Not downloading any torrents

Post by Aysh »

I don't understand what is going on. I am on a Mac 10.4 and I have Transmission 1.54 I just updated but it doesn't download. The torrent just sits there. Please help.

same problem here, I have OSX 10.5.8, I downloaded to the latest version, installed the latest software updates, checked portsettings, restarting router, downloaded previous versions, restoring permissions but it makes no difference. It keeps saying: 'Downloading from 0 of 0 peers'. I tried everything but now I think I'm switching over to uTorrent, it is working fine so... Goodbye transmission... it was fun while it lasted.

unless someone knows the solution.

Did you work through the "slow speeds" checklist mentioned in the READ ME FIRST: How to Report a Bug post that's at the top of each and every forum?

I had somewhat the same problem:

My fix:
My router assigns port forwarding to a per physical ethernet plug basis. If you change the cables around after setting up all the port forwarding and other firewall settings, you have to reset all the settings to the new way you plugged in all your ethernet cables. I went into my router and deleted all settings and totally reconfigured it to my new set up.

Hope it helps.
