Port forwarding opens a port in your firewall or router so that incoming connections from the outside world can be made with Transmission. 28 41 29 <p> 30 31 <div id="pagetitle"> 42 43 <p> 44 45 46 <div id="pagetitle"> 47 32 48 33 49 <h1>Why do I need to Port Forward?</h1> 34 50 35 </div> 51 52 </div> 53 36 54 37 55 <p>Transmission uses a single port for all the torrents you are downloading. If the port has not been opened (ie forwarded) that means only you can make connections to others in the swarm. 38 56 57 39 58 If the port is forwarded, others can connect to you, thus increasing the potential number of people connected to you, and more importantly increasing the speed of your download. 40 59 41 <p> 42 43 <div id="pagetitle"> 60 61 <p> 62 63 64 <div id="pagetitle"> 65 44 66 45 67 <h1>How do I Port Forward?</h1> 46 68 47 </div> 69 70 </div> 71 48 72 49 73 <ul> 50 74 75 51 76 <li>If you have an Apple Airport, or a UPnP compatible router, Transmission can map its port automatically. Most routers manufactured since 2001 have this feature. 52 77 78 53 79 <div summary="To do this" id="taskbox"> 54 80 81 55 82 <ol> 56 83 84 57 85 <li>Open Transmission. </li> 58 86 87 59 88 <li>Go to Preferences >> Network, and check 'Automatically map port'. </li> 60 89 90 61 91 <li>You should see a success notification and green dots.</li> 62 92 93 63 94 <p>If you get a red dot and the message 'Error mapping port', <a href="upnp.html">click here</a>.</li> 64 95 96 65 97 </ol> 66 98 99 67 100 </div> 68 101 102 69 103 70 104 105 71 106 <li>If you don't have a compatible router, it is simple to forward Transmission's port manually.

For instructions <a href="pffirewall.html">click here</a>.<br> 113 Keep in mind that many DSL modems also function as routers, and hence port forwarding as per above may still be necessary, even though your computer is directly connected to the modem.<br> 114 76 115 77 116 NB: it is highly recommended you enable the Mac OS X firewall if you are not using a router.</li> 78 117 118 79 119 </ul> 80 120 121 81 122 82 123 83 <p> 84 85 <div id="pagetitle"> 124 125 <p> 126 127 128 <div id="pagetitle"> 129 86 130 87 131 <h1>How do I know if I've done it right?</h1> 88 132 89 </div> 133 134 </div> 135 90 136 91 137 92 138 139 93 140 <div summary="To do this" id="taskbox"> 94 141 142 95 143 <ol> 96 144 145 97 146 <li>Open Transmission. </li> 98 147 148 99 149 <li>Go to Preferences >> Network. </li> 100 150 151 101 152 <li>Check the notification next to 'Incoming TCP Port'. </li> 102 153 154 103 155 </ol> 104 156 105 </div> 106 107 <p> 157 158 </div> 159 160 161 <p> 162 108 163 109 164 <ul> 110 165 166 111 167 <li>If you get a green dot and 'Port is Open' then you have successfully port forwarded! </li> 112 168 169 113 170 <li>If you get a red dot and the message 'Port is Stealth' or 'Port is Closed' then you haven't forwarded correctly.<br> 114 171 172 115 173 NB: If Transmission has successfully mapped the port automatically, but the notification still indicates 'Closed/Stealth' <a href="multiple.html">click here</a>.</li> 116 174 175 117 176 118 177 178 119 179 </ul> 120 180 121 181 122 182 183 184 123 185 </p> 124 186 187 125 188 <a href="../index.html">Home</a> 126 189 190 127 191 </div> 128 192 193 129 194 </body> 130 195 196 131 197 132 198 199 133 200 </html>
