Keeps running, does not find any torrents! #145

$ magneticod --node-addr [my ip]:61221 2017-08-21 15:51:59,469 INFO magneticod v0.6.0 started 2017-08-21 15:51:59,475 INFO uvloop is in use 2017-08-21 15:51:59,476 INFO SybilNode [removed] initialized! 2017-08-21 15:51:59,480 INFO SybliNode is launched on ('', 61221)!

Even after an hour nothing happens. magneticow says 0 torrents available.

Checking if the connection is open: $ netstat -lntu udp 0 0 [my ip]:61221 0.0.0.0:*

My VPS shows that bandwidth is being utilized like 1 GB for an hour I wonder what that is...

How could I start to debug this?

twisp007 commented 7 years ago

It was on Manjaro. Now running it on Debian 9. Works fine.

Wonder what's wrong in Manjaro.

Maybe port which was used by magneticod DHT was closed by firewall?

I have a similar problem on Ubuntu 8.10. I only get two torrents. It's been running a while.

farmwald commented 5 years ago

I left it running for the last day or so. Less than 500 torrents so far. Is there a problem with my setup or with the algorithm?

The situation shall be better now that I've implemented BEP 51: DHT Infohash Indexing. But if you still encounter the same issue, there are a few things to check:

  1. It works best on a VPS/dedicated servers from a cloud provider. Your internet connection at home might be insufficient for contacting DHT nodes reliably I am afraid (NAT being an example).
    • You might still check your port forwarding settings to make sure other nodes can access you through UDP.
  2. You would like to disable iptables conntrack for the port you use to prevent EPERM errors (and reduce the load on your machine). See https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico/blob/master/cmd/magneticod/README.md#setup

If the problem persists, please feel free to open a new issue! Closing this one due to age & presuming it's fixed.
