<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.
<p>
<div id="pagetitle">
<h1>Why do I need to Port Forward?</h1>
</div>
<p>Transmission uses a single port for all the torrents you are downloading. If the port has not been opened (ie forwarded) that means only you can make connections to others in the swarm.
If the port is forwarded, others can connect to you, thus increasing the potential number of people connected to you, and more importantly increasing the speed of your download.

<ul>
<li>If you have an Apple Airport, or a UPnP compatible router, Transmission can map its port automatically. Most routers manufactured since 2001 have this feature.
<div summary="To do this" id="taskbox">
<ol>
<li>Open Transmission. </li>
<li>Go to Preferences >> Network, and check 'Automatically map port'. </li>
<li>You should see a success notification and green dots.</li>
<p>If you get a red dot and the message 'Error mapping port', <a href="upnp.html">click here</a>.</li>
</ol>
