Hey guys,

Not sure if you'd be able to help me but since you deal a lot with this branch of thing maybe you'd know.

So I currently have a setup with 2 seedboxes, one is a RasbPi running on strictly CLI and hosting transmission UI through a VPN, AirVPN which supports VPN port forwarding. The second, is a virtual machine running Ubuntu Server on a bridged connection through virtual box which is also using AirVPN. I have the following ports setup for forwarding on my router.

SSH Server 22
Transmission 9091
AirVPN 2320
VirtualBox 53556
seeders 51413

So the seeders port is the port configured in Transmission webUI for "peer-port": 51413,"

Which I assume is what needs to be allowed. I also have all the above ports forwarded with my VPN to my local network that all works fine. I can SSH, access the webUI so on and so forth.

My problems here is when downloading through the Transmission WebUI it shows my upload ration as 0. I is downloading just fine but as soon as the download finishes there is no upload and there is no upload occurring during either.

I cannot figure this out. I don't have any limits or anything like that on uploading.


I also don't have any iptable rules setup that would drop anything so I'm really not sure why this is happening.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Thank you

I am not certain about anything specific to your software but I would begin by testing to see if dropping any firewalls fixes the error or not. Rule out connectivity issues verse software issues. If it is a firewall issue then start looking at the internal listening ports in netstat compared to what is accessible from an external source with nmap.

Hey,

I actually figured it out. I was just being extremely stupid and not thinking of the founding principle of torrenting. There was nobody downloading what I was seeding. As a result there would be not upload status. LOL.

Thanks though!
