Have been fighting with Transmission 2.32 for several days trying to figure out why DL speeds are 10 percent of what they were in the recent past.
I did the "open port" dance, in fact, opening the entire range of 50000-65000 for torrents. No joy.
Followed the excellent suggestions at https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/SlowSpeeds : No joy.
You can see my pain here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11929&p=55362#p55362 (possibly mis-titled).
The only thing that fixed it was to install Transmission version 2.22 in place of 2.32.
Torrents that were showing remaining time in days now show 2 hours. All is well.
Sparky.
