I recently loaded Malwarebytes onto my computer and it has been blocking a steady stream of outbound/inbound traffic from Utorrent to potentially nefarious ip addresses in china, russia, etc. but what is scaring me is that this is happening when no torrents are active i.e. no uploading, no download, no seeding, nothing paused.

But for malware bytes to identify the process as utorrent.exe the client service MUST be running on your machine, whether there are any jobs in the list or not, whether the GUI is active or not the service is still running (in the System Tray) and therefore announcing it's IP and port to the bittorrent network.
Although Deluge is often overlooked, in reality, this Bittorrent client is one of the most robust and flexible. In fact, it is known as the king of customization. And once you try it, you might never go back, and there are many reasons why.
Deluge 2.0 is superior to Deluge 1.3 in terms of functionalities, features, and performance. Deluge 2.0 comes with performance updates that ensure the client can manage more torrents and with faster response times. Deluge v2.0 also includes new features such as multi-user support, automatic re-checks, new console UI, migration to GTK3, magnet pre-fetching, support to libtorrent 1.2, and more.
The Deluge bit torrent client comes with all the foundational features of a typical torrent client. As you will notice, when Deluge is missing something, a feature, a fix, etc., it will be only a matter of time before someone builds a plug-in or fixes the bug.
Remote access is one of the greatest features of the Deluge torrent client. It allows you to manage torrents remotely via a local client. To control Deluge remotely with a thin client, you have to prepare your remote Deluge machine to accept remote connections, so please follow this tutorial carefully.
Now you will notice that your torrents will begin downloading. And also, when you finish configuring your RSS feed, you can use your WebUI to check the status of torrents, or you can continue using your GTK over the remote desktop.
For instance, you might have the fastest bandwidth and best computer, but your ISP might be doing a great job blocking torrent traffic. Or, you are using Deluge VPN, but the VPN service provider is keeping your logs.
By default, Deluge communicates on port 58846. But, remember that this is signaling (communication) and not torrenting traffic. When it comes to data (torrenting traffic), Deluge uses random ports, usual ports between 50,000 and 65,000.
If you feel your communication with other torrent peers is limited, slow, or is simply never possible, your Deluge ports might be being blocked by a networking device. When the gateway, router, firewall, or proxy receives an incoming connection from an external remote client (a torrent peer), the device will not know where to forward it within your Local Area Network (LAN), so it discards it.
Regardless of what torrent client you use, using BitTorrent will always expose your information in some way or the other. All peers within the same swarm can easily see your data, including IP, country, OS, and even Deluge version. On top of that, even though you might be downloading legal Ubuntu files, your ISP will likely monitor and block all torrent activity.
As a brand new torrent user this is a God send. I have been looking for a how to guide to set what ever switches that may need to be set in deluge. Also, While I had the latest release I set in on my end to run in cojmpateable mode with os7 for windows not os1`0. But this article says it supports 7 thru 10.
Deluge appears to be a mess of false error messages, telling me that things are not working when they clearly are. My torrents are definitely downloading, even though there are allegedly port errors, and the port tests all fail.
I disagree that turning on Protocol Encryption will reduce the number of peers. I believe quite the opposite is true. Most torrent users force protocol encryption as I have done for 15-20 years, so if you do not have protocol encryption at least turned on you will be restricted to users in the swarm that do not force it, which IMO is much lower number of users than those that do.
Most obviously, P2P file sharing causes can clog a network by substantially increasing traffic. Not only do P2P applications allow users to download mutli-megabyte or gigabyte files, increasing inbound traffic; they also allow computers inside a network to function as servers, causing large increases in outbound traffic as well. This activity can choke bandwidth, slowing down legitimate communcation, and even resulting in denial of service.
SonicWALL P2P signatures, when enabled, allow administrators to prevent P2P-related traffic by preventing users from logging on to networks, blocking outbound queries for available servers outside of the network, blocking inbound requests to enumerate P2P servers inside of the network, as well as blocking the actual file transfers themselves. Because of the performance degradation, security risks and few legitimate uses of P2P networks in the workplace, these signatures should generally be enabled.
Getting repeat triggers in Malwarebytes of qBittorrent generating outbound connections from the exe file.Researching, I see that qTorrent has a bit of history for this.Anyone able to confirm?
By nature, a torrent client generates outbound connections. If it didn't, it couldn't torrent. I see a false positive in Antiy-AVL but nothing else at present. As always, you'll need to ask Malwarebytes as they are the ones generating the non-specific errors.
Clarity around your sales framework aligns all departments on the way your business intends to source and convert its leads. More often than not, these frameworks are referred to as inbound or outbound approaches.
An outbound sale is the direct opposite of inbound! The leads are often cold and typically have to be acquired by phone or email. The cold lead then needs to be educated on the need and of course your product or service solution. This process can take many months depending on the category.
The outbound sales approach is traditionally how businesses have gone to market and is a real numbers game. To help familiarise the potential customer base with the brand, companies will invest ing advertising and mass media.
Being an openly inbound oriented business sends an important signal to your employees, customers and suppliers. However, inbound actually needs outbound methods to achieve maximum sales for two important reasons.
If your business creates great inbound content over time, your organic traffic and engagement will inevitably increase and so the need for excessive outbound reach will diminish. However, inbound and outbound will work well together in an ongoing sense, particularly if your business has embraced inbound processes and frameworks that will turn cold leads into warm leads.
DHT and UDP isn't the problem then. If you grep for your specific torrent port + TCP, does the number increase or decrease overtime when the torrent client is offline? The number should decrease until it hits zero, unless conntrack creates an entry, even when the TCP destination port was unreachable and no handshake was done.
Personally on my network with about 3 heavy torrent users, I mostly hit the conntrack limit of 16k due to one user, who has uTorrent with about several hundred torrents. It's rare however, I mostly stay below 8k. I haven't touched the default sysctl values.
Edit: And starting qbittorrent again shows increasing numbers of port 31036 connections, so I am definitely grepping the correct port. However, there are way more connections that utilize a different port. I am not expert on the torrent protocol, but is that to be expected?
Good point, forgot about that. An inbound torrent connection will try to connect to port 31036.But your outbound connections will connect to whatever destination port is advertised by other clients, the source port on your system will most likely be a random port then.
Right. And since the number of connections on the 31036 port drops to 0 after a few minutes of closing the torrent client, the lingering connections seem to be outbound connections then. The question is why this is happening. Is this a conntrack bug? Is this expected behavior (why?) Or could this possibly be a qbittorrent (libtorrent) bug?
19.07.4. Flow control (both software and hardware) are disabled. While I didn't have enough time to run it as long as I did qbittorrent, transmission didn't seem to trigger the same behavior. But then again, Transmission was also using fewer connections to begin with. I will have to run a longer test tonight to double check. I am not sure if that means that this is a bug in qbittorrent/libtorrent though, since conntrack on the desktop PC from which the client was running wasn't running into the same issues.
Yes, I always reset to defaults after every major release. I did find out something interesting. 45 minutes after closing my torrent client, there are still 9.8k connections open. The vast majority of those all have the same status:
Yes, it is possible to download the metadata from several peers, assuming the .torrent file is greater than 16 kiB (the info-dictionary specifically). The info-dictionary is split up into 16 kiB blocks, and requested by specifying the index of the block you want. By requesting different blocks from different peers, you download it from multiple peers in parallel.
Far too many people new to BitTorrent just install the client andexpect everything to magically work. Then they connect to a torrentthat has a ton of seeds, they get a horrible download rate and a highupload rate, and they think BitTorrent sucks. What they don't know isthat their problems are almost certainly due to misconfiguration oftheir systems and a lack of understanding of how BitTorrent (and otherp2p sharing) works. The purpose of this document is to educate you, thereader, and hopefully help you tweak your system to get the most out ofBitTorrent. 2ff7e9595c
