Transmission does not download

So I have just installed Transmission into my vm testbed running CU189 Testing.

I changed the default port value from 6969 to 6970 so it is the same port as you are using.

As the vm IPFire is running on my internal green network, I had to add a port forward into my production IPFire system.

As currently I also have a router/firewall from my ISP (working to remove it but not there yet) I also added a port forward into that router.

I then added a firewall rule on my vm IPFire the same as have used to send port 6970 traffic (TCP & UDP) to my vm IPFire system.

I then added a torrent from Arch Linux into my transmission system and it has successfully downloaded it into /var/transmission/downloads - 1.1G file.

So transmission downloading worked for me with Core Update 189.

So I can not reproduce the failure to download files with transmission.

In the wiki it has the firewall rule as destination β€œany”
Perhaps try that?
Or
Destination firewall is maybe a option?

It basically worked fine before the crash problem. Now the crash is resolved, but this is what came up. :smiley:

Status - > Connection
if it helps anything.
port: 6970

It shows a lot of connections that are waiting.

When I start a download, and it is actively going, then there are a huge number of connections as the torrent is splitting the file into a huge number of small bits and the connections page then has a lot of ESTABLISHED for the connection status.

You have no ESTABLISHED status connections with your download locations but the connections page doesn’t give any clue as to why.
