Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

Thanks KRH for opening my eyes. My ISP blocks that port but with an open proxy I can download it now.

Here's a nightly version of Transmission 1.76+ (this will become 1.80 at some point in the future): Transmission-1.76svn.tgz
I provide this so anyone who complained about high CPU usage and unresponsive behaviour can check it out and see if it's better now.
Please be aware that this is not very well tested and may crash on you. So, only install if you really have speed problems, and don't mind if it crashes.
(Remember: when it crashes it will re-verify all loaded torrents once you restart. This can be a PITA with many (large) torrents loaded).

I think my ISP might be blocking me from downloading from your server. I know I can access it from my school, so the next time I go I will download it from there and try it out at home. I'll let you know how it goes when I can do that.

Try again.

THAT WORKED!! I'm running with 8 torrents and my CPU stays around 50%, which was what it used to be. That patched version definately corrects the problem in my DNS-323. Thanks KyleK for making that!

Thanks KyleK
That worked Champ!
Can any one show me a howto: to set up blacklisting IP's. (Ie Safepeer)

I forgot the exact procedure, but it involves putting this on your DNS and running.
http://www.shadowandy.net/2008/11/block … loader.htm
Also, be sure to enable blocklist in your settings.json and check your log once you boot back up to make sure X number of IPs have been blocked.

for block lists easy style, if you use the Transmission .NET GUI at http://code.google.com/p/transmission-remote-dotnet/
within that you can go "Options" "Remote Settings" then "Update Blocklist" and you are done.

KyleK: Is the incomplete directory stuff included in that 1.76+ SVN build that you posted above? If so, how is it enabled? If not, will that functionality be in 1.80 for sure?
Thanks!
Offline
Yes, should be included. You set the incomplete folder via transmission-remote:
KyleK@CH3SNAS:~$ transmission-remote --help | grep incomplete -c --incomplete-dir <dir> Where to store new torrents until they're complete -C --no-incomplete-dir Don't store incomplete torrents in a different location
Offline
Hmmm...
I just double-checked, and that option isn't available in the binary that I downloaded. Maybe I downloaded the wrong build. Just to be sure, which file should I be getting?
Offline
Well, either I had overwritten the archive recently, or I packaged the wrong binaries from the very beginning! Very strange.
I updated the link a couple of posts above.
@TylerD004 You should probably also redownload it. I'm not sure anymore the build I made for you even contained the fix you wanted
Offline
Thanks, KyleK. Do you mean this file: http://kylek.is-a-geek.org:31337/files/ … 76svn.tgz?
If so, I downloaded it again, and I'm still not seeing the incomplete directory options when I do a "transmission-remote --help"
Offline
No, I mean this file: Transmission-1.76svn-2.tgz. TylerD004's quoting post has the old URL, you gotta go one more up
Offline
Ah, sorry -- my mistake. If you don't hear from me again about this, assume that it's working great and that I'm beyond pleased. Thanks again.

So strange because the one I downloaded instantly fixed the problem! I'll test out this second one when I get back from vacation (about a week)..

Okay, that works wonderfully now.
On to my next question: how does "external-done-command" work (if it does indeed work) and if so, what is considered "done" (done downloading? paused? done seeding?)? I'm asking this, because I'd like to be able to remove torrents that are finished seeding. To be honest, I was hoping the "incomplete-dir" stuff would only move things from the incomplete directory when they were finished seeding so I wouldn't accidentally mess with files that are seeding, for example with a renaming script.
Offline
The external-done-command is highly experimental and is not officially included in Transmission. I left it in by mistake.
The way it works is you set (in the settings.json, while Transmission is shut down) "external-done-command-enabled" to true and
"external-done-command" to a path to a script or executable file.
The script doesn't take any parameters, instead 4 environment variables are set:
T_ID -> the torrent ID
T_NAME -> the torrent name
T_SDIR -> the download folder
T_DONE -> the date when the download finished.
The script fires when the download is complete, not after seed ratio is reached.
Is it really that hard to once in a while go to the Web interface and clear out all finished torrents by hand? I even added a neat "Finished" filter on the filter bar
Offline
Hahaha! Harsh, man. If I'm going to be automating things, I always just try to go as far as possible with it. Thanks for explaining that feature though.

Anybody got a Mac equivalent to this Windows program? (I just installed Transmission on my 323 so I'm still learning.)
Speaking of learning, what's the blacklist? Please give me a URL to either BitTorrent 101 or a Transmission 101 that will get me out of the newbie mode.
TIA.

is it possible to compile the 1.80b3 source ??
thanks

Forgive me for not going through all 34 pages but I'm having what I imagine is a fairly common problem. My torrents are simply not downloading fast enough. My ISP limits at odd hours but after quite a bit of playing around I'm convinced it's definitely transmission / dns 323.
If I pop a torrent in to utorrent on my computer here, even if the download location is my dns 323, I can get a good 200kb/s. I then pop the same torrent in to transmission and get 30kb/s (if i'm lucky!). What's the deal?
This is even with ports forwarded to the DNS 323 and not to my computer.
Upload speed is max'd out but as I'm typing this I'm getting 9.5k/s down and 30k/s up (and that's only because I capped it at 30k/s up)
Any pointers greatly appreciated!
Offline
Ok, first make sure that the port Transmission uses really is accessible from the outside. You can use this link:
http://www.utorrent.com/testport?port=11182
Replace '11182' with your port number (the default is 51413).
Also, limit your upload and download to about 80% of the maximum bandwidth.
To check speeds, download a well-seeded test torrent. I always use the Ubuntu torrents or OpenOffice for testing, since I can always max out my line with those.
Don't download too many torrents simultaneously on the DNS-323, it might not be able to handle them. Also, large torrents may download slower than small ones.
Offline
tested and ports are fine, have limited as you advised, makes a lot of sense!
I think my problem is that I have a fair few large torrents running simultaneously, I didn't think this would have a negative effect but if that's the explanation then fair enough. Thanks for the info! And thanks for doing all this!
