<h1>Why is my download so slow? </h1>
</div>
<p>Read these tips for <a href="Speed.html">maximizing your download speed</a>.
<p>Some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) block traffic on well known peer to peer ports. If this applies to your ISP, try changing the port Transmission uses.
Some ISPs also throttle all peer to peer (esp BitTorrent) traffic, which can slow or even stop your transfers. Protocol encryption is not a feature at the moment, however is slated for a future release.
<p>Ultimately, the speed you get depends on the quality of the peers you are downloading from. If they have dial up connections, you are only going to be able to download at dial up speeds.
Furthermore, if there are few seeds and many peers, more people will be fighting for the same scarce pieces which will slow things down.
Best results are achieved when the torrent has more seeds than peers.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>Why isn't my torrent downloading at all? </h1>
</div>
<p>Normally this is because the tracker is down, and thus Transmission is unable to interact with other peers. DHT (trackerless torrents) is not a feature at the moment, however is slated for a future release.
<p>If there are no seeders in the swarm, and all the other peers have sent you what they have, you (and everyone else) will not be able to complete the download, and your speed will drop to zero.
<p>Torrents take a while to get going and so may not download much (if at all) initially. Most torrents are downloading at some rate after 15 or so minutes.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>Transmission crashed, what should I do? </h1>
</div>
<p>Post the crash log on the <a href="http://transmission.m0k.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=2">support forums</a> so that the issue can be fixed as quickly as possible. Crash logs are held in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
<p>If your torrents' progress are incorrect when you reopen Transmission (eg they are starting from 0%) then you should manually recheck them. <a href="check.html">Click here</a> for instructions.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What is PEX? </h1>
</div>
<p>PEX (Peer Exchange) is a method of discovering new peers via other peers, rather than the tracker. It allows Transmission to attach to the swarm much quicker.
PEX is automatically disabled for privately tracked torrents.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>Why can I only connect to around 60 peers? </h1>
</div>
<p>This is a constraint imposed on Transmission, as more than this number is unnecessary. A global limit is set at 200 peers.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What is Growl? </h1>
</div>
<p>Growl is a notification system. Lots of applications can interface with it.<br>
<a href="http://growl.info">http://growl.info</a>
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What do the colors mean in the advanced progress bar/pieces box? </h1>
</div>
<p><font color="blue">Blue</font>: we have this piece <br>
<font color="gray">Gray/White</font>: no connected peers have this piece <br>
<font color="green">Green</font>: connected peers have this piece (the darker the green, the more there are) <br>
<p>The fine, dark blue line on top of the bar shows the global progression, while the green line following it shows how much of the remaining download is actually available.<br>
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What are seeds/peers/leechers? </h1>
</div>
<p>Peers are people you are connected to. If they have the whole file and are only uploading, they are referred to as a 'seeder'. If they only have part of the torrent, and are downloading and uploading, they are referred to as a 'leecher'.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What is the ratio shown during seeding? </h1>
</div>
<p>This shows your upload/download ratio. 1.00 means you have uploaded as much as you have downloaded, 2.00 means you have uploaded twice the amount you have downloaded, etc.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What are 'nightlies'?</h1>
</div>
<p>'Nightlies' are releases on the bleeding edge of development. They normally contain new features and bugfixes, but are not officially supported (although you are more than welcome to discuss them on the Transmission forums). You can try one out <a href="http://transmission.bogg.org/">here</a>.

<h1>How do I maximize my download speed?</h1>
</div>
<ol>
<li>Make sure Transmission's <a href="portforward.html">port is forwarded</a>. Port forwarding makes it easier for others to connect to you, which therefore increases your speed.
<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
<p>If your router supports UPnP or you have Apple Airport, Transmission can do this automatically; just tick the checkbox in Preferences >> Network.
</div>
</li>
<li>Make sure you cap your upload speed, so that it isn't flooded. A good rule of thumb is about 60-70% of your maximum upload bandwidth. This can be adjusted in Preferences >> Bandwidth, or in real time using the Action menu.
<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
<p>eg. If your upload connection is 256 Kilobits/sec, then you should cap it at 21 KB/sec ((<b>256</b> / 8) * 0.66 = <b>21</b>).
</div>
</li>
<li><a href="gettingstarted.html">Queue</a> your transfers. Transmission's queue preferences are located in Transfers >> Management.
<p>Remember, your download speed is proportional to how fast you upload. If there are many transfers running, then each transfer will only receive a small proportion of your upload bandwidth, reducing their respective download speeds.
To avoid spreading your upload too thinly, a good rule of thumb is to have at least 128 KBit/sec of upload bandwidth for every torrent you wish to run simultaneously.
<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
<p>eg. If your upload bandwidth is 256 KBit/sec, then you should only have two (<b>256</b>/128 = <b>2</b>) downloading transfers in the queue.

<p>Transmission is a BitTorrent client. It is used for peer to peer filesharing over the internet. BitTorrent is a fast way of transferring files, because everyone who downloads must also upload to others. This means speeds are only limited by the number of people connected to a given torrent - the more people the better!

You can even set a priority (green/high or orange/low) to each file, if you want some to finish faster than others. To do so, use the selector that appears next to the checkboxes.
<p>If you are frequently going to selectively download the files in your torrents, you might want to disable "Start Transfers when added" in Preferences >> Transfers >> Management.
This way you can organise your transfer before it starts, to avoid wasting download bandwidth.

<p>Make sure the OS X firewall is either disabled, or you have <a href="pffirewall.html">allowed Transmission's port</a>.
The firewall can cause the port to remain closed, even if it has been successfully mapped by the router.
<p>If you have multiple routers in your home network, you must forward Transmission's port on all of them, otherwise it will continue to show up as closed.
Transmission can only automatically port map the router the computer is directly connected to. Any others in between this router and your modem will have to be <a href="pfrouter.html">forwarded manually</a>.

<h1>Portforwarding a Router</h1>
</div>
<p>In this case, it is probably OK to disable the OS X firewall, as you are already being protected by the router. To disable the firewall, open System Prefs >> Sharing >> Firewall. Click Stop.
<p>To forward a port in your router manually:
<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
<ol>
<li>Find out what your IP address is. 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. It's probably something like 192.168.1.100, or 10.0.1.2.</li>
<li>Open Transmission, go to preferences, and enter a number for the port. It is recommended you pick a random number between 49152 and 65535. Let's use 50001 for now. Then quit Transmission.</li>
<li>Go into your router configuration screen. Normally this is done via your web browser using the address <a href="http://192.168.0.1">192.168.0.1</a> etc.
<br>NB: Apple's Airport uses an application called 'Airport Admin Utility' to configure it.</li>
<li>Find the port forwarding (sometimes called port mapping) screen. While the page will be different for each router generally you will enter something similar to the following:</li>
<ul>
<li>For 'Application' type 'Trans'. </li>
<li>For 'Start Port' and 'End port' type in the port you chose in Step 2. eg 50001. </li>
<li>For Protocol, choose Both. </li>
<li>For IP address, type in your IP address you found in Step 1. eg 10.0.1.2. </li>
<li>Check Enable. </li>
<li>Click save settings. </li>
</ul>
</ol>
<p>For more comprehensive instructions specific to your router, <a href="http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm">click here</a> and choose your router from the list.
<p>
</div>
<p>If you find yourself having to change your router settings all the time, a static IP address might be beneficial.
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>What is a static IP?</h1>
</div>
<p>Where your computer is assigned an IP address which does not change. This can be helpful if you have a laptop or have multiple computers on your network. While it makes things a bit simpler, you don't have to have a static IP for BitTorrent or Port Forwarding to work.
<p>A dynamic IP address assigned by your wireless router for example will most likely not change unless you reboot your computer, or leave and rejoin the network. Thus, having a static IP isn't really necessary, especially if your router supports UPnP.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>How do I get a static IP address?</h1>
</div>
<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
<ol>
<li>Go to System Prefs >> Network, double-click on your connection (for instance, Built-in Ethernet), and click the TCP/IP tab.
<li>Write down the IP, Subnet Mask and Router addresses.
<li>Go to your router 'status' page via your web browser (Airport Admin Utility if you are using an Airport BS), and write down the DNS Server addresses. Alternatively, you can enter your router's internal IP (e.g. 192.168.0.1). This is sometimes quicker, as it refers to the router instead of the server.
<li>Then, return to the TCP/IP page in System Prefs.
<li>Choose "Manually" from the Configure IPv4 drop down menu.
<li>Enter the IP address you wish to have, eg 192.168.0.100, or 10.0.1.100. It should be of a similar format to the IP address you found in step 2, with only the last number changing.
<br>NB: You cannot have a static IP address that's within the DHCP range. Thus it is recommended that you make the last digit of your address large enough to discount this possibility, like we have done in our examples.
<li>Fill in the other boxes using the addresses you wrote down in steps 2 and 3.
<li>Click 'Apply Now'.

<h1>Why do I see a red dot and "Port is closed"?</h1>
</div>
<p>You haven't port forwarded correctly. Port forwarding opens a port in your firewall or router so that incoming connections from the outside world can be made with Transmission.
If the port is forwarded, other people in the torrent can see you, thus increasing your potential number of connections, which more importantly, may increase the speed of your download.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>When do I need to Port Forward?</h1>
</div>
<p>If you share your internet connection with a router, or if your broadband modem is a router itself, then you will need to forward Transmission's port by following the instructions below.
In addition, if you have enabled the Mac OS X firewall, you will need to open a port in that too. See below for details.

<h1>UPnP</h1>
</div>
<p>If the port mapping is unsuccessful and you have a UPnP compatible router, make sure:
<ul>
<li>UPnP is enabled. Consult your router's documentation for instructions. If your router doesn't support UPnP, you will have to forward <a href="pfrouter.html">manually</a>.</li>
<li>DMZ mode is disabled.</li>
<li>The port has not already been forwarded manually.
</ul>
<p>If you are still having problems, open the Message Log (in the Window menu) and post the debug output on the <a href="http://transmission.m0k.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=2">support forums</a>.
Make sure you pause your torrents first; then clear the log, and toggle "Automatically forward port". Post this output.

<h1>Airport</h1>
</div>
<p>If you have an Apple Airport, make sure NAT-PMP is enabled. To do this:
<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
<ol>
<li>Open Airport Admin Utility</li>
<li>Select your base station and click "Configure".</li>
<li>In the "AirPort" tab, click "Base Station Options...".</li>
<li>In the "Ethernet Port Security" tab, check the "Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol" checkbox.</li>
<li>Click "OK".</li>
<li>Click "Update".
<p>NB: NAT-PMP requires MacOS X 10.4 Tiger, as well as up to date Airport software and firmware.</li>

<h1>Managing your transfers </h1>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Torrent files contain information about the actual file you want to download (eg a movie), and connect you to the swarm of peers sharing it.</li>
<li>Transmission can watch a certain folder (eg your Safari download folder) for torrent files and then open them automatically via Preferences >> Transfers >> General.</li>
<li>By default, Transmission deletes the original torrent file upon opening. If you remove a transfer, in order to resume it you will need to reopen the original torrent file in Transmission.
Simply choose 'Save a Torrent Copy as' from the File menu before deletion to avoid having to download the torrent file again.</li>
<li>Once your download is complete, you can set a default ratio to automatically seed to, and then pause.
This can be adjusted in Preferences >> Transfers >> Management, or in real time using the Action menu.</li>
<li>Both seeding and downloading transfers can be queued, and Transmission can skip over stalled transfers, in order to maximise queuing efficiency.
Queuing can be configured in Preferences >> Transfers >> Management.</li>
</ul>
