Symptoms
Cause
Rtorrent 16 does not set or change a MAC address. It sends BitTorrent traffic to peers and trackers, and port forwarding requests to your router.
Peers reach rtorrent on one port over TCP and UDP, by default from the range 50000-50010. rtorrent also connects to peers itself. By default, each public torrent can have up to 200 peers and each private torrent up to 100. There is no limit on the total number of peers, and upload is unlimited by default. rtorrent announces each running torrent to the trackers listed in it. With the default settings, a public torrent also gets up to 16 addresses from the public tracker list, split into four groups, and rtorrent asks one tracker from each group for peers. For public torrents only, DHT runs on UDP port 6891 by default, and peer exchange shares peer addresses with connected peers.
With UPnP and PCP / NAT-PMP on (the default), the package asks your router to forward the BitTorrent port and the DHT port. It asks for the panel's ports only when you switch that on, and for the phone apps' port only while remote access for the phone apps is on.
Resolution
Notice & Advise
If your provider names a port or a protocol, compare it with the ports on Network & NAT.

- Your internet provider blocked your line or the MAC address of your router or NAS while Rtorrent 16 was running.
- You want to know what Rtorrent 16 sends, and to whom.

Resolution
- Check the ports. Open Network & NAT. The Network services table lists BitTorrent (TCP peers), BitTorrent (uTP) and DHT with their ports, and Mapped as shows what the router forwarded.
- Check the connections. The Peers and their limits card on the Dashboard shows rtorrent sockets: … of …. To lower the number, open Settings → Connection profiles, press Custom… and lower max in the Public profile: peers per torrent row.
- Limit uploading. Click the Upload speed at the top of Quick access and set a limit below the upload speed of your internet plan.
- Send less for public torrents. In Settings → Connection, set DHT to Off (can be enabled at runtime). Switch on Advanced and set Add public trackers to new public torrents to Off. Press Review & save and confirm the changes.
