Transmission

I have been using TCP and UDP. I'm also uncertain whether both are necessary but I use both to ensure it works...

I've realized that the problem lies within the router as I took my macbook pro to a friend's house and port forwarded the ports for transmission and shakespeer there and it worked perfectly! Argh

Hmmm, maybe I will try the older version, though I also cannot open a port with another app i am running so I am suspicious...

I never mentioned that I have recently set up my macbook to use the proxy configuration at my University. Of course when I get back home I disable the proxy settings in firefox. Is there anything else regarding proxy settings I may have overlooked that may be the cause of this?

hmm strange... the only thing that could be wrong is the firewall, but you said you are allowing all incoming connections. So that means you have the firewall off...

Exactly... I'm usually good at resolving these issues but I have no idea what to do here. I've reinstalled transmission and updated ...

No help unfortunately - see pic

Nope, that isn't possible essiw :lol: Networking equipment for the most part is platform agnosic.

wrinkly1987, are you using any proxy services? Are you using UPNP (Universal Plug N Play) on your router? Have you tried changing the port #? Can you post a screen shot of your port forwarding?

Hi ...

Yes I have port forwarded successfully with this router before. Though it was with a windows machine.

Yes I read the guide and I've successfully forwarded ports before so I'm familiar with doing so. The open port check tool site says that connection is refused when i enter 51413 :/

I have used the search function and read topics giving the same advice. My firewall is set to allow all incoming connections.

here is my log:

Hi,
I have read the wiki. And looked through the support page and though everything seems to look good, my speeds are really slow :/

1. Do you have any per-torrent or global speed limits set?
Yes - download is unlimited and upload is 20 KB/s
2. What are your global and per-torrent peer limits ...
