seeding issue ( not connecting to peers )

[talk.rah]

Transmission 2.12 is installed on CentOS 5 32bit on a VPS.

Seeding ratio is set to 5.

Transmission was working fine ( both downloading and seeding ) but from few days transmission is not seeding properly, i have noticed that while downloading transmission connects to peers but when download completes and seeding starts transmission is unable to connect to peers and hence not able to seed properly.

I have tested the same torrents from Utorrent, and it does work properly. I have also tried to use different trackers but still the same thing.



peer-port is forwarded to 51413, . Here is my settings.json file:

Port 9091 is forwarded.

That's a mistake.

The port you need forwarding on is the peer port: 51413 (from your settings).

It could have been working before since you are using UPnP (that's the port-forwarding-enabled in the settings), but if that changed on your router then it stopped working (or if the router has a time limit on UPnP, which I haven't seen in any router).

"rpc-port": 9091 and peer port is 51413 only.

You're using 2.12, right? Does the problem persist in 2.30 beta 4?

I have the same problem using Transmission 2.22 (12099) on Openwrt 10.03-r5 (testing).

While downloading, transmission connects to many different peers and the download speed is very good. But when the torrent has finished downloading, transmission looses all the connections to peers and doesn't seed the torrent at all.

In the web interface, in the Trakers tab of the Inspector, I get the following error for all the torrents that I'm currently seeding:

Code: Select all

Scrape error: Error parsing response

The network configuration was the first thing I've checked. And everything looks fine there. The incoming TCP port is 51413 and it is opened in the firewall.

Exactly the same problem i am facing... while downloading it connects to number of peers but when download finishes it looses all peers and don't seed.

Code: Select all

Scrape error: Error parsing response

I am not getting that scrape error though.

any suggestions to solve this seeding issue ?

[talk.rah]

even upgrading to latest version of transmission is of no help.

I have the same problem (already posted here, but somehow my account and all messages were deleted for some unknown reason). I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and transmission 2.12. Upgrading to last stable version (2.13) and most recent beta (2.30b4) didn't help either.

I am having a similar issues I have been running Transmission 1.92 Opensuse 11.3. I finally updated to 2.31 and I have been having issues. It seems when speed limit is being enforced it has issues connecting to seeds and peers. If i disable speed limit say with the web interface it will happily connect like normal. If I then re-enable the speed limit it seems to keep the current connections but i don't think it will make any new ones.
