Ubuntu – Transmission won’t connect to any peers

12.10bittorrentnetworkingtransmission

After my upgrade from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to 12.10, Transmission won't download from an anti-leech tracker (ALT). If I download a torrent via Magnet Link, everything works fine, but if I download from that ALT, it doesn't.

The tracker will return OK and also return the List of Seeders and Leechers (each greater than 20), but no peers to download from are returned. Everything worked fine previous to the upgrade.

For testing purposes I downloaded KTorrent. The same occured there.

I had Transmission running for as long as 10 hours and no success.

My port is open and even if the firewall is disabled, this still happens.

It seems the best solution to your problem is to delete the ~/Library/Application Support/Transmission/Resume folder. I've looked at a few threads and everyone seems to have arrived at that answer. To see more information, look here.
