transmission not working

[chimnya123]

hi i m running fatdog64 721from pendrive. i have also created savefile on my hdd.when i use transmission to download any torrent thru magnet link it does not start download even if there are seeders and leechers.i have googled the issue and according to that i have ticked 'pick a random port everytime' box in 'preferences'-'network tab' also.then i added extra trackers also from 'add tracker url.'but 'property' tab shows no peers and under the tracker tab all connections getting failed.
then i have tried ctorrent (which is another bittorrent client )from terminal emulator also, but it isn't working either.
so is fatdog not allowing me to download any torrents?
i don't understand the problem pl help me

Hi friend,
I think you may need to tinker with Fatdog's Firewall.

But I am not sure.
Try asking in Fatdog's thread.

Hi drunkjd,I untick 'eztables firewall' from 'control panel' and disabled it , now transmission working fine.so now I have to configure rules in firewall cfg file.do you have configured them? FAQs in fatdog menu shows some of rules and examples but, as i m not expert I don't fully understand that. So for allowing transmission thru firewall what should I do?

[drunkjedi]

I have not configured the firewall, I don't know much about it.
Ask on fatdog's thread.

Try these in a console

Code: Select all

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -p udp --dport 51413 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --sport 51413 -j ACCEPT

hi trapster , thanx for helping me
i tried above commands in consol and then i enabled firewall, but -no luck .also i first enabled firewall and then tried these commands, but again -no luck
when i go to transmission/preferences/network/port for incoming peers- 'test port '51413 (or any no.) then its showing me 'port is closed'
what can i do

Hey chimnya123,
It would be easier for trapster to help you if you post the output of command

Code: Select all

iptables -L -n

With the firewall running, so that he will know all the rules set.

Also I think you should untick the 'pick a random port everytime' box in 'preferences'-'network tab' of transmission, and let it use the port 51413 as in the commands given by trapster.
I am just guessing here. All that stuff goes over my head.

Hey Chimanya123,

Did you by any chance restart eztables after executing the commands trapster gave?
That would revert the changes made.

I don't use fatdog and I'm not sure of the formatting for the firewall cfg file.

Look at what I posted and some of the examples for the cfg file. You should see a pattern
