thanks

I couldn't find references to these in the Transmission documentation, but since version 2.10 added a feature to "Support for automatically stopping idle seeding torrents" It seems rather clear what these settings suppose to do: Stop seeding a torrent if it's idle for more than the limit time. I guess that's 30 minutes in your post. The other setting is to enable the feature.

So far I had better luck. It's been running overnight without a problem.

Can you try with fresh settings?

FunFiler · 2010-10-13 04:18:36

I had no issues using an existing config file.

Frans - are you sure that you had not customized the transmission.sh file to write the log to a different location for example? If so, then it would have been overridden when you upgraded to v2.10 and you will have to either make the edits again or copy from a backup. Check/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon (if I recall the name correctly) and see if the logs are there. If it starts and then exits, it is likely there is a log somewhere.

Heh... after upgrade from 2.03 to 2.10 the d/u stats are playing crazy
After download the torrent that's 5.14 GB big the tracker shows 1.14 GB only.
Similar issue with the upload on another torrent: actually 7.06 GB were uploaded, the tracker registered 2.5 GB only.

2.03 didn't have this issues.

KyleK · 2010-10-16 01:15:51

Please report this kind of issues to the Transmission devs. Nothing I can do about, I'm afraid.

blizzak · 2010-10-16 18:36:42

Okay guys, I'm about to reinstall Transmission 2.03 (private tracker does not support anything higher than it) and was wondering if anyone could chime in on my LAN transfer issues. I noticed that anything inside of my transmission folders transfers quite slow compared to stuff that's just sitting on the drive. It's a noticeable difference; a 1 GB file goes 30 MB/s or so and doing the same with something from the transmission download folder it does about 8-9 MB/s.

My best guess is that the torrenting is causing some bad fragmentation for what it's downloading. The free space on my device was also way down recently, like 20 GB free out of 1TB which never helps. So does everyone thing this is the case? Can someone do some testing for me? Or is there something else at play here that I'm not recognizing?

Think I might look into some defragging apps...seems a few exist that will run right on the unit. If anyone has suggestions, I'd be very grateful to hear them.

TIA

FunFiler · 2010-10-16 20:59:48

Do you use the option in transmission to allocate all of the file before downloading? If not, it may help.

Yes, this is most likely due to heavy fragmentation. Transmission has a "preallocation" option in the settings.json which you can set to 2, but be warned: While newer Linux versions have functionality to preallocate continuous chunks of disk space very efficiently, the DNS-323/CH3SNAS is too old to support these functions. Instead, Transmission will fall back to creating all the files of a torrent and fill them with zeros, which with large torrents can take a considerable amount of time.

bound4h · 2010-10-17 17:34:47

How can I find out which version of Transmission I have? I would like to know before I update to 2.1

Anyone know?

KyleK · 2010-10-17 17:38:49

Code:

 $ transmisson-daemon --version

KyleK · 2010-10-17 19:17:43

Transmission v2.11 is now available from the first post.

As you can see above, this is a pure bugfix release.

scaramanga · 2010-10-17 21:37:14

Thank you for the quick update, KyleK.

beefy314 · 2010-10-18 18:01:07

Is there a way to update the tracker via webgui or remote?

I asked this because I use transmission to seed and have recorded 20Gb of upload but the private torrent site isn't registering the amount of data i've uploaded.

Define update: Force Transmission to communicate with a specific tracker regardless of some defined interval? No, that's not possible at all (the devs won't implement anything like it, because people tend to overload their trackers with senseless requests).

If you want to modify the tracker list of an existing torrent, that's possible with transmission-remote:

Code:

$ transmission-remote --help |grep -i "tracker"
   -it  --info-trackers                      List the current torrent(s)' trackers
   -ta  --tracker-add            <tracker>   Add a tracker to a torrent
   -tr  --tracker-remove         <trackerId> Remove a tracker from a torrent

PS: Someone else reported a couple of days ago a similar issue. Please report this kind of stuff directly to the Transmission devs.

Did you noticed that after you installed version 2.10?

Thanx for update kylek!

Hi all,

I'm trying to install the latest version of transmission for the first time, but without success...
I still have "Permission denied" displayed in the web UI after some time, It starts to download (1Mo), then this message is displayed.
I checked all the permission access of the different directories but all seems correct...

Here my settings.json file :

}

What is weird is that my incomplete-dir is always empty (even while it's downloading) and the message displayed indicates
Permission denied (/mnt/HD_b2/Downloads/MyTorrent) while my incomplete dir is /mnt/HD_b2/Downloads/incomplete ...

Here the several directories
drwxr-xr-x 5 nobody 501 4096 Oct 23 05:40 Downloads/

/mnt/HD_b2 # ls -l Downloads/

-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody 501 3888 Oct 23 06:18 transmission-daemon.log

I don't know what else I could try now...

Thanks for your help!

Bruno

KyleK · 2010-10-23 20:55:53

Your incomplete dir has a minus ('-') instead of an underscore('_'). Since that path likely does not exist, Transmission reverts to your home folder, which sits on the Flash. And there you only have a couple of megabyte of free space.

I suggest fixing the path in settings.json, then reboot the device (the flash gets cleared when you reboot).

braziluno · 2010-10-23 22:29:45

Thanks, I suppose it shouldn't help
But, I have still the same issue... my incomplete-dir is still empty and aftersometimes, the download stops and permission denieed is displayed.
I think you are right it fills the flash memory but why ... ?
Any other idea?

thanks

Bruno

braziluno · 2010-10-23 22:32:28

In the preference tab of the web UI, the dowload dir is set to /mnt/HD_b2/Downloads/ which is not what is not coherent with what is in the settings.json file? why?
I try to set /mnt/HD_b2/Downloads/complete but it didn't change anything....

braziluno · 2010-10-23 22:44:23

ok my mistake, I removed the old torrent file, and added it again, and now it seems to work!
thanks for yourhelp!

InBonobo · 2010-10-23 23:12:16

Transmission works great, but is it normal to have 3-4 instances of the daemon in the process list?

Also, has anyone managed to use more than one watch-dir with watch-dir-enabled (as in https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles )?

scaramanga · 2010-10-24 12:28:44

Yes, that's normal. Yes, watch dir works for me. Don't think multiple watch dirs are supported.
