I had the problem. The cause was the client being unauthorized. Adrien H Adrien H 1 1 silver badge 5 5 bronze badges. Most useful for me. Thanks — Valentyn Hruzytskyi.

Perhaps my isp is blocking ? I understand that this is common port for torrenting? That is a very good possibility. Or perhaps you're in a NATed network where something else is using the external port, making you unreachable to the outside world? Many possibilities.

Transmission will automatically optimize the torrent file for what you are sharing. Transmission allows you to sort your torrents by various criteria.

Simply choose a Sort criterion in the View menu. You can also filter your torrents by their activity state. Simply enable the Filter bar in the View menu. Click the Properties icon in the toolbar, or simply double-click any transfer in the main window.

The Properties window gives you: statistics on the torrent and files you are downloading information about the peers and trackers you are connected to options to fine-tune your bandwidth allocation. If you know you are always going to use Transmission for your torrenting, click the "Do this automatically This will make it so that you do not have to go through this step every time.

The Torrent Options window will be the window with focus because you have to actually add the torrent to Transmission before it starts the downloading process. I would not make use of this feature. Once you have enabled all the options you want click Add to start your downloading.

The Options window will disappear leaving only the Transmission main window. Within the Transmission main window you will see your download progress. You can then select the download and click Pause to temporarily halt the download or you can remove the download.

You can even close out transmission and, upon reopening the application the download will resume. Once the torrent is complete you will receive a notice it has finished. Once the download has complete, if you leave Transmission open, you will begin seeding other torrents. By seeding torrents your machine will be used so that others can torrent from you.

If you have a problem with this you should close Transmission immediately. Out of the box, Transmission works like a champ. But there might be some tweaks you'll need for your particular set up. If you go to the Edit menu you will see the Preferences entry.

Click that to get to the the preferences goodies.
