I`m sorry for opening so many threads, but I always get into troubles with transmission :(

now the problem is "Unable to find recent transfer stats in syslog" when I press update button..
Torrents seems to work since I can see that on private tracker control panel...

what to do now? :confused:

Did you run syslog daemon?



/opt/etc/init.d/S05syslogd start

lale
01-05-2008, 12:38
I got this message



[admin@WL-001E8C3E0A8F root]$ /opt/etc/init.d/S05syslogd start

I get that as well, not sure if it's a problem...

try this


nano /opt/etc/transmission.conf


and change SYSLOG=/opt/var/messages to this: SYSLOG=/tmp/syslog.log

thx for help, but it is still the same...:(

torrents work ok.. but it is nice when you have some stats to see...
hope it`ll be better in the next version...

I've had this problem too after installing 1.9.2.7-10 and following wengi's new tutorial.

I've solved it by setting loglevel=7 in S05syslogd:

OPTIONS="-m 0 -O $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE -S -l 7 -s 0"

and now I have statistics data for transmission.

Is it true that transmission is slower than other torrent clients??

I get this message just above the Update and other buttons:
"opt/share/www/cgi-bin/transmission.cgi: /opt/share/www/cgi-bin/transmission.cgi: 3: /opt/share/www: Permission denied Content-type: text/html "

Also is it possible to change the default transmission port from 8008 tosomething else

But yet everything works fine. Just wondering what that means or doing. Thanks in advance

Maybe it was in the past, but nowadays it runs with good speed on the wl500gp. average somewhere between (100 - 400 KB/Sec)

Personally i am running it with clutch, which in my opinion works more reliable than transmission cgi and is easy to administer.
The drawback of clutch is that you need to have webserver and php running which puts more load on the wl500gp.

Hi everybody,
I have been using transmission successfully according to the setup of wengi, everything works great with the newest firmware. However, when downloading a torrentof course this takes some (or sometimes considerably) bandwith, so then it is convenient to pause transmission. A shame when I find out the next day that I have forgotten to unpause it, so it has been standing still for the night. I think it should be possible for example, to let cron switch it on again, say at midnight. Has anyone any idea how to program this, what is the command that should be used? Or is there any other way to accomplish this?
Best regards,
Ecori:)

Just add a cron job to remove the .paused file.

18-06-2008, 20:39

Thanks for your reply, I hoped you may answer:p
Could you explain me how to do that in cron, I am not familiar with linux, but can copy the commands and learn alot from you:D
Thanks again,
Ecori

Hi,

i guess you are trying to use samba (windows network) to delete the files.
Is it the original samba from firmware or ipkg?

Background: transmission is running as admin (root). So you need admin rights to delete the files. If your samba is NOT using admin as guest account you found the reason...

For some reason my uploads are uploading for an hr and then they die. I check my status on torrent site and it shows that i am not even seeding to them. And on transmission its says seeding but at 0kb/s. However they will be like 4 leechers so i should be seeding any reason y. thanks

oleo
21-06-2008, 21:54
I've noticed this behaviour and found out that the problem lies in latest libcurl. See ticket 1010 (http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/1010) for more details. Nobody complained till now, so I've tought that the problem was "worksforme kind". It helps downgrading to previous libcurl.

What firmware are you using?

dzontra
21-06-2008, 23:17
same problem here. I used "ipkg update&upgrade". Firmware is 1.9.2.7-8.
After that upload is 0kb, then starts later with very poor rate.
In my case, ratio matters, so :( back to windows until resolved.

Hi,

I have some errors after installing transmission, see: http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=101509&postcount=303.

It is a new transmission ver that may cause those errors or It could be something else?

i have a different kind of problem. when i have few torrents in line in transmission sometimes i get this message on status column although the torrent is well seeded.
" Progress: 0.00 %, 0 peers, dl from 0 (0.00 KB/s), ul to 0 (0.00 KB/s) Start: 22 Jun 16:04 uploaded: 0.0 MB "
sometimes it works after transmission_watchdog is run again, and sometimes it remains stuck. if i bypass the torrent and go to the next it seems to work for both torrents.
i seem to be getting this behaviour with some previous versions also.

Could you post your transmission.conf, and tell me what version do you have?

oleo
22-06-2008, 17:26
This and that error is solved with patch to libcurl (http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/8555) and upgrade of transmission to latest revision (http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/8556)

It was a problem in connect timeout and
that latest curl configured

#define HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME_MONOTONIC 1

in config.h although this code seems that does not work on uClibc and possibly on other systems.
For now this patch is applied for uClibc only!

Transmission was for no reason downgraded to 1.22 and that left out transmissiond.

Let's hope that this version will work for all and I will not upgrade transmission for some time unless necessary.

So for all users the recommeded procedure is
ipkg update && ipkg upgrade

mitraku
22-06-2008, 19:40
i have now upgraded to transmission_1.22+r6245-1. let`s hope that my issue is resolved with this version

I must break my promise to accomodate clutch users that only works with transmission 1.22 and not any version later. I've downgraded transmission package with http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/8566.

So if are you using CGI interface with transmission I do not recommend to downgrade transmission to 1.22.
If you are using clutch then downgrade is necessary to get it working.

Let's hope that Clutch people will upgrade their RPC protocol so we can get upcoming 0.30 without hassle.

I use transmission 1.22 on my wl-500gP(with latest Oleg fw), it work's perfectly except on larger torrents (15+Gb). Download speed drops to few kb/s, number of seeders is irrelevant (i tried torrents from 1 seeder to hundreds of seeders).
Is it simply hardware limitation(system load goes up to 2-3) or I can do something about it?

wengi

Hi,

i _guess_ this is because of the hardware limitations.
hopefully you have swap activated.

One more thing you can test is http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=102442&postcount=317

maybe this is just me, but after installing bash my torrents became faster.... subjective impression....

The problem with larger torrents above 40GB is oftenly a cause of excesive disk head movements and a lack of memory for its caching.

Hi,

regarding the transmission port: which webserver are you using?
If it is the default (busybox) you should have a look at /opt/etc/init.d/S80busybox_httpd.
Look for a line like "LISTENING_PORT=8008".

How can I pause the torrents?

lordu
07-10-2008, 13:25
Basically, should be the same
You only need to access transmission-daemon webpage from WAN, trough lighttpd. The same story with ADOS, you can access trough https (lighttpd_ssl)
Try to find on your HDD where is situated the webpage for transmission-daemon. If it is on /opt/share/www/ it's OK, you can easylly fallow the tutorial for lighttpd
If it is not there, you should set lighttpd root directory according to your web page location

Hints(how i'm working):

Add /opt/ to your samba share folder. After it's more easy to access disc_02 and to see where the files are placed inside -more easy- to work ;)
With your vsftpd you can easy add *.torrent to "source" (log on with admin on entire "disc_03" )
For your friends you can place "target" into "ftp_pvt (to be visible from ftp -log on with guest on ftp_pvt)



But you need time for all this thinks
Enjoy !
