Till now I easily managed to find solutions of my problems just by googling and reading the forums without bothering you...
I need to write my first post...
so hello everyone! :)

I guess I missed sth simple, but I'm struggling with it for a while.
None of my torrent clients is able to connect to any of udp and http trackers.

I'm running:
Code:
piter-pc piter # uname -a
Linux piter-pc 3.8.13-gentoo #1 SMP Fri Jul 19 22:24:34 CEST 2013 x86_64 Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux



Here is detailed output of transmission 2.77:
Code:

As you see I've tried to download latest fedora, downloading starts immediately on windows 7 which is my second system.

qBittorrent finally manages to download a file, but without use of trackers. DHT and probably sth else makes it possible, you know better than me :)

I don't use iptables(it's not even installed).
I did not try rtorrent, because afaik it does not support UPnP, and normally my ports are blocked by local isp.

I know that my post lacks of data, but I don't know what else should I post here...
As you see English is not my native language, hopefully we will understand each other.

I will be very grateful for any hints! :)

Did I forget about some USE flags?




Edit. I've just checked how it works under ubuntu 13.04 livecd.
Everything behaves exactly the same...
Is there any know bug or a problem with amd64 architecture?

I would start to think it's my routers configuration fault, but under windows@bittorrent everything works flawlessly...

Did you follow these instructions?


* Since µTP is enabled by default, transmission needs large kernel buffers for
* the UDP socket. You can append following lines into /etc/sysctl.conf:
* net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
* net.core.wmem_max = 1048576
* and run sysctl -p
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
patrick-hp-d fail2ban # nano -w /etc/sysctl.
sysctl.conf sysctl.d/
patrick-hp-d fail2ban # nano -w /etc/sysctl.conf
patrick-hp-d fail2ban # sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576

Also, go into preferences and 'test' your selected port to see if it is open or closed.
I suspect your router config.

Thanks for the reply.

I have applied your settings.

Code:

piter-pc piter # sysctl -p
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
net.core.rmem_max = 4194304
net.core.wmem_max = 1048576


But it didnt help... Nothing has changed.

My connection looks as follows:
I receive signal via wifi from my isp to tplink router which serves as receiver. There is also my router connected to its builtin switch and I use its switch, radio, qos. Both of them have upnp enabled, but transmission reports port as closed. I have also one port forwarded for ssh on both routers, if I use it transmission says its open, so now I'm using it for testing. For a while I was connected just to my isp's tplink, but it did not changed anything.
Anyway in both cases result is always the same.

I was even messing with net-misc/curl USE flags for a while, still no result.

It's a bit werid... I would also say that's sth with my router is wrong,
but on windows everything works perfectly, on latest ubuntu livecd situation was the same as on gentoo.

Edit. Maybe there is everything ok with the connection?

Code:

 * Connected to torrent.fedoraproject.org (152.19.134.148) port 6969 (#0)


Code:

Accept-Encoding: gzip;q=1.0, deflate, identity


And then:
Code:

* Empty reply from server


What if it wasn't empty,but just decoding went wrong?

I don't think you will find a problem there.

I have started to experience the same problem on windows now...
It turns out that my isp is not blocking anything but instead they are heavily limiting allowed number of connections (to 200).
They say their 2,4GHz wifi system has problem with larger number and suggested me to switch to 5GHz network (which ofc requires additional setup fee)
I see that windows generates less connections, therefore it was harder to observe the problem there.

Mb it's offtopic, but do you know how to easily track what services/daemons generate which connections?
I would like to keep this number as small as possible.


Edit. My router is tplink wr1043nd with gargoyle 1.5.10 on it.

thank you very much.

I will try it :)

Edit.
Switching to a connection with increased allowed number of connections solved the problem.

Thank you for all advices.
