Thread: rutorrent 3.2 Portforwarding issue?

My seedbox downloads with amazing speeds of up to 55MB/s, but the download speed sucks (<1MB/s).
I have seen it uploading with about 50MB/s once, but I was also downloading at the same it.
I am basically not connected to the tracker, therefore I have most of the time 0(0) peers/seeds.



On a normal client I would suggest to enable portforwarding, but I don't think it's possible to enable portforwarding on a VPS or it is already enabled. I hope someone has an idea to solve my problem.

I also contacted the support of my provider, because of this issue, and they are setting my up on another server as soon as they get new nodes. (What if I have the same problem there?)

Thanks in advance.

You can port forward in a VPS by using the iptables but it's really not needed. At least in most cases. Maybe try different port ranges in the .rtorrent.rc file? Something like 55000-61100 and random port enabled.

I have already checked the iptables to see if every important port is enabled and I couldn't find any issues.
My rtutorrent came preconfigured with random port enabled in this port range, but I has never worked.
Thanks for the input, Freeman_ nonetheless.
Does anybody have an idea what is wrong, because I would really like to know how to solve this problem?
