Could not connect to tracker

Post by jetsky32 »

Hi,

I am using transmission-cli via ssh to download torrents from remote server. But somehow in 80% of downloads transmission-cli just show error and download is not happening:

Code: Select all

Port Forwarding: State changed from "Not forwarded" to "Starting"
transmission-cli 2.84 (14307
Could not connect to tracker
Retrying announce in 20 seconds.
Could not connect to tracker
...
Could not connect to tracker
Retrying announce in 7254 seconds.
Then a day later is works as it should. Network settings are OK and do not change.

Any idea what could I possibly check or what could be wrong?

Thank you

Well, I am trying to download "classic" ISOs like recent Ubuntu, Debian, etc. Should I enable DHT somehow once I am using transmission-cli?

- kindly help me understand what is going on there.
