TRANSMISSION FOR MAC PORT CLOSED DOWNLOAD

Neither disabling NAT nor UPnP had any effect (those were my first thoughts about the likely culprit), but turning off the ipSec PassThrough option sure did, with the upshot that Safari and Transmission are not only playing nicely together again, but Transmission’s download speeds have markedly improved. 🙂

In my router, I found a bunch of firewall and network protocols (see the first screenshot below). However, it is not available on all VPN servers, depending on the legal regulations that are. Kbps that is pretty much close to 1000Kbps that you are paying for i.e. Once you’re in your router’s admin pages, look for Advanced network settings. Note: Port Forwarding can increase download speed when torrenting. Thus using a random port from the dynamic port range will generally help. Typically, this will be something like 192.168.1.1, but if you’re not sure, you can find your router’s IP using my free utility ‘ FastTasks‘. To do this, quit Transmission if it’s running, then enter your router’s IP address in Safari’s search bar. Now there are a number of reasons this can happen, but since I knew nothing had changed except my router since the last time Transmission was successfully used, I decided to go check out some of the router’s settings. Looking in Transmission’s preferences ‘Network’ pane revealed that the port was either closed (red button) or the port could not be checked (yellow button). Killing Transmission would immediately restore Safari’s connectivity. Basically, Safari would just get stuck half way into loading a page and eventually timeout. However, when I recently fired up Transmission, I found that not only were my downloads not so fast as I’d normally expect, but that all internet browsing was completely throttled.

Interestingly enough, I didn't forward any extra ports to transmission and my GUI says that it's peer port of 24528 (random I guess) is open. For example, your network might resemble the following: ADSL modem/router -> Netgear router -> Ubuntu laptop. I know transmission's default peer-port is 51413 so I'm not sure why the GUI would report it closed for you. Not so long ago I bought a new router, and everything was working fine. Another possible reason your port remains closed could be because your router is not the only device on the network which needs to be configured.

I don’t often get into 3rd-party software or non-Mac hardware issues, but here’s a little trick I discovered today that could prevent a situation that adversely affects Safari and other network software.
