To let you find out more about each pick, we've even included links to our reviews.
That includes considering user experience, bloatware, or ads, which you can sometimes circumvent with some of the best VPNs for torrenting and even integration with other apps. We’ve highlighted what we like and dislike with each to point you to the one that meets your needs best. There are options below that are streamlined for those who just want to get started without fuss as well as ones with more advanced features. And, since we've used, tested, and reviewed many of them, we thought we'd share the best ones in this guide for your convenience. Luckily, there are excellent free torrent clients out there, offering their downloading services without charging you a single penny. That's due to the fact that the client will grab parts of that file from multiple sources and simultaneously download those different bits, then put the file together like a jigsaw to use. To get the meta data (size and file names) in a workaround way you could try using the web client with, but that wouldn't be any fun compared to the Transmission Mac interface.On the other hand, a torrent client makes faster download speeds and shorter download times possible. You should try 2.92 as one item of this has been fixed by but I think you'd always see a crash then, not a stall. I've had good results with patching like this for 2.77: So that might be why stopping and restarting fixes it. This could be related to a couple of problems that I have found.Ģ.) if the acquired metadata pieces are determined to be bad we just keep retrying the same over and over. Also, if I remote the torrent and then redo it, from the same link, then it will also begin processing normally. If I stop and then restart the daemon then the hung torrent begins downloading normally. No connection problems as other torrents start and download to completion while this is happening. There are lots of 100% seeds connected and in the "D" state. It never downloads the meta data (size and file names). There could be a bug with how Transmission is treating the peer listening port, displaying it as open when in fact it's having some sort of issue which may have been fixed with a restart.īlinding wrote:Also seeing this problem. I'm not sure if steps 1-2 (changing save location and firewall) really did anything.
Then all of my magnet links started downloading. Transmission then decided that 51413 was open! Before the restart port 51413 had been appearing as open.ĥ. I clicked 'randomise' so that it choose a random port, then I changed the port back to 51413. After the restart, when I went into Network section of Transmission Preferences, I noticed that the peer listening port that I had always been using (51413) was appearing as closed. I then turned off the firewall within Mac OS System Preferences, then turned it back on.Ĥ. I then changed it back to its original location (downloads).Ģ. First I changed the save location of torrents to my desktop. Ok magnet links are now working but I'm not sure if this is how I fixed it:ġ.
