Hi,

Thx. but can you explain what u mean with this? And how can I change or set it correctly. (as you notice I do not have to much knowledge about this topic)

I also get the message (if I run transmission -f) "parent folder //Downloads does not exist.

Regards,
Paul.

Don't start Transmission directly, use the start script /ffp/start/transmission.sh

Transmission has to know where to store its settings. If you start it directly, settings will go to the flash and will be gone once you restart the device.
In trasmission.sh, the default config path is set to /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon. If you want a different directory, you can simply edit that script.


And if you absolutely have to start Transmission directly (for whatever reason), you have to use the -g option. Type 'transmission-daemon --help" for details.

Kylek,

I had the same problem as PaulHarry had and set everything correctly and it started to work however after some time it provides again the same message that the parent Download directory does not exist.

Actually I do not no why it is doing that, but if I restart the Transmission sometimes it is ok, but e.g. I wanna verify some torrent it provides again the same message.

Any hint?

Thanks and rgds,

Bojan

Hi Kylek,

Thanks for the feedback, however I have read through the topics and I beleive that have the right setting:

drwxrwxrwx    8 nobody   501          4096 Mar 21 18:17 Downloads
drwxr-xr-x    6 nobody   501          4096 Mar 15 17:28 .transmission-daemon

And for a while it was working well.

This is what I have in the log:

Actually I originally had the 1.22 and I have upgraded and trying to get back my seeds by verifying the torrent.

Any futher hint you may have?

Thanks

Actually I'm using the script:

#!/ffp/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: Transmission

. /ffp/etc/ffp.subr

TRANSMISSION_HOME=/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon

name="transmission-daemon"
command="/ffp/bin/$name"
start_cmd="transmission_start"
stop_cmd="transmission_stop"
status_cmd="transmission_status"
user=nobody

transmission_start()
{

        if [ ! -d ${TRANSMISSION_HOME} ]; then
                su $user -c "mkdir ${TRANSMISSION_HOME}"
        fi
        echo "Starting $name"
                su $user -c "$command -f -g  ${TRANSMISSION_HOME} 1>${TRANSMISSI
ON_HOME}/$name.log 2>&1 &"

and it is runnig with the option -g:

1869 nobody   /ffp/bin/transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daem

As I have edited the script, but later reverted back there mazbe something which is not correct, but I do not see

Thanks Kylek, however this is exactly the same. I am going to remove and reinstall the whole stuff
