I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04 and then installed Transmission 2.94 since it worked fine on my 18.04.

It wasn't downloading so I searched and found that sudo ufw status verbose returned that it was Inactive.

So I enabled it with sudo ufw enable

Still not working. I looked in transmission and tested the port 51413, told me it was closed. I opened it with sudo ufw allow 51413

Tested again and it tells me it's Open now.

But it doesn't work with magnet links or by downloading the .torrent.

Any idea ?

Result of sudo ufw status verbose :

brian@PC:~$ sudo ufw status verbose
État : actif
Journalisation : on (low)
Par défaut : deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed)
Nouveaux profils : skip

Try ticking the "Pick a random port every time Transmission is started" box and restarting Transmission. You could try testing whether that worked by using the official Ubuntu torrents.

  • Tried that, doesn't work either. When I restart it, the port is usually closed and I can't think of manually check if it's open or not and then open it up every time. But yes, if there is no solution, I'll pick another torrent client.
