Transmission

When you say you have no firewall active, do you mean locally on your Mac, on the modem connected to the Airport, or both?

I spoke too soon anyway. If I use 1080 the port shows as open but all my downloads stall. Back to the drawing board.

I have no idea if they know about it. It probably isn't a problem with the software. It is more likely to be a problem with how your system is setup.

As I mentioned earlier, I found out the reason that my port was closed was due to my VPN. I contacted my VPN provider, NordVPN, to ask when they will be providing port forwarding.

Is that normal?

I realise this is almost 6 years old so won't benefit anyone on the thread, but I was having this exact same problem - I'm even on a MacBook with an Apple Airport Extreme router (although obviously with a different OS).
