Deluge 1.3.2 - 1.3.5 not seeding

Post by Nighteyes »

I'm using Deluge for 2 years now and I never bothered upgrading after version 1.3.1 until recently. The reason for the upgrade is that my windows log shows that it makes too many connection attempts and the limit in the Deluge client does not seem to have any effect on it.
So I uninstalled Deluge and GTK and tried installing the newest version of Deluge.

After I started Deluge 1.3.5 I noticed the skins where not working, this is not a big problem so I continued using it.
While downloading is working really well (I am getting the speeds advertised at my provider), uploading does not seem to work. I see its trying to connect to peers but it never starts uploading.
I used the same settings I used in Deluge 1.3.1 but it just does not seem to work. After this I went searching on the internet and found out it is a common problem people suggested downgrading to the 1.3.2 client. This I did and my skin started working again (yay :P), but still no uploading.

I read the FAQ and tried some different things mentioned but it won't help me with this problem.

Some extra information:
OS: Windows 7 x64 (SP1)
Python: 2.6
Plugins active: None while testing.
Libtorrent: version that comes with the installer of either 1.3.2 and 1.3.5
Both my incoming and outgoing port are the same and they can be reached from outside (checked this with the test button obviously).
Changing amount of maximum connections does not have any influence since it won't even reach 10 peers.
Half-open connections are set at 20.
Connection attempts per second are set at 20.
Encryption is on but not forced and is on either.
DHT is off since I use private trackers.
NAT-PMP and UPnP are off since I manually configure my router/pc.

Extra note during my futile attempts of getting 1.3.2 and 1.3.5 to work I even switched providers getting a faster modem but this all had no influence. Version 1.3.1 is happily working but the others ain't, the reason I want to get a newer version is because the old version sometimes drops my internet connection (only this pc).

There is a newer version of libtorrent (0.15.10 vs 0.14.10) in 1.3.2 and later. There was an issue with older versions of 0.15 but it was apparently fixed. From the Deluge p.o.v. there is not much we can do and you are the only user reporting the issue.

Have you tested with popular torrents on http://www.clearbits.net or a Linux distribution?

I found multiple topics online about users with a windows version downgrading. I might try a linux destribution but I first want to explore some other options if possible since I'm not sure if I can actually install things with a live cd and I don't want to install it on my main machine because it has a raid setup.

I will test the newest version of Deluge on my laptop which has a fresh install to see if it behaves different, if it does I might reinstall my windows ;).
It is just curious that all works really well with the older 1.3.1 version and not with the newer ones.

Which topics? The only recent issue that required users to downgrade was to do with libtorrent and 64bit Windows however that was fixed in 1.3.5 release.
