Settinng Transmission

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I've recently migrated to Linux from Windows and I work on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I am trying to preserve my usual habits of Winodws so that I can use Linux more regularly. One of those habits is P2P activity. On Windows, to get the best of my P2P client (uTorrent), I was proceeding as follows: 1 - Set a static IP to my system and 2 - Forward a port Do I need to do the same to make Transmission work at its full capacity? If yes, how to set a static IP in Ubuntu? (hope, its not too complicated for a novice like me) ;) I can manage with forwarding a port unless its a specific process for Linux. (HowTos)

Stories similar to Settinng Transmission

I have set the rules in ufw for Transmission but when I try to use it it will not transfer and it also says the port is closed when checked under preferences.

If I turn the UFW firewall off it still says that the port is closed but it transfers fine. I then can turn the UFW back on and it continues to work.

Hi, friends. I recently upgraded my installation from 10.04 (32) to 12.04 (64). I installed Transmission from USS, and it runs alright. It was able to read and verify my torrents/data just fine. However, it is unable to download any new torrents - it won't connect to peers, and AFAICT it will likewise not connect to any peers to seed.

Transmission says my port is closed. If I google the problem, it just gives me advice on how to open a port in Windows OS. There's no firewall in Ubuntu 10.10 by default, right? There isn't any router used neither. I'm living in a dorm. I just plug the LAN cable in the box fixed to the wall. Hope you guys can help me out.

Cheers

Now I know how to set up port forwarding on a router so this is not that. yea.

What I want to do is, if possible, connect from Computer A to computer B and use computer B as a proxy for all of the Transmission (bit torrent) connections. I know how to do this with DNS, Http, etc etc but I'm not quite sure how to go at this with torrenting.

[ubuntu] proxy forwarding help 3 years 14 weeks ago

I use an application called Proxoid to connect to the internet via my moto Droid using android adb forward. Turns my cell into a little proxy server or something.

This works great on firefox and in synaptic package manager because they both have options to use a manual proxy. i just put in localhost 8080

I have a few problems still though:
