Torrent clients not connectable in virtual machines.

Hi I'm running Workstation 12 player on Windows 10 and I'm running both Ubuntu and Windows 10 virtual machines. The issue I'm having is that torrents download fine with qbittorrent and deluge but with both I get yellow/red connection signs and get a red check mark when testing the port in deluge. I do manage to upload as well but it's really poor performance compared to what I get on my original windows and I guess this connection issue might be causing it? I have tried changing ports and even using the same port on the original windows pc which has a green connection but nothing helps.

So what's the issue here? Does the traffic go through another port since they are on the virtual machines? What can I do to fix it?

Sounds like you use vmnet8 (NAT) virtual nics - try bridged instead.
