I think that the download folder is OK - after all transmission 1.22 wrote it's downloads there OK.

I tried from the console and managed to get it downloading.

When i go back to the transmission.sh and try it seems OK when it starts as the log below shows - serving the right clutch pages and finds the blocklist OK but it still won't right to my download folder.

Kylek, thanks for your hard work.
BTW, where to find those new features described in release notes in clutch? like *Ability to add and remove tracker addresses.
And any plan to get the turtle icon back to clutch?
Thanks again.

wow, thanks for your quickly reply.
Guess better wait for next release now...

The daemon does not have an option for complete/incomplete folders. You can only specify a download folder which will contain downloading and finished files.

With well-seeded torrents, Transmission should achieve the same kind of speeds as any other client.
What Transmission mainly lacks is DHT support, and as a result, your client might not "see" as many peers as are available. That could theoretically result in lower download speeds.

uTorrent has an option to test the selected port (if it's open). You can use the same URL and test your Transmission port.

When people mention speed problems, I always suggest to download a really well-seeded torrent like the current Ubunut Live-CD or OpenOffice. If you get good speeds with those, then the everything's fine and the missing DHT is probably why you see lower speeds.

Also note that the NAS does only have 64MB of RAM, which means there's not a lot of caching going on. With many torrents, the hard drive is constantly reading and writing stuff (uTorrent refers to it as disk trashing). I suggest to limit the number of concurrent downloads to maybe 3 when using Transmission.

Thanks Kylek for your hard work.

I have a question though.  In v1.22, I was able to start/stop all torrents using "transmission-remote -s all" (or transmission -S all) command.  It seems this is no longer possible in v1.32, it says I've to use -t to get torrent first.  I used to use the "-s all" option in a simple script to start/stop all my current torrents.  How can I achieve this in v1.33?

Thanks.

@wlgspotter You can start or stop all torrents by using the command "transmission-remote -t all -S".

@Opperpanter Watch folder functionality is not available for the Transmission daemon. I intend to integrate that feature into Automatic, but haven't done so yet.

Meh,

my old webspace was shut down. I updated the links in the first post, should be working again.

Ok, cool. Btw, I noticed that the  Transmission-1.33-ffp0.5.tgz is missing /ffp/start directory. But I guess if I first install 1.32, and after that 1.33 over it, everything works ok

Hi KyleK

I managed to get 1.32 working the other day - ended up re-installing funplug so not sure what was wrong ??

Anyway the reason for the post is that after upgrading Ok to the new 1.33 (thanks for the quick update by the way) when I use the startup script I get a message on the screen

mkdir: cannot create directory '/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon': File exists


Is there something wrong in the script where it checks if the .transmission-daemon directory exists?

Cheers

Hi, I think I managed to install both Clutch and Transmission OK. Clutch is launching from my browser, transmission is running.
However, just after a download starts, clutch shows the error "Permission denied"...I read in the old thread that this is relating to setting the download folder.
I have created a folder "MyBTDownloads" under /mnt/HD_a2/ and the permission is as follow:

drwxr-xr-x    2 nobody   501          4096 Sep  1 22:09 MyBTDownloads

No luck still getting "Permission Denied" being shown in clutch.

Any idea?

In my opinion I've tried everything as said in this threat, butt I still get the error "destination folder doesn't exist" and I really don't know what else to do!

I've created a folder mnt/HD_a2/downloads. (I can see this folder directly on my Volume_1)
With the comment # chown -R nobody:501 /mnt/HD_a2/downloads I make it owned by nobody

In the webgui => Preferences => Download to: "/downloads"
I've also set the download folder with the comment # transmission-daemon -w /mnt/HD_a2/downloads

Does anybody have any clue?

Is this with every torrent? It might be a tracker response because you're not to download that particular torrent.
Also make sure that Transmissions config folder is owned by nobody as well (/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon)

Yeah - the "Permission Denied" error happen to every torrent. What i can observed on Clutch for every torrent is that it will start with 1 or 2 clients and when the download started to ramp up it stopped and present the "Permission Denied" error.

Anything else to check? Thanks in advance.
