    Hey The Czar,
    Is there anything I left out? Or can you share what you did to get it working?
    Thanks

    Yeah, after I upgraded to Leopard I had no end of problems with Transmission. I simply could not get the ports open!! I was 6 months without torrents :-o
    The horror…

    However, there are now two options for others in the same boat..
    1st option is to use a really cool shareware program I found on a forum somewhere called Lighthouse. It is easy to set up and handles all your porting needs. Transmission is good to go after that no matter what your router is. Also sorts out the same issue on iChat as well.
    No, I don’t work for them btw.
    2nd option is to tough it out with the Transmission help files and portforward.com It does work but with a bit of effort, but to be honest, it is basically what is written in this article.

    yea, try either using Firefox (from http://www.mozilla.com) or search for transmission on versiontracker.com or macupdate.com and download from there. good luck!

    This is a great tutorial! I mean great. Helped me a lot, and that TV app is fantastic. I had a problem with getting rid of the little red light in transmission, (port was stealth) this was (from what i gathered – it works now so it must be the solution) because both my ADSL router and Wireless router were conflicting. (I got the green light when connected directly to the Modem). The reason was both were configured as DHCP servers – so i disabled this feature on the wireless router and everything is now handled by the Modem. The other niggle was because the wireless router and modem were from different manufacturers, they had different IP subnets, so i had to change the wireless modem’s to the same as the Modem, and make it’s IP static. I’m quite proud of myself to tell you the truth.

    If you have any idea what i’m talking about, you might want to write a tutorial about this too, because a lot of people at school have this problem as well.

    I’m still having problems. I can’t get the green light for open port regardless if I do portforwarding or create a static IP. Can anyone help me?

    Samati: Try connecting directly to your modem (no router or anything else in between your computer and modem) and let me know if the light is green or red.

    Toby: Thanks!

    rolandsquare: it’s great you found that out because having two dhcp servers on a basic home network is just going to cause other problems anyhow… good job! :)

    hey, i recently downloaded a gta san andreas torrent for mac and it has fully downloaded. The file it is in is a .zip file and after opening it and downloading it for a while, it just suddenly stops and says it couldn’t download this file, and this, and after, the unarchiver closes, there isn’t any new files and I have the same amount of space on my hardrive.. any ideas for how i can solve this?
