Initially it said port is closed, now it says port check site is down. I can download fine, but I cannot upload. When I disabled the VPN the port shows as open. I have absolutely no idea how to fix that. The last two weeks, though it always says port closed, it continues to seed at a good pace -- but apparently onto to some leechers, not to some others. Is Transmission aware or interested in this problem?

Does anyone from Transmission read this forum? You would know if you had one; you have to buy a subscription. It is not like a router, but I advise you research it and get one if you plan on torrenting. You are putting yourself at risk by torrenting without a VPN. Here is an explanation of why you still have some connections with a closed port: The short answer to the question: YES, you can seed with closed port too. If the port is closed that only means you can't accept incoming connections, but you can still connect to peers who accept connections.

In torrent terminology they say that you are in passive mode. If your port would be open then you would be able to accept connections too. In torrent terminology this is called active mode. So it works like this: A client in passive mode can connect to a client which is in active mode, but not to a client which is in passive mode. A client in active mode can connect to both active and passive clients. So if your port is closed that only means you can't connect to other peers with closed ports.

That means that you may get less peers and because of that worse speed. But if the torrent is frequent and there are lot of peers your client will likely be able to find enough active peers to max out your connection. If the torrent has few peers then it is likely that with active mode you would get much better speed.

Actually non of the peers would be able to do anything as everyone is passive, you will have to wait until an active peer comes in.
