Fix to problems with torrents not downloading with transmission on Debian unstable and Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009

There is a problem on Ubuntu Jaunty and Debian unstable with torrents not downloading with
the default torrent downloader transmission. I’ve noticed in transmission’s configuration files
it’s configured to use a port for “Incoming Connections” with number 51413. Anyways my machine is
behind a router and has a local IP address and consequently is not accessible through
the outside world on that port. Therefore I had to configure my router to do
port redirect (port forwarding) of port 51413, that fixed my torrents download
issues on my Linux.
