[ubuntu] Transmission problems on upgrade to 12.04

http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. I am using port forwarding, and the same port settings as I did in 10.04, and my port is open in Transmission's preferences>network dialog, as well as canyouseeme.org . I am wondering if somehow I mangled my port blocking OS level, as I used firestarter in 10 (Hardware)

Not sure when something changed to cause this. Deluge used to work just swimmingly for me.I'm not getting any errors from the program itself although I'll post the console output that might shed light. Basically though I have no data transmission for torrents.

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.

I'm using the latest version of Ubuntu and Transmission.

According to Transmission, the file I am downloading has 0 peers and is idle, even though there are a few peers seeding it.

Here's a batch of error messages from Transmission's log:

> Could not connect to tracker.

To re-download, remove the torrent and re-add it"For every torrent.I think it may have something to do with the download and temp directory for transmission being on a second HDD.

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.

Thanks all for your input.Well, the last couple of days some torrents have been uploading, so it's working, even though very slow (downloads are fast). I guess it's just that not so many people want the stuff I have...

Deluge not downloading 29 weeks 4 days ago

Well I have a problem with Deluge. Every time I add a new torrent it just won't download. I can see the list of peers but it does not download anything. I'm still uploading old torrents so it's not a connectivity thing.

Hello,

I have an headless ubuntu server with two NICs and set internet sharing according to this tutorial http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2012/0...d-dhcp-server/

Everything is just fine, but i have some problems with magnet link torrent uploading.

So how can I make a port-forwarding for Transmission port - 51413?

Brand new install. ubuntu 12.04 opened a torrent with transmission and it fails to connect. time unknown 0% and eventually stalls error connection failed network tab test port - port closed.

this all worked with previous versions of ubuntu

I am behind a firewall that uses PAT

I just installed deluge and have the same problem.

I know the network has not changed, so it leaves me to figure out wh
