Torrents losing connection to server?
Hi all!
One of the main reason for me getting an ultra 2 was so I could use the bittorrent add on utility and finally let my PC enter sleep mode.
But, when I start the torrents on the ReadyNas they work for a few hours and then lose connection to the server, and Im unable to restart them. I tried with both the standerd bittorrent app and Transmission - same errors. Could it be because the torrents are from a private tracker?
Does any one know of a way around this? I'd be intersted to hear what others have tried.
Thanks and appreciate your time!

- What do you mean with "lose connection to the server"?
1) Can they no longer connect to the tracker or
2) Can they no longer connect to seeds/peers?
3) You can no longer connect to the Transmission interface
If it happens to both Transmission and the old bittorrent add-on from Netgear, then it has most likely something to do with your network configuration. What you can try is to turn on the option "use port forwarding from my router" on the network tab in the preference menu in the Transmission WebGUI. That way, you might solve the 2nd problem I mentioned.
