DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

I have 49 torrents seeding at this moment (but only 1 active) and it eats 19% MEM, so its not that slow after all

I don't like its new behavior on the specific error "access denied, torrents limit reached" it just stops them and doesn't let them running, always happens after my ISPs 24h-reconnect. edit: seems to be fixed in 1.75

Try reducing the peer limit per torrent,  I use a small number like 24.  It can make a big difference on the torrents with many peers.  Also, set reasonable download and upload limits.

Ofcourse, it could just be bad peers on your tracker, and don't post torrent links here.

You need to edit the settings.json file in the transmission folder.  http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles

Anyone know if there any new settings in the latest release that may cause my 323 to "wake up" more frequently?

Can someone please please build version 1.75b1 for the DNS-323?  It has some really great fixes!

Thank You!

What would happen if I updated to curl-7.19.4-1.tgz?  Could there (will be) a negative impact or a positive one?

If you use the watchfolder feature of Transmission, it'll scan the specified folder every second or so, to look for new torrent files. If the folder is located on a harddrive, it'll effectively prevent that drive from spinning down.

I don't think I do but I'll check.

Is this set through the GUI or do I need to edit the config?

Thanks

You can enable/disable it via a commandline option to transsmission-daemon:

KyleK@CH3SNAS:~$ transmission-daemon --help | grep watch
14:  -c  --watch-dir            <directory>     Directory to watch for new .torrent files
15:  -C  --no-watch-dir                         Disable the watch-dir

So, to disable it, stop Transmission, then do this:

$ transmission-daemon -f -C -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon

Wait a couple of seconds until Transmission has started up (you'll see status messages), then press Ctrl-C to quit. After that you can start Transmission the normal way.

Thanks KyleK, I now have idea on what was happening. I check again the %MEM and it reach 80%. Again, I can't access the web interface. Is there a way to stop other torrent? Or I just have to wait until the %MEM will go down.

How do you check the current memory usage of your system?

1. curl (or in case of Transmission, libcurl) is a library that simplifies anything related to networking. Transmission needs to to talk to Trackers and such.

2. Type "top" in a ssh shell and you will see

THANK YOU!!

Will report tonight about results of update

Hello
Can someone help me with crashing problem of transmission?
Crashes began to appear after upgrade to 1.73 (randomly and not often - one crash in few days) and this crashes remain after update to 1.74 (randomly, but more often - few times a day).
How I can track crashing errors of transmission? There are no error messages in both transmission-daemon.log and /var/log/ when it crashes.
It crashes (randomly, not always) when it simply seeding or leeching or deleting torrent with data or adding new torrent.

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been on the computer for a while

grep is included in the grep-2.5.3-2.tgz package
diff belongs to diffutils-2.8.7-3.tgz

Both can be found at fonz' package repository: http://inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/
