<p>Make sure the OS X firewall is either disabled, or you have <a href="pffirewall.html">allowed Transmission's port</a>.
|
||||
The firewall can cause the port to remain closed, even if it has been successfully mapped by the router.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you have multiple routers in your home network, you must forward Transmission's port on all of them, otherwise it will continue to show up as closed.
|
||||
Transmission can only automatically port map the router the computer is directly connected to. Any others in between this router and your modem will have to be <a href="pfrouter.html">forwarded manually.</a>

<h1>Why do I see a red dot and "Port is closed"?</h1>

<p>You haven't port forwarded correctly. Port forwarding opens a port in your firewall or router so that incoming connections from the outside world can be made with Transmission.

|

<h1>Why do I need to Port Forward?</h1>
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
<p>Transmission uses a single port for all the torrents you are downloading. If the port has not been opened (ie forwarded) that means only you can make connections to others in the swarm.
|
||||
If the port is forwarded, others can connect to you, thus increasing the potential number of people connected to you, and more importantly increasing the speed of your download.

<li>If you have an Apple Airport, or a UPnP compatible router, Transmission can map its port automatically. Most routers manufactured since 2001 have this feature.

<ol>

<li>Open Transmission. </li>

<li>Go to Preferences >> Network, and check 'Automatically map port'. </li>
|

<li>You should see a success notification and green dots.</li>

<p>If you get a red dot and the message 'Error mapping port', <a href="upnp.html">click here</a>.</li>

<li>If you don't use a router, that is, your modem is directly connected to your computer, you'll need to open Transmission's port in the Mac OS X firewall. For instructions <a href="pffirewall.html">click here</a>.<br>
