title: Fix transmission not downloading anything
---

I experienced a weird issue on my NAS where transmission suddenly stopped downloading my torrents. It showed "Downloading from 0 of 0 connected peer(s)" for hours!

After some experimenting, I found out that in the individual torrent's properties there was the option "Maximum peers", which was apparently set to 1. Increasing it changed everything: Now that torrent had peers and even web seeds.
