Unable to connect to any seeds/peers

Post by benze »

I'm running qbittorrent in a docker container (linuxserver/qbittorrent (latest)).  My container launches as expected, but none of my torrents are able to connect to any seeds or peers.

I'm launching the container as follows:

docker run --rm --name qb_test -p 8080:8080 -e TZ="America/New_York" -p 6882:6882 -p 6882:6882/udp  linuxserver/qbittorrent

I've also created the appropriate port forwarding mappings in my router to allow port 6882 from the internet to my docker host port 6882. I have further tested the mapping using telnet from a public IP to ensure that I am able to connect qbittorrent in the container; the telnet connection gets established.

At this point, I'm not sure what I have to do to track down this issue. Is this a problem with qBittorrent?  the container? with my docker host configuration?  Networking issue?  Something completely different?

Docker Engine:
CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
Docker version 18.06.1-ce, build e68fc7a


I see lists of potential peers showing up in the peers tab, but each peer shows up momentarily and then disappears.

Is there any way I can enable logging information somewhere to get a better understanding of what is going on?  Why am I unable to connect to any peer?

If I try to d/l the same torrent from a simple windows machine (using uTorrent), I don't have any issues.  So I'm not sure where my config  (or network) might be broken. 

Can anyone help point me in the right directly?

No idea, but generally using port 6882 is BAD idea.
Its long time banned on major clients/trackers and probably blacklisted/deprioritize on some ISP's.
Use high port, something like port : 57305
