KyleK, in transmission it has the option to set which folder the downloads will be stored into, but each time I put different folder, it revert back to other folder.
How to change the default stored folder?

Isildur, did you make sure to execute /ffp/start/inotify_dev.sh after the reboot?

I saw this line when looking on how to set default folder.

-w --download-dir <path> Set the default download folder

But have no idea how to implement it.
Hope you can help.

@Isildur Hm, bummer. That is exactly the problem I had when I fiddled around with inotify months ago. When I used sirmax's patch, however, it worked just fine (and is still working, after at least one reboot). You could try and stop Transmission, then delete /dev/inotify and run the script again to re-initialize it. (The script must be run as root, I think).

Hi,

I've deleted some torrents halfway due to slow speed. I clicked on the remove button on the menu. Now, i have the data still in the download directory. How can i delete them?

I tried to delete using windows explorer, through samba shared, but i got access denied.

i tried to login through ssh, but it could not delete my torrents because of filename has spacing in between them. so, it says can't find the file.

root@NAS:/mnt/HD_a2/bittorrent/incoming# rm -r Defendor 2009 Limited 720p Bluray X264-DIMENSION
rm: cannot remove 'Defendor': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '2009': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove 'Limited': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove '720p': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove 'Bluray': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove 'X264-DIMENSION': No such file or directory

my permission of the folder:
drwxr-xr-x    3 nobody   501          4096 Apr 20 05:08 bittorrent

I followed the instruction on your first post

chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_a2/bittorrent

but i still could not delete it.

Appreciate if someone could help, thanks.

Kylek, recently I just reformatted my DNS-323 and re-install Transmission from scratch.  Naturally I went with the latest version.  I had to re-do three times as after doing everything I found that I could not access to my DNS via ssh.  I usually access my DNS thru SSH via winSCP.

Eventually I narrow it down to turning on "watch folder" and having the following script from Mike site.

Original script from Mike site http://www.horto.ca/?p=10

I'm not sure if having the "watch folder" function turn on and the script running could have flooded the DNS but when I don't turn on the "watch folder" everything is working fine.

Just a feedback on the "watch folder".

I do realise that in my typical usage of Transmission, I don't need the "watch folder" function.  Normally I access Transmission through the web access and I upload the torrent through the web access.

Does anyone of you guys use the "Watch folder" feature of Transmission?

The way it's currently working on our NAS is rather inefficient, and since sirmax figured out how to make inotify work on the NAS (props!), I made a test-build that uses inotify.

So if someone's out there that uses this feature and isn't afraid of possible problems send me a PM and I'll provide a link for the modified binaries and instructions.

If this works well I could enable this by default in any upcoming versions.

Superkingkong, from the error it seems the "rm" command cannot find 6 files.
And if the rm command as seen above, this is normal for linux/unix.
The space-character (" ") is a word/file separator. So rm thinks it needs to delete 6 file/directories instead of just one.
There are 2 ways to solve this.
1. use double quotes around the file name: rm -r "Defendor 2009 Limited 720p Bluray X264-DIMENSION"
2. for every space in the file name specify a backslash in front of it: rm -r Defendor\ 2009\ Limited\ 720p\ Bluray\ X264-DIMENSION

Linux/unix is also case sensitive.

Thanks a lot HTH
I'm quite new in unix

After doing the chmod to 777, as advised by cheongseeker, i could delete some of the files, except this one .. with "spacing". So, i removed everything in the directory except this one, then i delete it using rm * 

Today i learn something new.. thanks again

Modify the "umask" value in Transmission's settings.json from 18 to 0. Do that after shutting down Transmission (or you can send a SIGHUP to the daemon, if you know what that means .

Yep, that's it. It simply tells a running instance of transmission that the settings file has been changed. It'll reload it without a complete restart.

Dear KyleK!

Latest 1.92 have a bug in web-UI with sorts, that is described here: http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3054
This one is very annoying for me, as I have many hundreds of torrents and actively use Web interface.

Would you be so kind to compile 1.92 for all of us with the patch provided within the linked page, please?

Anyway, thank you Very Much for all you are doing for DNS community.

Cheers,
M@XiMuM.

hey hi,

I recently updated my transmission installation from 1.91 to 1.92 like it says on page 1 from this thread and somehow it stopped working.

if I start it with /ffp/start/transmission.sh start and then check the status with /ffp/start/transmission.sh status it says its not running. I also can't reach it thru the webinterface.

I tried running this command :
su nobody -c "transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon -t -u <username> -v <password> -a 127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*"

wich gave me the following:

root@immoNas:/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon# su nobody -c "transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon -t -u immoreel -v passhere -a 127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*"
