For proper communication to occur, your router must have UPNP enabled or you have to manually port forward 4444 TCP / 4444 UDP (see router on how to do so, each one is different). Think of it like how torrents or any other peer-to-peer (P2P) service works. First, you download a file from the host(s) that have made it available via seeding. When the download has finished, you become a host in the network (seeder) that other people can download from. @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ To set ports manually, set values for following options in [lbrynet/daemon_setti udp_port: tcp_port: ``` -_Note:_ If the tcp port falls between port numbers 3333 and 3399 (inclusive), the UDP port should be set to 1111 higher than the TCP port.
