For the mac users, keep on eye on this Transmission Remote GUI for Mac OS.

I still have one questions I still haven't been able to fix (but mentioned before here):
When a download is complete I have to chmod 777 it to remove or edit it. Is there any way I can automatically set the rights when a download is complete?

Currently every downloaded file inherits the rights of the user Transmission runs as. Some people are working on a new feature for Tranmission though which would allow running scripts after a file is done. You can use that (once it's implemented) to change the owner & rights of the file.

Alternatively, you can start Transmission as user "nobody" or as the user you access the DNS-323 as. Look at the startup script (/ffp/start/transmission.sh)

Frans · 2009-06-25 16:50:25

I already run Transmission as user "nobody". Should I change this to the user I access the NAS on?

maxim_fr · 2009-06-25 18:58:25

or otherwise you could just access the NAS as "nobody". For instance, it's the default for Samba.

OK, I'm finding 1.72 to be just as light weight as 1.61, althought the new preallocation seems to really chug this poor CPU. I may go back to fast preallocation as I always copied my torrents accross the drives to relieve fragmentation.

Also, I'm finding the peer-limit-per-torrent to be inneffective. My torrents consistently break my peer limit.
Can anyone reproduce that?

cliaz · 2009-06-26 11:16:26

side note, the 'transmission-remote -d0' command (to set download limit to 0 but still allow uploads) no longer acts as it should.
instead it sets download to unlimited. Anyone else had this issue?

KyleK · 2009-06-26 19:10:51

I believe that was changed ages ago. But please, report issues with the program itself to the Transmission developers. I just compile it for the NAS

cliaz · 2009-06-29 13:13:20

heh yea, I just updated lol. Fair point, I'll make contact with them.
Cheers for the continued support dude

Cincitech · 2009-07-10 17:50:49

The download links on the original post appear to be down? Is there an alternate download location?

EDIT: Nevermind that, it's working now. Site must've been down for a few hours for maintenance or something.

Is there an alternative location to download the curl-7.18.1.tgz & Transmission 1.72?
Seems that I have issues contacting the download locations from post#1 for a couple of days now....

Thanks

I had a similar problem where the site and it turned out that my ISP blocks port 31337 from which you need to download curl and transmission. I got around that limitation by using the proxy at http://www.proxapp.com

Hope this helps...

1.73 is out!

I know :)

Download link updated in first post. I haven't had time to test this particular build, please let me know if it crashes or something.

Is there any way to use funpkg and those all packages on chrooted_debian? I've installed every service but I haven't found any way to install transmission. Of course there is way to use apt but only version 1.22 is possible. I was trying to install funpkg but no result. I can't reinstall my whole box because there is too many data on it. I don't want to use mldonkey because it's too heavy for device like DNS-323. I couldn't find any tutorial to install transmission on my DNS-323. Any sugestions are welcome. Especially from you KyleK.

KyleK · 2009-07-20 16:57:57

I'm afraid I can't be much help here, since I don't know a thing about a chrooted debian.
The binaries should still be compatible with the device, however, so you could just extract the package and put the files wherever you like (or where debian expects them to be).

I have tried to create file structure of fonz_ffp in chrooted_debian but no result. Apt installation of transmission was succesfull but I couldn't run GUI or even find config dir and it was only 1.22 version avilable in lenny distro. There was a deamon runnig but no service was avilable. I was trying to cross compile but I'm not linux guru so it failed MLdonkey is very powerfull but as I said earlier it's to heavy.

You can always use rTorrent instead which isn't heavy at all.

For those interested, the latest release includes an inofficial patch that provides "Move completed downloads" functionality. I actually left it in by mistake, but since it's been working well for me, why not give you guys the same privileges

In order to enable this, stop Transmission:

Code:

$ /ffp/start/transmission.sh stop

Make sure it has ended:

Code:

$ ps ax | grep trans

(No process should appear in the list).

Now on to editing the settings file. By default it is located at /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon/settings.json. Open it with an editor (if you're working in the shell I suggest nano. fonz should have it as a package).
There should be an entry like this:

Code:

"completed-dir": "",

Now put your "completed" path in the double quotes. Make sure to escape slashes! (look how it's done at "download-dir" in the same file):

Code:

"completed-dir": "\/mnt\/HD_a2\/Downloads\/#done\/",

That's it! Save the file and restart Transmission. The next time a download finishes it will get moved to the specified folder.
For performance reasons I suggest to use a folder that's on the same drive as the download folder.

Disclaimer: This feature is not included in the official Transmission and might cause problems. I haven't encountered any, but be warned!

Did you try starting it in foreground mode?

Code:

$ transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon

After that open a second ssh connection and check if transmission-remote can connect:

Code:

$ transmission-remote -l

If the daemon is running properly, I don't see why it shouldn't work fully (except if the chroot has a firewall that blocks TCP connections).

i have a problem with latest release....
this is the problem :
when a download has finished and I select it and press the remove button transmission daemon crashes....

this is the line of transmission.log that refers to this crash

"/ffp/bin/transmission-daemon: torrent.c: 2349: tr_torrentCheckMoveCompleted: Assertion `tr_isTorrent( tor )' failed."

Try this one and let me know how it goes. Seems the move-completed patch wrecked some havok.

tureka · 2009-07-21 03:16:23

After a few modifications in my chroot_debian I've succesfully installed 1.73 version on my box using instructions on http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Building. Thanks for any help.

I had the same problem, and the new build (1.73-6) didn't fix it.

nickdns · 2009-07-23 00:50:51

I've removed the old transmission and installed 1.73-5, but transmission remote says:

Transmission 1.72+ (8789) http://www.transmissionbt.com/

Is this expected?
