Transmission

meh, I've given up on transmission for at least the time being.
uTorrent has progressed nicely and works perfectly for me.
Not about to reinstall my OS when the only thing wrong is a single piece of software.

It's not my router, Other torrent apps work perfectly on the same ports with no settings changed.

funkahdafi - I agree with you; most of the small embedded routers you buy at the local computer shop are pretty rubbish at handling large packet flow.
They have very underpowered chips (most don't even ...

No, it's not my router.
I'm a network engineer / tech for a 9000+ user hospital dealing with routers and switches day in and day out.
My router running the latest stable pfsense has no problems forwarding ports to other applications or users.

I've just scrapped transmission and am now using ...

Just used appzapper to remove all config files related to Transmission and installed the old 1.74 version.
Put the same port in that my last install reported as open (65533) and it's now reporting it as closed.

Can anyone work on a fix for this?

I've tried changing the port to other random ports with no luck.

but...

I just changed it to 65533 and forwarded the port on my router and all of a sudden the port is open?!
It was definitely forwarded correctly before (I am a computer tech).

the bad news:

Transfers still aren't moving.

No change with 1.74...

Could be a plan, I'm at work and will try when I'm home.

Weird thing is that the torrents aren't transferring *at all*, usually when a port is not forwarded the transfers just go very slow...

*bump*

I'm having exactly the same problem, it's a bloody pain in the next.
It was working fine until the latest stable 1.75 build was out now everything is dead
