Why are my torrents not downloading?
I am using transmission-daemon and controlling it through the webgui.
Currently I have two torrents from separate trackers that are on 0B of OB status. I am using transmission. On one torrent at last announce it says "got 50 peers" the other "got 48 peers."
port 51413 is listed as open
I have changed the ownership of the download folder to debian-transmission
Any ideas? I'm fresh out of troubleshooting steps.
In my case, it was also helpful to change the setting of the random port picking option to true. In transmission, you do it by following these instructions:
Edit → Preferences → Network Tab → Tick the first box
I had the problem. The cause was the client being unauthorized.
To solve the issue, I changed the settings:
- Stop daemon:
sudo service transmission-daemon stop - Edit the settings:
sudo vim /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json(replace vim with your favourite text editor) - Unrequire authentication: "rpc-authentication-required": false
- Whitelist localhost: "rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1"
- Restart daemon:
sudo service transmission-daemon start
And now it works. If you suffered from this issue, it's possible that download-dir changed as well. so I suggest you check that option too and change it to your desire:
"download-dir": "/var/lib/transmission-daemon/Downloads"
