KTorrent not seeding and not downloading

Forward only 6881 for tcp and udp in router or choose another port. Paste it for TCP, mtp, DHT, apply and other ports will be changed automatically.

sudo ufw enable

sudo ufw allow 6881/tcp

sudo ufw allow 6881/udp

sudo ufw reload

netstat -plunt | grep ktorrent

tcp        0      0 PC_IP:6881              0.0.0.0:*       LISTEN       60908/ktorrent

udp        0      0 PC_IP:6881             0.0.0.0:*                           60908/ktorrent

udp        0      0 PC_IP:UDPtrackers 0.0.0.0:*                           60908/ktorrent

udp        0      0 PC_IP:UDP_DHT    0.0.0.0:*                           60908/ktorrent


KTorrent opens with empty torrents list

nano ~/.config/ktorrentrc

Check saveDir=/path/torrents/

tempDir=/path/ktorrent/ // default location => /home/$USER/.local/share/ktorrent/

Make tempDir=/path/torrents/ktorrent/ // your actual path to tor0+ dirs

KTorrent stores its settings in ~/.config/ktorrentrc. If the application crashes, your system runs out of disk space, or a desktop environment update occurs, this file can occasionally corrupt or reset to factory defaults. When it resets, KTorrent reverts to its default temporary directory path (~/.local/share/ktorrent/) [1] and instantly forgets about your custom folder.
