transmission the latest the greatest

[wpte]

wpte -> so you think that slow samba transfer rate (I have 2mb/s both over WIFI and cable) within the local network is also limited by router processor?

I do not only think it is
When you benchmark the harddrive on the router it is capable of reaching ~40MB/s BUT programs like samba or transmission do other things than just write/read to/from the harddrive...
samba is quite a heavy protocol you know...
and transmission requires hashing (generating checksums) which is also a cpu intensive job

With my new RT-N16 which has a way faster cpu + more RAM things go a lot faster, up to around 8MB/s

hi
(sorry if this has been asked before)
i am trying to get transmission to only download/upload after 12 midnight
till 8am i have tried settings in web gui and transmission remote but it still downloads all the time ?
do i need to edit the settings file or something as well ?
thanks for any help

You can start and stop the transmission service with a cron script.

simply use

/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon start
/opt/etc/init.d/S90transmission-daemon stop

thanx for reply
so i put that into - /opt/etc/crontab ?

[wengi]

This will be two seperate lines in crontab.
Have a look at http://www.d9x.net/linux/guides/crons.php

I've been trying to find the answer how to change the transmission folder to be read/write enabled so that I can easily move and upload files in the samba network. Right now I don't have any permission to even access the folder and I've set all the settings in samba to be read/write so don't know whats wrong?

[Stewa]

It should works.
first check permission to folder and set
chmod 777 "dirname"
chroot admin:root

if this wont work, try to access to folder over ftp, to debug if problm is in samba.

[MacWahle]

Thanks for the reply! It worked out great! If anyone would stumble up on this problem in the future I typed the following in the terminal

chmod 777 /tmp/harddisk/transmission
chmod 777 /tmp/harddisk/transmission/download
chmod 777 /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config
chmod 777 /tmp/harddisk/transmission/config/torrents

So now it's easy to move around and delete files in windows shared network

Hi there,

I am looking for a way how to make Transmission to set user and group nobody to all new files being downloaded. How to do it?

The reason why is that I want to be able to move them around and have same properties as all other files do and so when accessed from FTP to be readable... If possible I don't want to do it post download with some script containing chown...

Now all new downloads are user:admin group:root 644

The other question, I tried to change umask in settings.json but after restart it became the same again e.g. now is 18 (~022), I try to change to 2 (~002?) but after restart of transmission in settings.json is again 18... Any idea why it is changing back?

[marriouss]

For umask in transmission: try stopping transmission before setting umask in settings.json. Restart transmission afterwards.

2)ipkg update
3)ipkg install openssl
4)ipkg install libcurl

5)download and unzip:

6)copy the ipk file to /opt folder on your asus
7)edit the file /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/optware
and remove the lines belonging to transmission

-ipkg install /opt/transmission_2.00+r10706-1_mipsel.ipk (or install the previous compiled version)

Thanks 56k but that version seems older than avberks ( 2.00+r10706-1).

One thing I noted with 2.00+r10706-1 is the the preferences dialog still says its 1.93 ...
