Hello,
I’m trying to use monsoon to download a torrent file, but it seems really slow even slower than the amule.
I’m using it as it is, with default settings.
is there something to do in order to increase performances?
should I choose another application?
What do you use to fast download torrent files?
thanks
I’m using opensuse 11.0 with gnome.
would be grateful to get help about Monsoon or any other gnome torrent client.
The principles of that guide can be applied to all current version of openSUSE using whatever desktop.
Your main concern is to open the firewall ports used by Monsoon. The method for doing that is shown, all you need to do is enter the port numbers used by monsoon.
You may also have to do the port forwarding in your router.
Ok.In my firewall I have ports 1755 and 1756 enabled (TCP and UDP, amule uses them).
In monsoon, in Edit->Preferences->Connections I have one port, 50000 Upnp enabled…
So I have some difficult to proceed…
any help??..
The guide I gave you shows how to open the port in the firewall, just use the port number for Monsoon, which you quote as: 50000
But as the guide also shows, you may need to do port forwarding in your router. It’s all explained in the guide.
yes, that’s clear. But the problem is: Firewall enables tcp and udp ports while monsoon has upnp port (or something similar)wich seems not supported by firewall…am I wrong?
Moreover if I edit tcp and udp ports in firewall I cannot use amule anymore…
The guide is not clear about this point, and I’m a bit confused…
You are wrong
upnp is univeral plug and play, just open tcp and udp on that number.
Moreover if I edit tcp and udp ports in firewall I cannot use amule anymore…
The guide is not clear about this point, and I’m a bit confused…
You don’t need to edit out/remove other ports, leave them and add the one you need for monsoon
1755 1756 50000 in both tcp and udp sections here:

Just leave a space between each number
ok. Here is what I’ve done:
Having 1755 tcp port already enabled on firewall and router I set monsoon port on 1755 and tried to download a torrent file, but nothing happens. A message says that tracker could not be contacted…
Something seems to be fundamentally lacking with your ability to proceed and reach a successful conclusion.
Certainly it would be possible to use the same port, but you would likely need udp and tcp. It would mean also that you couldn’t use the two programs together. Not that you would ever use 2 torrent applications at the same time.
Some folks who just can get over their hangups with utorrent from windows, install it in Linux. It does run brilliantly in wine.
If I’m not able to get applications working on Linux, Wine would be the worst choice…
Probably I was not so clear with my explaination:
In the firewall I already have ports 1755 (TCP) and 1756 (UDP) enabled, and in my router I already have that ports forwarded in order to get Amule working.
All I done was to set up port 1755 in Monsoon ( I can declare a single port in Monsoon) so that it can use an already enabled and forwarded port.
Obviously I cannot use both Amule and Monsoon, I know, it was just for a test.
Did I wrong something?
It sounds like you did it correctly
…but it doesn’t run…
could I do some test in order to check it?
What you are saying is, as far as I can tell.
You one application set to use those ports and it works
There can really only be one conclusion.
You have some settings incorrect in Monsoon.
Give me half an hour. I’ll install Monsoon in a sandbox and try it.
Thank you so much.
Let me know.
Sorry for the delay. Had the Mother in Law on the phone:)

Set up and worked fine
I used port 59000 on tcp and udp in the firewall and router.
There is only one port number to enter in Monsoon
Unchecked upnp
You can see my speed in the image, that was after less than 60 seconds running
no way…
could you provide me a reliable tracker?
Just try a torrent like I did, the opensuse livecd
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.2/iso/openSUSE-11.2-GNOME-LiveCD-i686.iso.torrent
My guess, you are missing something in the settings
WWWWWWWWWWWWoWWWWWWWWW
it works!!!lol!
it was the torrent file!
Only now I realize that the file I was trying was tcb.torrent, while the file you provided is iso.torrent…
I can believe it…
so, there are some limitations on file extension?
