DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Just thought I'd post a Little fix that other might have same isssue
upgraded from 1.72 to 192
upgrade ran w/o errors,
when i restarted I would get 5
/ffp/bin/transmission-daemon -f -g /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daem

normally I think I used to get just 4 back ground daemons
it looks to run OK I added a torrent it would start dn loading then poof ps -a no transmission daemons
I cd to default transmission dir /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
I then deleted all the old
rm resume/*
rm  torrents/*

Now its seems stable

1.92 added an additional thread that libcurl runs in to deal with all the HTTP connections. It's intended and nothing to worry about.

What's the fastest speed that Transmission can achieve? i can only get up to 2MB/s downloading multiple torrents. I have a 100mbps internet connection.

I know this will be a silly question but does the PC affect the download speed of Transmission on DNS323? They are both connected to the router which has a gigabit connection and a throughput of over 100mbps but my PC can only get up to 20mbps download(malware/virus?) of my 100mbps connection. So I'm thinking if my pc is also limiting the download of Transmission.

I'm using Net meter and even if my pc is not downloading anything, it can see the amount of data transmission is downloading

On a properly configured gbit lan with Jumbo frames enabled, I've seen 25MB/s SMB transfers to and from a PC and NAS.
Jumbo disabled, about 17MB/s on gbit lan.
Both those speeds are much higher than 100mbit. The NAS is quite capable of saturating a 100mbit connection, although i'm not so sure about transmission.

now as for internet downloads, your NAS will download completely independent from your PC.  you can shut your pc off, and the NAS will still download.  So your PC is not slowing down your donwload speeds on your NAS.

If you can get 20mbits on your NAS, and 20mbits on your PC, then i'd say you have a 20mbit internet connection.


If you are paying for 100mbit connection, call up your ISP and ask them, wtf?!

Where do you live, and who is your ISP?  100mbit is insane.

That 1.92 version randomly shuts down without any errors in log file. Trying now to catch error via running transmission in screen.

Isildur, do you have enabled the watch-dir? It crashed only when using the watch-dir and adding torrents to it (randomly). No errors in log...

Isiludr, beefy, Frans:

Here's an unstripped version of Transmission. We might be able to use this to figure out why Transmission is crashing for you guys.

Here's what you do:
1. Download the package, install it over your current Transmission install (funpkg -I Transmission-1.92-dgb.tgz should work).
2. Enable creation of core files (crash dumps): type 'ulimit -c 2048'  This will set the max. corefile size to 2MB.
    Note: This is a bash setting, and it's only valid in your current bash session. You'll have to start Transmission out of the same session, or no corefile will be created. You can add this command to your .bashrc if you wish, though.
3. Start Transmission. In screen or background shouldn't matter.
    When it crashes, there should be a corefile somewhere (although I don't really know where :)
4. Send me that file.



To others: If your Transmission isn't crashing, or you aren't willing/skilled enough to follow the steps above, there is no reason for you to download this version. The only difference is that the executables are much larger :)

Seems like my transmission is working now. I think it had something to do with moving Huge amounts of Data from the two volumes at the same time using transmission and utorrent to save files on the NAS.

Hm, so what are you guys doing that I'm not doing? Transmission is running as smooth as ever here, not a single issue.

@zuluwalker maybe you could try the debug build a couple of posts above as well? I'd really like to report to the devs what is happening here.

I'd love to help you and the devs to get this resolved, but unfortunately I can't help right now. I'll be away from my box for a few days and would like to have it crash and problem free before that... When I get back and have some time to mess around, I might.

Thanks for all the builds KyleK!

I went out of town so I turned off my DNS 323 and removed the drive on the right(volume_1) which contained the funplug and transmission files. No alteration was done to the drive.

3 days later, when i got back, I put the hard drive back and now I couldn't start transmission anymore.

i entered the command sh /ffp/start/transmission.sh start

then I get the error "cannot create /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon/transmission-daemon.log: Permission denied

How do I fix this so I can use transmission again?

Just to chime in; same issue as others, it seems - upgraded from Transmission 1.90 to 1.92 = Transmission won't even start.  It tries, I can see several threads launching within top, but then just dies.  No errors in the Transmission log file :(

...reverted to 1.90 and it all is well.

This might be a hassle, especially if you have many torrents loaded into Transmission, but could you please try and delete (or rename) the old .transmission-daemon folder and set it up from the start?

The crash might occur because of changes in the settings files or the resume files.
