• When it comes down to downloading Torrents on the web, for many, uTorrent is the best software for the job. It’s been around for years and trusted by many despite competition from all angles.
• The torrent file is not the content; instead, it leads you to the file that you want to download. A quick online search can point you in the right direction about where to find torrent files. You can open a torrent file but it is just multiple lines with directions.
• After telling Myfastfile to download a torrent for you, you will have around 3 to 6 days (always different for some reason) to download the file to your computer safely and without letting anyone know. Download torrents even faster! When you download a torrent, you are usually automatically downloading it from multiple sources at the same time.

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

To fix Utorrent not downloading problem, you need a radical solution which is changing from using Utorrent to Vuze program. Honestly i faced this problem in 2014 and i tried almost all the solutions but none of them worked for me.

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 switched to port 57558 and it now functions. I'm not sure if this is a long-term solution, but in any case shows that this is network issue and not something related to transmission.Thanks everyone for their help.

I've changed the setting peer-port-random-on-start from false to true. That did the trick for me(transmission-daemon).

I was facing the same issue. Changed the peer-port-random-on-start to true as suggested. Still was unable to download. Checked on some of the other forums & found a tool called 'deluge'. Installed it on my Ubuntu 16.10 machine & the downloads are working fine now. Wonder what was the issue with transmission.

Torrents Not Downloading Utorrent

Below is the link to install deluge on Ubuntu 16.10 :

I have AT&T at home and I was messing around with my router. I have always had the NetBIOS protocol turn off, but I had disabled the All Other Protocols option on my system. It appears that Transmission used one of the vague protocols with my router. As soon as I re-enabled it, I was able to get Transmission to work for me.

HTTP
HTTPS
FTP Telnet
SMTP
DNS
NetBIOS
POP3
IMAP
NNTP
IRC H323
All Other Protocols

Torrents Not Downloading On My Android

I had the problem.The cause was the client being unauthorized.

To solve the issue, I changed the settings:

1. Stop daemon: sudo service transmission-daemon stop
2. Edit the settings: sudo vim /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json (replace vim with your favourite text editor)
3. Unrequire authentication: 'rpc-authentication-required': false
4. Whitelist localhost: 'rpc-whitelist': '127.0.0.1'
5. 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:

Pirate Bay

'download-dir': '/var/lib/transmission-daemon/Downloads'
