Bug: Transmission not downloading anything

varac commented 1 year ago

Is this urgent?

Yes

Host OS

Debian Bookworm / K3s v1.27.4+k3s1

CPU arch

x86_64

VPN service provider

ProtonVPN

What are you using to run the container

Kubernetes

What is the version of Gluetun

Self-built image from commit 1ac031e (HEAD of today)

What's the problem 🤔

Transmission can't download anything, I tried with a Ubuntu 23.04 torrent:

Trackers can be reached, the number of seeders/leachers is shown
Yet no download happens
Port-forwarding works, see my comment on #1488

I also tried Deluge with the same outcome. Any help would be appreciated !

Things I also tried without success:

I also ran the port-checker inside the transmission container as documented in VPN server port forwarding docs, and could connect to it from outside properly.
I tried ProtonVPN in tcp mode

Sorry I cannot help much; the connectivity is working (it doesn't log it's unhealthy), and as you've shown port forwarding works too.

In my Mullvad+Wireguard+Deluge experience, it can take a good 1-2 minutes to get started downloading (no idea why either), have you tried leaving it for a few minutes? You could also try exec-ing in the transmission container and check it's well connected to gluetun (i..e kubectl exec transmission wget -qO- https://ipinfo.io). Otherwise maybe worth asking the transmission community? 🤔

Good luck!
