Well, that is pretty self-explanatory, isn't it. I assume you haven't specified a download folder, so Transmission uses the default, which might not exist on your NAS.

Log in via ssh or telnet, and type "transmission-remote -f /mnt/HD_a2/Downloads"  (or whereever you want to place downloads).

Thanks for helping, the attitude is pretty uncalled for tho...

Found the problem, the torrent I was testing with contains illegal characters in the filename (').
So the errormessage was missleading me. Other torrents works fine.

Now that I have Transmission/Clutch up and running, how do I disable/uninstall the built-in client?

Has anyone experienced that downloading chokes the uploads? I have a big torrent (80GB) downloading and even though it's running at only 50-100 KB/s (meaning connection is not saturated) my uploading stops in the meantime.

Edit: Additionally, I also discovered:

# transmission-remote -i
transmission-remote: failed to connect to socket file: //.config/transmission/daemon/socket: No such file or directory

My socket file is at /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/daemon/socket so I'm not sure what about the "//.config" part.

Hi,

I have written a little script based on the original mantioned here that was set for BASH.  I have amended it as there seemed to be a few issues for me and it works fine for FFP 0.5 and editing the script to change the BASE_DIR should allow it to run on the older versions.

I added the script to /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission/scripts and called it tran_watch.sh
I then created a /mnt/HD_a2/torrent_watch folder (mkdir /mnt/HD_a2/torrent_watch)
I then changed the permissions on the folder to be open to all (chmod 777 /mnt/HD_a2/torrent_watch)
Add it to the crontab to run every 5 minutes.

Copy any .torrent files to the volume_1/torrent_watch folder and they will get added every 5 minutes and will appear in clutch.

CODE
----------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

# Set Variables.
WATCH_DIR='/mnt/HD_a2/torrent_watch'         #Where it will look for .torrent files
BASE_DIR='/ffp'                                             #For older funplug change to the funplug root (i.e. fun_plug.d)
TRANS_HOME='/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission'        #Location transmission has been installed to.
LOG_FILE='$FFP/var/tran_autowatch.log'          #Log file

NUM_FILES=`ls -l $WATCH_DIR |grep ".torrent" | wc -l`

if [ $NUM_FILES -gt 0 ];then
        for file in $WATCH_DIR/*.torrent
        do
                $BASE_DIR/bin/transmission-remote -g $TRANS_HOME -a "$file"
                echo "[`date`] "$file" added to queue." > $LOG_FILE
                rm "$file"
                sleep 1
        done
fi
exit 0

Good work RimBlock... looking forward to the scripts!

Today Transmission 1.30 was released and clutch is now intergraded, I'd love to see a version compiled for funplug. I'm a bit to green behind my linux-ears to compile it myself.....

Update: Transmission 1.3 has been released and you can download the funplug-0.5 versioen here.

I haven't had time to test it yet, I just compiled it. I'm not sure if it can work with existing configuration files/directories from Transmission 1.2x, I therefore suggest you provide a new settings folder (see start/transmission.sh) and start fresh.

Clutch is built-in now, and so is a small HTTP server, which means you won't need lighttpd anymore. You can access Clutch through http://<your NAS IP>:9091/transmission/web.


I won't put this in the first post yet, I'd like to test it first.

I compiled from the SVN repository. That bug is already fixed in the version I posted (it just hadn't been renamed to 1.31 yet).

Man I have the worst timing.  Just as I get 1.22 working 1.31 comes out, lol.  Is the best procedure at this point to uninstall Transmission/Clutch/Lighttpd or can you install over top?

EDIT:  I removed Transmission, Clutch, and turned off Lighttpd.  I left curl installed though.  I did a funpkg -i Transmission-1.3-ffp0.5.tgz and that went fine.  Tried to start transmission and get a "Could not find Transmission socket" error.  When I take a peek at /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission in the transmission-daemon.log file, I see "/ffp/bin/transmission-daemon: can't load library 'libintl.so.8'".  I figure the file belongs to a package that I missed installing.  Which package does this it belong to?

Darn it. That happens when you put this stuff up in a hurry, without testing.
Apparently Transmission now requires the gettext library.

Fetch it here.

Oh, I didn't realize fonz had already done gettext. Of course, you can use his version as well (it's even a bit smaller).

Transmission looks in various places for the web interface, but since funplug uses the /ffp prefix for its path structure, it won't find it.
You have to set the environment variable CLUTCH_HOME to "/ffp/share/transmission/web" and then restart Transmission.


I'll do a fully featured post for the new release with guides on how to set up authentication and stuff, but first I have to rebuild my computer.
I'll probably get to it on the weekend.

It is incompatible, the underlying protocol is totally different. Are you sure you shut down the old Transmission 1.22?

fonz' version of gettext 0.17 doesn't contain libintl at all, so no wonder it didn't work.
