The second (and following) download never starts

Post by HarryCover »

On a LAN:

3 daemons, Transmission 2.92 (14714), debian 9.1 amd64
  • client-a, 192.168.1.103, seeding torrent_x, torrent_y
  • client-b, 192.168.1.114
  • client-c, 192.168.1.110
1 Tracker, erdgeist opentracker
  • Tracker-a 192.168.1.97
Steps to reproduce:
  1. Upload torrent_x on client-b, let it finish
  2. Trash data and remove from list... on client-b, torrent_x
  3. Upload torrent_x on client-b again => torrent_x never starts

    client-b doesn't receive any piece from client-a, nothing useful in logs (both sides)
  4. Upload torrent_x on client-c => torrent_x, client-c starts, client-b too (from client-c)
  5. Trash data and remove from list... on client-b, torrent_x
  6. Upload torrent_x on client-b again => torrent_x never starts

    client-b doesn't receive any piece from client-a/client-c, nothing useful in logs again
It seems that the couple (client, torrent) is banned from seeders after one successful download, the only workaround i found is to restart seeders daemons.

The behavior is the same with Windows daemons (*.msi from transmission's github)

MY QUESTION IS: Is it a bandwith protection feature (if so, can it be disabled from settings.json?) or a bug ?

Harry.
