nothing complicated about using software in ppa, thats what they are designed for and you will need to do this at some point when using ubuntu.

i have planned to write an install tutorial but here is the short version that will add the PPA repository and upgrade deluge

from console enter the following

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Thanks.. I am running the latest version now.

The exclamation mark remains, but since the upload and download seems to be working... meh..
I am quite happy atm

speed is wonderful

good to hear it is working.

a few things to consider anyway:
forward a range of ports (5-10) instead of just one
make sure that you are forwarding to the pc's ip address and that the pc doesnt change ip address.
ubuntu has a firewall but it is normally disabled by default

Edit: Another thing to check is in Delge Preferences->Network click the Test Active Port and see if you get a tick or an exclamation mark.
