Deluge Forum

So recently, I was trying to start a few downloads with Deluge. Unfortunately, when I attempted to do so, Deluge threw the "Port Issue" Error With this being said, other clients, such as qBittorrent, do not have any similar issues. This problem started without changing any settings within Deluge. I am wondering why this is happening and how to fix it.

OS is Windows 10. No virtual machine or anything like that. Just running Deluge normally on my desktop.

I have the same problem.
I use a random port. When I test it I get the same error.
I get a few connections and DHT nodes, but no downloads.
I'm on Win10, Deluge 2.1.1 connected to a wifi router.
Not sure port forwarding would help. I'd like to avoid the complications...
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance.

Hi again,
just to add to the question:
Upload is working, but not download.

So a quick google search and NordVPN does not offer port fowarding.

https://support.nordvpn.com/FAQ/1047408 ... arding.htm

This will leave you with the "Port Issue" error, no way around this. You will not be able to effectively seed any torrents.

Your solution is to find a provider for a VPN that offers port forwarding, or stop using a VPN to torrent.

If other clients tell you that they are functioning properly, they are lying or not using your VPN properly. You need the port to be open and accessible from the outside internet to seed PROPERLY.

You will still seed to peers YOU connect TO, but this is less common by comparison to proper seeding.

It is unclear if you are using NordVPN like the original poster, but if so - see my previous post for an answer to the "port issue" error.

As far as upload working and download not, that is probably an entirely separate issue from the port one and probably belongs in its own post.

Hijacking someone else's thread with a different problem is generally considered rude, please try to stick to the original issue of the thread, or make your own thread relevant to your issue if necessary. This makes it easy for future people to search/find that issue and, hopefully, the solution.

Burying it in a thread about another issue only hides it and takes THAT thread off the original topic.

I use NordVPN and this error resolves a few minutes after I am able to establish a connection with a peer, which as ambipro said, is possible in this situation as one is seeding to peer, but isn't in fact proper seeding.

If you want to use NordVPN, you just have to accept it, as ambipro said. I wouldn't hold out hope on the "Support for port-forwarding may be implemented in the future." as they have entries that have said that literally for years regarding various things and nothing have ever been done.
