Tracker returns seeders, but no connections are made

Post by tempfile »

Transmission says the tracker had 2 seeders and 2 leechers, and that it returned a list of 3 peers (so I assume at least one seeder), but on the peers tab of the torrent properties window it shows nothing.

This happens sometimes, only with torrents with few seeders. Why is it? Is it a problem with transmission? Are the seeders not wanting to connect? If the problem is not with transmission where can I find the information that would tell me so?

My guess is that the seeders are not active. If you really want to test if it is Transmission I'd try another reputable torrent client. The more I torrent, the more I realize I need 2 torrents just to make sure the other isn't broken. I really like Transmission because it's so lightweight and simple, but I use Deluge frequently simply because Transmission seems to have issues.
