Transmission v1.70 is up, check it in the first post. Haven't had time to test this one, so if issues arise I'm not to be blamed


Have fun.

Can't connect at the moment to download -site down maybe?

KyleK,where are older versions of Transmission, please?I need Transmission 1.6x (1.63 would be ok)

Thanks.

Transmission 1.71 is up.

That doesn't mean anything, I just forgot to update the file containing the version number. It still is Transmission 1.71

I'll do a silent update.

The NAS uses Linux 2.6.12.6, while fallocate() was added to the kernel in version 2.6.23. I don't see any way of somehow adding the functionality manually. Some stuff simply isn't meant to be run on a device like this.

I believe there are scripts floating around that allow you to move downloaded content once it's complete. You could use that to move data to another disk and thus work against fragmentation.

BTW - DLink's own torrent client IMO dont suffer from fragmentation, did it?
So maybe there is other way to do pre-allocation and we can give a hint on it to Transmission developers? ...or even suggest some patch of sources

Hey KyleK,

Many thanks for building/packaging 1.71, looks a big improvement on my DNS323 over 1.61 (UI more responsive, downloading faster).

Thanks,

Adz

Very good news!  I will surely test this one today...

Link to Experimental transmission build compiled for testing the patch on DNS-323 with ffp-05:
http://slil.ru/27748402

chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_a2/Downloads
I got operation not permitted

Try again with 'sudo' in front of it:

sudo chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_a2/Downloads

Or login as root.

I have installed a few version of transmission on my DNS-313 (from 1.50 to 1.71)

It is working really great (the last one really really great! )

I never had right problems ! so i never had to use these lines :

chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
chown -R nobody /mnt/HD_a2/Downloads

If you installed all packages needed (UCLibC,  ans Curl and rebooted when you installed UcLibC) and had a direct installation via using :
funpkg -i Transmission-1.71-3.tgz

started one time transmission (by rebooting your dns for example)
Re rebooting your dns

and then doing a :
sh /ffp/start/transmission.sh stop

you can go to your volume-1 HDD mapped, on and then in .transmission-deamon folder, and then editing manually settings.json using notepad

then saving and rebooting

Maybe it's a port forwarding problem


Here is my setting.json
(with ports, login and pass, external ip modifieds 192.168.0.1 is local ip on my computer, 192.168.0.254 is my local ip of my router, 192.168.0.4 is an other computer on the network, and 192.168.0.32 is ip for the DNS itself....)
Login and pass, and IP are for web interface only

Perfectly working, even with Automatic 0.4 !!!! if you do not download too much files at the same time
for example :
7 files : 3 completes, and 4 downloading
and even with huge files (no problem with 8 Go per files for example) 4 at the same time !!!!

Depending on the torrents, i already had 1.5 MB/s for total speed downloading
(at this speed, you may wait a few minutes to have acces by the browser to files and you cannot read files by VLC for example)


That's for my DNS-313

Is it normal to have multiple instances of transmission running?

I did a ps aux | grep -i "transmission"

and got

1863 nobody   /ffp/bin/transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
1877 nobody   /ffp/bin/transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
1878 nobody   /ffp/bin/transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
1936 nobody   /ffp/bin/transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
1937 nobody   /ffp/bin/transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
1938 nobody   /ffp/bin/transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
1940 root     grep -i transmission

Transmission normally has 3 processes running at the same time. Looking at the process IDs, it seems to me you have 2 separate instances of Transmission running at the simultaneously.

I see, thank you!

Is there any particular place these files need to go? Can they just go into my /home/root/ directory or do they need to go in /mntHD_a2/?
