Local peers getting disconnected

[linuxlover]

Hi,

My ISP supports caching and local peering of torrents. In peered/cached torrents I get speeds upto 11MB/s.

Problem is for the last few days when I start a torrent I see several local peers as usual, some are at 100% that is they have completed downloading and are now seeding while others are still downloading. Immediately I see a speed boost but it lasts only for a few seconds.

I see my download rate decreasing and the local peers keeps moving downward in the peer list and finally they are just gone and as a result download speed reverts back to my line speed which is pretty slow.

How to troubleshoot this ?

Manjaro Linux / qBittorrent v 3.1.9

Does qBT's logger show that they've been banned for some reason?

Nope.

I guess this was happening because of some network problem. Its not occurring anymore. Although I have noticed that this issue keeps coming back.

I tried to use the "add a new peer" feature but problem is qBT's peer list doesn't  show which port the peer is using so I am getting a bit confused.

I am also facing another issue. After creating a private torrent when I am seeding it I  am getting "No incoming connection" with the yellow icon. I have opened port 6881.

Code: Select all

Starting Nmap 6.46 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-07-15 15:28 IST
Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.2
Host is up (0.00053s latency).
Not shown: 999 closed ports
PORT     STATE SERVICE
6881/tcp open  bittorrent-tracker

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.28 seconds

After restarting qBT several times it turns green (online) without implementing any configuration changes.

If you think a new thread is necessary for this I will create one.

Thanks.

I have opened port 6881.

Do not use port 6881, it is the "well known" port used for BitTorrent so is most likely to be blocked by ISPs.

Port changed.
