What ports need to be open?

[Guest]

So.. What ports need to be open on my router? I get:

"torguard.net: Error: Success, Your torrent client IP is: 184.75.209.2"

 

but for other torrents:

"openbittorrent.com: Error: "

 

And no downloading or peers are showing.

 

I am using Deluge on Linux.

 

libtorrent: 0.16.11.0

weird, changed nothing and now it's downloading. I guess it takes a while for the system to kick itself going?

Hello - it may have just took a little time to connect - sometimes this happens, it really depends on the tracker.

 

If it fails, try a Netherlands socks5 IP.

holy crap. I thought nl would be slow but I'm getting better speeds than before torguard. Thanks!

Was still getting kind of wonky connections, turns out I just had to turn off NAT-PMP and LSD (local service discovery) in deluge.

Thanks for letting us know! Hope all is now working great

Well I tried adding some torrents remotely and they're just sitting there with no peers or anything like that - I'll be fiddling with toggles when I get home.

Hi - is this using magnet links by any chance ?

Yes, should I be using Torrent files instead?

[Support 158]

I would suggest you use the torrent files instead yes.

 

Many clients have issues with UDP via magnet links.

So, here's the thing. I tried torrent files and I get the same thing. It's not until I change the proxy URL that deluge actually kick-starts the torrent - has anyone had any experience with something like this?

 

Secondarily - I have a router with tomato installed, is there some settings on there I need to tweak? I have opened port 1080 and my torrent ports are all open as well.

 

To recap: Torrents only work if I change the proxy url *after* I add the torrents.

 

If there is any further information you need from me let me know, I can run commands if needed

[Support 158]

Hello - it may be due to the fact that with magnet links it fetches Metadata via UDP which some version of Deluge have an issue with.

 

Just make sure users are about to connect outgoing to port 1080, that should be enough.

Hrm.. OK. I'm going to install deluge from source and install a newer libtorrent: 0.16.11.0. I will report back with results

[Support 158]

Let me know how that goes

I think I have to compile a later deluge than 1.3.6 because it hangs on me, with ssl handshake errors on the deluge server, and even when I run it in classic mode, it still won't initiate torrents properly.

 

I have switched to qbitorrent and it seems to be working just fine.
