torrent upload/download does not work; 3.3.4 nox @ ubuntu 16.04

Post by vesoljc »

Hi,
I'm having an issue with my setup and cannot pinpoint the error. I've just recently wandered into linux world and I'm still a rookie :)

Here's the setup:
ftth modem/router -> switch -> win8 box + ubuntu server box

On win8 box I'm also using qbittorrent with upnp/nat-pmp setting and the client works as expected, no issues.
On ubuntu server box I installed the qbitrorrent-nox with webui following this guide:
https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorr ... d-newer%29

The service is running, I can log into web ui, change settings etc. I've left most of the settings at default (enabled upnp/nat-pmp, disabled anon access, etc...), except folder settings. I've set the watch/download/incomplete folders on a nonsystem raid device (samba shared for windows box). When I download any torrent file (ie. ubuntu iso) to the "wached" folder, the torrent gets kinda stalled. Seeds are there, peers also, but no data is being transferred, up or down. If I click force recheck, seeds & peers numbers jumps up, download speed starts growing, but after few seconds, all those numbers drop down back to 0.

If I check the specified download folders, there is nothing there, which I assume means that there is a write access problem?

When I check running processes, I can see:
  1605 qbtuser 19:04 /usr/bin/qbittorrent-nox -d


I've played around with users/groups but nothing changed. Any ideas what to check next?

Thanks.

meh, qbtuser did not have write access to one sub folder... ffs
99% time is permissions :)
