Besides, since this is a pure Javascript issue, you can patch your web interface yourself. Just open the .js file at /ffp/share/transmission/web/javascript/transmission.js in an editor and insert the line from the patch at the appropriate location.

Thanks, that obviously WORKS!
Me bad - I just didn't take a look into the code to see thats just JS and its not embedded into compiled app.

KyleK, many thanks - you are the best!

I'm with a ISP which has a transparent Proxy (read below).
i know you can use DynDNS so that Azureus can resolve the hostname you setup to get your IP address, and then Azureus can pass the IP onto the tracker. Is there any way of doing this with Transmission?

<isp name> Internet uses a transparent proxy on port 80 for HTTP communications. This transparent proxy can cause problems when using BitTorrent. When you download a torrent, your client communicates with the torrent tracker, and the tracker tries to determine your IP address. If the torrent tracker is running on port 80 the communication is going through <isp name>’s transparent proxy and the tracker will most likely detect the IP address of the transparent proxy instead of your IP address (some trackers are smarter and can still detect your correct IP). The way this issue is resolved is by setting up your client to send your real IP address to the tracker. Some trackers however, can reject this IP address so it is not a 100% foolproof method (Although the failure is very low).

If the tracker does not have your correct IP address, it will cause problems with connectivity to other peers. The tracker sends the IP address it has out to other peers, so that they can connect to you remotely. Being not “connectable” like this will result in much slower downloads.

Please ask this at the Transmission forums (http://forum.transmissionbt.com). This place here is just for things specific to the DNS-323/CH3SNAS.

Hi Kylek.

I keep on getting permission denied when uploading torrents using transmission.

I save the files at /mnt/HD_b2/Videos and keep on getting the said error. I have even tried typing chmod 777 -R Videos but no effect.

I only get this error when using transmission. I have no problem manipulating files inside the Videos folder using windows explorer.

I tried using utorrent to download the file to the same location and I had no problem.

Transmission v1.93 is available from the first post. Enjoy!

Ok getting a weird error with Version 1.92.

All my Downloads settings are pointing to /mnt/HD_a2/Data/Downloads i've only got 1 drive installed atm
Sometimes when i add a torrent the download directory points to /mnt/HD_b2/Data/Downloads <-- there is no directory and the torrent doesn't start till i remove it and add it in again and it gets the right directory.

I have checked the settings.json both downloads directory say   

"download-dir": "\/mnt\/HD_a2\/Data\/Downloads",
"incomplete-dir": "\/mnt\/HD_a2\/Data\/Downloads",
"incomplete-dir-enabled": false

i also use a GUI but all the settings in there say the same.

What user does Transmission run as?
Who is the owner of /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon (and its subfolders)?
How do you start Transmission? Did you ever start it directly (calling transmission-daemon)?

An error message won't get any clearer than "Permission denied": It simply means Transmission as a program is not allowed to create or write to files in a) the download folder oand/or b) the settings folder.
When using the startup script, the default user is "nobody". Whenever you run Transmission as another user (e.g. 'root'), file rights will change and next time you start as "nobody" things won't work anymore. This problem has been dealt with multiple times in this thread before.

The owner? -- How do I check the owner? I installed transmission using the default settings
How do I start transmission? -- I telnet and just type /ffp/start/transmission.sh start on the root directory

I never had this problem before. It started yesterday without me doing anything after I noticed that transmission stopped working. I could save anywhere on the drive by specifying any folder using transmission but it crashed yesterday and upon starting it up again it acted that way.I get the permission error but the 5 files that I was downloading previously, resumed downloading.

I also noticed transmission to have stop randomly 2x in a span of 4 hours since the crash.

I suggest you look for a little crash course on Linux on the net, like this one: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/unix-or-l … ights.html

Then check the settings folder and change the rights accordingly.

Alternatively, you may also start from scratch (by deleting the folder /mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon), but you'll lose all your settings and will have to re-check any partially downloaded torrents.

Edit: There is even a section in the very first post where your issue is dealt with! Please read up on your problems first, especially if they've been answered multiple times before.

No.

Transmission keeps getting segmentation fault every time I try to upload a torrent on the webui, I have no other torrents active, and when I try to add  http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu … so.torrent it crashes, and keeps segfaulting when I try to restart it, untill I manually remove the torrent file.

Transmission 1.93 (10625) on a DNS-323

It segfaults on all torrents.

I found the cause of my segfaults.  when I upgraded to the current transmission, it erased my  "download-dir" settings in settings.json, so it was trying to save the torrents on /, which it can't.  So problem solved now.  Maybe tell  people to readjust thier settings.json after an upgrade, or better yet have the upgrade copy over all the old settings.

An update normally doesn't touch your Transmission settings, as funpkg doesn't even know where the settings.json is located at. If there is a problem with the settings after upgrading, the Transmission developers must have changed some code that deals with the preferences.

I'm glad you fixed it though :)

Nah, the that feature hasn't been part of the official releases, I used to include it in my builds only. 1.93 is a build from pristine sources, that's whay that feature is missing.

I believe though that this made it into the official source base just recently (in some form or other) and will be part of the 2.0 release.
