Erratic speed; port closed

Post by rogrossm »

Hi -- I am using Transmission 1.75 on a Mac with OS X 10.5.8. My upload speed is good -- I set the limit to 44 kb/s and most of the time it stays right at that level. However the download speed is extremely erratic and mostly very slow. Download speed changes quite a lot every few seconds, and download speed is normally very low, in the single digits.

To try to fix this, I have been trying to open the port, but no matter what I do (I've followed several sets of instructions) Transmission still tells me the port is closed. I have set the firewall in the "Security" section of system preferences to allow incoming connections for Transmission, and I've set port forwarding for the port Transmission uses in my router.

What else can I do?

Many thanks :)
