rtorrent does not connect to peers #61

Closed wgehalo closed 5 years ago

wgehalo commented 5 years ago

Hi. I really appreciate the effort you've put into making this guide. I've gotten everything working except for some reason my torrent will not connect to any peers.

I see plenty of seeds connected, and can see peers listed, but it never connects. I have the port forwarded in my router, and when I check it via rutorrent it says it's open.

I'm not sure what is causing this.

My environment is: Virtual Box running on Windows 10 using Ubuntu Server 18.10, using a bridged adapter pointing to my network adapter which is connected to a router running OpenWRT.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After further investigation I believe the issue may be related to file permissions. I ran ls -l on the data directory and it's owned by root. Even after running the chown command to change it to the media user, it stays as root. I suspect this is due to it being a shared drive in virtual box. I can access the drive from windows and must mount it on booting. I'm going to look more into this.

Definitely related to that. I couldn't figure out how to get it to work with mounted shared drive yet, however creating a native directory is working fine.
