Hi~
I have a question. 2.04 installed, well done, but private torrent is not work and some open torrent files.
Can you help me out?

Hi, Kylek. Thanks for making Transmission available, and for all the updates and support. I have personally benefited from it for more than year.

I have newly installed Transmission 2.04 from 2.03, of course, always following your guide above. When I restarted Transmission, it won't start... and when I looked into the transmission-daemon.log file, I found only one line:


[21:20:06.824] transmission-daemon Error loading config file -- exiting. (daemon.c:421)


When I went on investigating the .transmission-daemon folder, I found it is missing the "settings.json" configuration file. All the other files and folders, namely: /blocklists, /resume, /torrents, dht.dat, stats.json. Are all present.

Is there a way for me to setup a new settings configuration file?

BTW, all the torrents that were loaded have finished downloading, so there are no pending ones.

Thank you.

@banquer:

First try changing permission of all the files and folders in .transmission-daemon:

$ chown -R nobody:501 /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
$ find /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 600 --

If Transmission still won't start, delete (or better rename) the folder, and start from scratch (i.e. Post #1

Hi Kylek.

How do I set transmission to ask for user name and password when accessing it via the web gui?

I tried

"rpc-authentication-required": true,
"rpc-enabled": true,
"rpc-password": "yourpass",
"rpc-username": "yourusername",

but it still won't work. It also messed up transmission having me to resort to reinstalling it

On my first try, it asked for authentication but would accept the user/pass I entered when accessed via gui. I then erased and brought the settings to the previous state. I repeated the steps above and after erasing the long password string and putting my own password, this time,  transmission wouldn't start.

I had to move the json file and restart from scratch. I'll try again. On my whitelist, i have 192.168.1.*.

should the password start with { ?

Thanks again

It worked now ..for a while.

After working, I stopped transmission and edited the json file again to change to a different password. Now it had a long string and not the password I set initially

Oh I see..

I now disabled the whitelist but left the authentication enabled so i can access it from public places with wifi however, it doesn't seem to connect to transmission.

Am I missing something?

update: Seems to be working now. Thanks for the help

Can I still connect to Transmission using different IPs without disabling the whitelist?

Problem is, I get different IP address whenever I connect so I cant specify everything on the rpc-whitelist. What problem will I encounter if I disable the whitelist, but enable the authentication? Will I get hacked easily?

I have a question, I saw earlier in the thread a similar issue but it was not resolved as far as I could tell.
I have transmission 2.04 running and it's working great. The one issue is that in the "downloads" folder an the ".transmission-daemon" folders I cannot delete files.
I can copy files in that folder and move them to another folder..but I cannot delete. The only way to delete torrents is to do it through Transmission.
Normally, that's fine. But today I deleted a torrent and forgot to opt for deleting the torrent AND its data..
So now I have a few downloads and no way of getting rid of them other than through commandline..

Isn't setting the permissions to nobody supposed to allow me to delete files owned by nobody?

Check it out guys, someone just updated the first post with the brand-new package of Transmission v2.10!


I wonder who that was...

Enjoy.

That was fast, Kylek. Thank you. Installed it and so far so good.
+1 for including in the build the CLIs to create/show/edit torrents.
