You can find your computer's IP address by going to System Prefs > Network, double-clicking on your connection (for instance, Built-in Ethernet), and clicking the TCP/IP tab. To forward a port in your router manually:įind out what your IP address is. To disable the firewall, open System Prefs > Sharing > Firewall. In this case, it is probably OK to disable the OS X firewall, as you are already being protected by the router.
Straight from the Transmission Help files:
If anyone can help me with these questions I'd be very grateful. I do realise that speeds will obviously differ depending on the time of day, number of seeders etc, but it doesn't seem right that it should drop so drastically low and never get any higher again.Īlso - when I was getting the high download speeds, I could still use my browser, MSN etc as normal, but I've noticed that now it takes an extremely long time to load a web page (and sometimes fails) and I can't log on to MSN while I'm running Transmission. I now know that it is possible for me to achieve good speeds (of around the 200kbps mark, which is more than enough for me) but unfortunately I seem to have lost them now, having only ever had them once. should I be adjusting this? I'm sure I read somewhere a while ago that if you increase your max upload speed then your download speed will increase, generally. Transmission was automatically set to limit upload speeds to 20kbps and not to limit download speeds. Does this sound like a correct set up?Īlso, should I have the 'automatically map port' option checked? I can't remember if this was checked when I was getting the high download speeds. It says that the port is open, and has a green light next to it. I have configured my port forwarding to 12700, on my router's configuration page, and set this in the preferences of Transmission.
I have noticed, however, that the number of peers is still the same, so I'm confused as to why the speed should have lowered so much. a couple of hours) I was actually downloading a torrent at around 200kbps, which is really very fast for me, however since then it has dropped to very low speeds, normally between 4 and 20kbps.
Basically when using Transmission, for a little while (ie. I'm still a little unsure if I am just doing something wrong that should be staring me in the face. Hi, thanks everyone for your replies, much appreciated.
