The problem was that with the version that I have of qBittorrent 4.6.3, it doesn't work if you choose Start seeding immediately. I removed the torrent, and added the file it was created manually, and with that it is working. I haven't tried this until now, as I was expecting auto to work and didn't seen any reason to try it manually.
One method is an evil peer which claims to be seeding the whole file. However, instead of returning valid data, it returns garbage. The clients won't notice this until they received the whole chunk and verified the checksum, which means that they wasted time and bandwidth. Another variant is to accept all requests, but then not send any data at all until the connection times out.
At the same time, the bogus peers request chunks from legitimate seeds even though they don't need them. This takes up bandwidth and connection slots which would otherwise be available to legitimate peers.
This can not be prevented tracker-sided, because each of these interactions is directly between peers. A mechanism for reporting such abusive peers to the tracker or a 3rd party would be counter-productive because it could be abused by the malicious peers to accuse legit peers and knock them off the network. The only possible countermeasure is to have the bit torrent client identify the IP addresses of malicious peers and block any connections with them.
It's also worth noting that a lot of the attacks merely slow down the download, they don't prevent it. Also if there are already plenty of other peers it's possible your bad peer might not get chosen to download content from.
If you are concerned about copyrighted or illegal material being distributed via BitTorrent, a more effective technique appears to be monitoring the IP addresses of who is in the swarm available to download from and taking legal action against those addresses. This appears to be the most effective phase of counter-measures against unauthorised distribution of material.
I want to use the old nettop on x86 Atom as a small home NAS. But I need a working torrent client. Tell me, please, which version of OMV should I choose so that I can install the transmission there as a plugin? I understand that you can just install linux and configure everything according to the instructions, but I don't really want to, to be honest.
If you aren't too concerned about ratio or setting any of the specifics the downloader plugin does support aria2c, so you can just point it at a .torrent (or I think magnet) url and it seems to work. I don't know how it handles ratios or figuring out when to "stop." I also don't know think you can feed it any kind of login info, but If all you care about is getting a download though it seems to generally work.
I can confirm that an Intel D945GCLF board (c.2008) with an Atom 230 (single core, 1.6 GHz) with 2 GB RAM can run OMV 5 or OMV 6, with Docker containers for Transmission, qBittorrent and Deluge without any problem. Runs very well actually.
I had problems initially, and I had to read a lot and try things for myself, but I really do recommend learning how to use Docker. It makes deploying, maintaining and updating containers really easy once you get the hang of it.
I am absolutely novice with the Bittorrent protocols and I tried to request a file to a tracker.To do this, I parsed and printed a working .torrent file with a C# program, then I just requested the tracker with these infos with PostMan
I have downloaded many times using bit torrent. But it seems to not work now. I have Nordvpn and wondered if maybe they changed something. I have Ubuntu 18 on this computer and have tried qb and transfer. I have Ubuntu 20 on the other computer and it has transfer on it. I tried to download a file that was "trending" so it had a lot of seeds but still nothing. Any ideas what could be causing things to no longer work?
Thanks.
whenever i click the option of "delete .torrent" (right click a downloaded file > Remove and > delete .torren+Data). The downloaded file was deleted, but the .torrent file is not deleted. I go check in the "downloading" pane, i see that torrent file (of the deleted file) is showing there, treated as a new download again. I tried to find the location of that torrent file by right clicking that "download task", I can't find the location of the torrent. I might have to look very carefully in my "downloaded torrents" folder. more than 1000 files are there. currently i can only choose to stop the download process. I don't know whether a temp file in file size of the target file would be created. that would be a waste to my HDD space.
I need to clear the downloaded files. I tried to clear the files. but this removing "torrent data and torrents file" function are not working properly. I wish the developers could look into this. fix this if it is a real issue.
so is it not convenient. I desired to remove the data file, and the source torrent file. but that function would not remove the source .torrent. I have impression the uTorrent of past version can remove the .torrent with this function.
uTorrent provides an convenient function to execute the download job of any .torrent files placed in a folder, and changed the file extension to .torrent.loaded. When the data file of that .torrent is removed. I think it is illogical it would execute by itself a download job of a ".torrent.loaded" file. something is not right.
Just received a mail from ISP for copyright infringement due to torrent download. I have blocked P2P and bit torrent in application control still the traffics pass through the firewall. I checked by changing the port number randomly in Transmission
I tried it is still passing through. I am checking the logs, It is detecting the traffic as P2P and application as BitTorrent but still the traffic is passing through. Any clue how this is happening ?
Ok ! this has been resolved now. The deep inspection didn't save but adding the signatures manually did. I dont know if this is a bug because when we block p2p on the whole it shouldn't have allowed the traffic but when I added the signatures manually it did block them. HTH
I am running version 5.4.3 on a FortiGate 500D and I am experiencing the exact same issue with the exact same workaround. Blocking the P2P category is not blocking BitTorrent, you do have to manually add the BitTorrent signature to the Application Sensor that your firewall policy is using.
I actually find it quite disturbing that FortiNet has not yet resolved this issue as I'm sure one of the first things many organizations do, is block P2P traffic and assume that is will block BitTorrent. I too received an email from our ISP regarding copyright infringement and that is the only reason why we discovered this bug. It worked just fine in version 5.2.x.
The reason is pseudo IM/P2P rules attributes are loaded from IPS/AppCtrl databases, but the IPS engine does not encode it correctly for FOS, so FOS get empty attributes for those rules. The matched mantis bug is #397707

I have the same problem I had no problem untill a week back but now when I click on a magnet link, apart from a line of text that shows up at the botom of the page nothing else happens, ie the page that normaly opens up does not apear howether if I copy the page link into internet explorer and click on the link then it works as it used to, as I prefer google crome I would like to fix the problem anyone got any sugestions.
Problem: I had this problem too, apparently when you use split screen, the "Bittorrent" "remembers" where the accept dialog were last time so when you open a new torrent after rebooting in another screen it fails on pop-ing it up so its automatically saves to the "Hidden" label, sometimes not downloading it and doing a lot of problems...
I've been having the same trouble for near two weeks now as well. It still won't let me start new downloads. The above solution states to drag your bittorrent to the other screen. I have only had one screen the entire time so I'm not sure if that is an accurate solution.
Thanks bugmenot. I also recently changed my monitors around, literally switched them over, nothing else and soon after I found that my torrents were not opening in bittorrent. I tried what you suggested, deleting the settings file but that didnt help. Alls I did to fix it was to make my other monitor the main screen rather than the extended screen and it worked.
I've been trying to get a script to run using transmissions "Script torrent done" feature, but nothing ever works. I've done a chmod +x on the script as well as a chown user:group /myscript that is the same user:group as defined in /etc/config/transmission, but nothing ever works. I've resorted to just referencing the script in /etc/crontabs/root file on a 1 minute timer but after years of doing it this way, its starting to have negative effects with other programs I'm using and creating unnecessary CPU load.
My question is if there is something i'm missing or some guide to implementing my script correctly into transmission because I've googled this countless times and the search results are always irrelevant to the platform, usage, or my inquiry about troubleshooting the "Script torrent done" script.
I'm starting to remember why I said forget this feature and just put this script into crontabs 10 years ago. This feature simply don't work for me and infuriates me because everyone has a solution that doesn't work for me.
