qBittorrent, no router found

[Condobloke]

Longggg story, but to cut to the chase, beside 'showRSS personal feed' in qBittorrent, I get a zero....0

No communication between qb on my pc and showrss

Why?....
15/2/25 4:28 PM - UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping failed. Message: "could not map port using UPnP[10.68.154.129]: no router found"
15/2/25 4:28 PM - UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping failed. Message: "could not map port using UPnP[10.68.154.129]: no router found"

15/2/25 4:28 PM - UPnP/NAT-PMP port mapping failed. Message: "could not map port using UPnP[192.168.1.106]: no router found"

I have zero clue why this is the case. It is not the recent kernel update....I went back one where it was working without a murmur, and no joy

Outside of committing hari kari,,,......what to do ?

(fwiw...i go to showrss and access 'my shows' which are showing a current date (or yesterdays) and click on them and they instantly begin to start downloading in QB.)

But the number which should show that x number of downloads are available, remains stubbornly at zero

That has to do with port-forwarding. That functionality has to do with opening ports, it opens ports automatically on your system but then it also needs to be configured on your router, since you don't need that better just to disable uPnP in your torrent client's settings because if I remember correctly there should be a setting to disable uPnp in your torrent client's settings.

What does "UPnP/NAT-PMP: Port mapping failure" mean in qBittorrent?

There is an error UPnP/NAT-PMP: Port mapping failure, message: could not map port using UPnP: no router found (always appears thrice with the same timestamp) in execution log (view > log > show). No

Following disabling uPnP, the error 'no router found' no longer appears

But, the situation remains unresolved

 

[f33dm3bits]

But, the situation remains unresolved

It's solved because uPnP functionality used for when you have ports forwarded from your router to your system running the torrent client and enabled it on your router for when you want to seed your torrents for other people which allows more people to seed from you which I assuming is what you don't do?

How does port-forwarding help in torrents?

I use Transmission to download files but it says that a certain port is required to be opened. However, while this port is closed I noticed that I can still download files with no problem. But when I

Enabling UPnP can only help IF your router and/or software firewall/s respond correctly to UPnP requests.

I always seed...always. I would consider it mean, not to seed.

I always seed...always. I would consider it mean, not to seed.

Yes seeding works without port forwarding in your router but for you to use that uPnP functionality you would have to enable uPnP in your router as well, that would get rid of the message but I wouldn't recommend opening ports on your home router or enabling uPnP.

Enabling uPnP in your router or opening specific ports would allow more people to seed from you.

How does port-forwarding help in torrents?

I use Transmission to download files but it says that a certain port is required to be opened. However, while this port is closed I noticed that I can still download files with no problem. But when I

With port forwarding enabled on your side (becoming an active node) you are increasing the number of peers you can communicate with (you can then exchange data with passive nodes).

Just leave it disabled since enabling uPnP in your router is not something anyone should want to do out of security reasons.

Assuming that you're port forwarding, have you tried to turn that option off and just try to see how traffic flows without that just to see?

Login to your router and enable UPnP option in the router.

This is however only needed if you'll be seeding, for downloading it's not required.

Thanks for that folks !!

This afternoon, I opened a second OS which I have on a second SSD...in this case LM21.3
It too has QB on it and has always worked perfectly

I took screenshots of all settings and attached them to an email and emailed them to myself.
The opened them on LM22.1 (where QB is not behaving)

The settings were just fine....nothing really out of place or wrong....I re-enabled UPnP in the settings, as I had disabled it on advice from elsewhere....(the two OS's use the same router)...and I do seed....quite a bit in fact.

When I returned to the main page and the RSS page, nothing had changed....I exited....and then restarted with no joy.

I then went to showrss, took yet another look around.....and noticed on the 'My Shows ' page there, that I had not enabled my 'filters'....these are in place to download shows in a particular quality...HD, standard, 720 or 1080p etc etc......I clicked to enable the filters,,,,,and instantly the figure 25 showed up in RSS on QB !!!!!!!.....this means there 25 shows there awaiting download !!!
Needless to say, I was amazed.....but also seriously grateful. I depend on these shows.

As I am typing this, the number 12 has just appeared......and sure enough, there are additional shows to download.

WHY, this made a difference between working and not working has got me stumped. I was not aware that setting these filters and then enabling them was a decisive setting.

Now I know.

In fact, it really doesn't matter to me what quality is downloaded. I watch threads on Linux,org on one monitor and watch a show on the other....at the same time.

It has taken me two days to arrive at this stage.

huh, they did a remake of matlock? is it any good?

Yes, it is ok. A bit 'soapie' at times, but I am still watching it. I have no memory of the first matlock...never watched it......so I have nothing to compare it to
