I am new to to torrents in general and transmission specifically and could use some help . I have used the help function in transmission as well as the wiki data base but still have issues with port being closed .
Canyouseeme can't verify due to connection timeout . IFW material i do not understand . I can use transmission for p2p but it's so slow it is of no benefit and i assume that is because of the port being closed . Can someone assist me in getting the port open ?
Thanks

So first thing is to be certain of what the problem is. The port can be tested with Transmission (I assume you are using the latest Transmission-GTK on Linux, or perhaps an older version that came with your Linux distribution) using its "Preferences" panel, on the Network tab there should be a button "Test port", it takes a few seconds.

If it transfers both ways (download/upload) then the port is probably not closed, the speed is something else (and there is a Wiki article about Slow speeds).snoopy66 wrote:it's so slow
