How to increase Transmission speed?

[.fred]

Hey.

Is there a way to just start my Transmission download? Its been at 0 bytes for a while now.

Im new to this, do i have to configure anything?

 

[Bernard Bernoul]

Have you properly set up port forwarding?

 

[GSMiller]

There probably aren't any "seeds" (people who have the entire file and are uploading it to others). I have a file in Azureus (another torrent client) that has not been downloading for about three weeks because there are no seeds.

 

[Osarkon]

If you're new to this, have you made sure the torrent you want actually has seeds?

 

[.fred]

Yeah, it has seeds.

Talking about ports, what numbers should it be?

 

[Bernard Bernoul]

I just kind of picked a port and mapped it in the router. As an example, I think I'm using 56001 or something like that. Just make sure that you've assigned an IP for yourself as opposed to getting one assigned through DHCP. I think I've read that some ports are banned but I really don't know too much about that.

 

[.fred]

Ok, but should there be an error beside the port?

 

[Bernard Bernoul]

I think I've always had an error when it comes to "automatically mapping" the port. Actually, it got to the point where I started using azureus instead. Did you assign yourself an IP address, etc.?

 

[Eidorian]

I do have uPnP turned on for other things but I just mapped the port myself.

 

[Bernard Bernoul]

Sweet, yeah, thanks for the SS Eidorian. I don't have my mbp with me at work and I'm not the best at descriptive responses. .fred, it should look like that.

Don't use Transmission. It's blocked by a lot of torrent trackers.

Get Azureus, its a much BETTER program with more features

This is not true. There are very few where it's blocked.

We're not talking about BitComet here...

Considering Transmission resolved most of this back in 0.71. 🙄

Hey, Eldorian!

I don't seem to have the connection pane? And also, when i use that port on yours, it sys port is stealth?

It's the preferences for Transmision. I had to forward the port on my router.

 

[.fred]

Could you guide me on that? Im really stuck here..

Thanks,eldorian.

Thanks,eldorian.

Port Foward has guides for a significant number of routers.

You'll just need to pick a port in Transmission and forward it on your router.

 

[.fred]

Sorry, but could you give me a step by step guide?

I dont know anything about forwarding and all.. 🙁

I'm going to hand this off to someone else...

 

[.fred]

Ok. If i lnow my router model, can u help me?

 

[Bernard Bernoul]

If you check the manufacturers website and look for your model number it should/may provide a step-by-step for port forwarding. It's really not difficult to do but explaining it is another matter. Don't take that the wrong way, basically I just don't feel confident in my "teaching" abilities.

What version of Transmission are you on? I don't have half the settings on that screenshot..
