I am using transmission-daemon and controlling it through the webgui.
Jul 28, 2013 Question: Q: Unable to download uTorrent. HI, I've been trying to download uTorrent for mac. However after downloading, I double click on the file in my downloads folder but I get the warning: disk image not recognized. And hence it doesn't work. I've tried repairing disk permissions in disk utility already but it still doesn't work. How to Fix Unable to Load: Torrent is Not Valid Bencoding – TechWhoop Since one of the reasons behind “ Torrent is Not Valid Bencoding ” is the Government restriction to a torrent file and you cannot access to it.
Currently I have two torrents from separate trackers that are on 0B of OB status. I am using transmission. On one torrent at last announce it says 'got 50 peers' the other 'got 48 peers.'
port 51413 is listed as open
I have changed the ownership of the download folder to debian-transmission
Any ideas? I'm fresh out of troubleshooting steps.

In my case, it was also helpful to change the setting of the random port picking option to true. In transmission, you do it by following these instructions:
Edit → Preferences → Network Tab → Tick the first box

I switched to port 57558 and it now functions. I'm not sure if this is a long-term solution, but in any case shows that this is network issue and not something related to transmission.Thanks everyone for their help.

I've changed the setting
peer-port-random-on-start
from false
to true
. That did the trick for me(transmission-daemon).Timon de GrootTimon de Groot

I was facing the same issue. Changed the peer-port-random-on-start to true as suggested. Still was unable to download. Checked on some of the other forums & found a tool called 'deluge'. Installed it on my Ubuntu 16.10 machine & the downloads are working fine now. Wonder what was the issue with transmission.
Below is the link to install deluge on Ubuntu 16.10 :

I have AT&T at home and I was messing around with my router. I have always had the NetBIOS protocol turn off, but I had disabled the All Other Protocols option on my system. It appears that Transmission used one of the vague protocols with my router. As soon as I re-enabled it, I was able to get Transmission to work for me.

I had the problem.The cause was the client being unauthorized.
To solve the issue, I changed the settings:
- Stop daemon:
sudo service transmission-daemon stop
- Edit the settings:
sudo vim /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
(replace vim with your favourite text editor) - Unrequire authentication: 'rpc-authentication-required': false
- Whitelist localhost: 'rpc-whitelist': '127.0.0.1'
- Restart daemon:
sudo service transmission-daemon start
And now it works. If you suffered from this issue, it's possible that download-dir changed as well. so I suggest you check that option too and change it to your desire:
'download-dir': '/var/lib/transmission-daemon/Downloads'
