Works super. Changed from the normal Torrent to the SEAKY's CTCS and works a lot faster. Now I can get the 400 kb/s instead of the 70 that I got normally. And the installation was really simpel.
Still misses a bulk upload function of torrents and i'm unable to remove torrents, but thats all..
I'd venture to guess that suck a drastic increase in download speed has to do with the fact that transmission is capped at 60 peers max and SCTCS not. I don't see what else would make such a big difference.
Transmission has now officially released 0.7
See http://transmission.m0k.org/ for details.
Additionally Transmission got its own daemon with RPC support.
With http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/5947 nothing really changed, except that there are now two daemons available.
I will still support transmissiond, but looking forward to change to official daemon as there are provisions for GTK+ remote client and also CGI scripting.
I've talked to Joshe about daemon change and he is willing to accomodate necessary changes to remote/daemon for CGI interface.
That's great news. An official daemon with sufficiently flexible settings will open the way for better clients.
Hi,
It there any way to change the name of ".watchdog" file? I'm using FAT32 filesystem, so filename starting with a dot is not an option:
Code:[admin@asus etc]$ /opt/sbin/transmission_watchdog
touch: /opt/hdd/transmission/work/.watchdog: Invalid argument
rm: cannot remove `/opt/hdd/transmission/work/.watchdog': No such file or directory
Issue:
Code:sed -i -e 's/.watchdog/_watchdog/g' /opt/sbin/transmission_watchdog /opt/share/www/cgi-bin/transmission.cgi
It works!
Thanks, Oleo. I should have guessed that transmission_watchdog is a shell script..
I'm having the same problem. "Transmission daemon is not running."
Tried to press watchdog button, and to issue transmission_watchdog from command line but still nothing happens.
On the other hand, if I install torrent and ctorrent packages it works, but there is process btget, which is using too much memory. At start it is using maybe 2-3% of memory (seen with top command), and at the end system must kill that process because it says it's out of memory. I was tracking it and it really uses more and more memory. So in some 30 min it will waste all of it.
Can someone tell me how to solve either one of these problems so I can start downloading.
TNX!!!
Transmission works for most cases. I suggest reading http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Transmission and maybe also
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/Optware-uClibcBuild
You cannot have transmission and torrent together.
See your system log for output of transmissiond.
TNX!!!
I finally got it working with SCTCS. It also has some problems (creates very big log file with something like input : Transport endpoint...) but if I delete that log file it doesn't create it again, so I guess it's nothing really bad, or am I wrong.
Thank you anyway!
Hvala :)
Versions of transmission from r2199-r2274 have some problems with hash FAILED checking. It is recommended downgrade to stable version r1874 until bug #246 is resolved.
Bug resolved! It was not a bug really.
Hi all!
Oleo, please help me!
I have installed most of the much wanted services on my 500gP, but can't seem to finish with Transmission.
Originally I have installed it with the newest gnuplot, it has been working, but received an error message that it had missed some library - so as you have suggested I have downgraded gnuplot.
Since then, my torrents are not running, and I get a lot more error message like:
.status not found for,
Unable to find recent transfer stats in syslog
opt/share/www/cgi-bin/transmission.cgi: /opt/share/www/cgi-bin/transmission.cgi: 694: /opt/bin/gnuplot: not found
Please help to overcome these.
Thank you
Tamas
Try tu run gnuplot manually from command line and issue simple command liketo verify it is working. I suspect, that you do not have uclibc-opt installed.Code:print 1+2
Thanks Oleo!
I have corrected my installation, and now it is working. I can download and seed torrents. It had been working for 12 days flawlessly.
However my box developed a strange behaviour lately. Torrent processing stops completely after a while. When I reboot the rooter or restart processing, it starts to check the torrents, works for a while, but then stops again for no obvious reason. Router and wireless functions are working, only torrent processing stops completely - without an error message in the torrent log. My main problem that I cannot even push the torrent of which checking is in progress - so it starts over and over.
What more information do U need to investigate the problem?
Thank you
Tamas
Try to move .torrent to $SOURCE and remove other torrent files from WORK. Then push torrent as it was start from scratch. This is known issue if you upgraded transmission to r2xxx and left some unfinished torrents.
THX.
I solved my problem in a way that paused processing, deleted files from work and restarted transmission.
As I started to use transmission regularly I have found it very stable and nice tool. Thank you Oleo.
One new question though.
It seems that my tracker does not get updated when I suspend torents or restart transmission. So as my tracker enables limited amount of slots I run into situations when I cannot dowload. On my PC I don't have this problem, as both uTorrent and Bitcomet updates the tracker properly. I can live with this - it means only that real download starts an hour later, but it would be nice to eliminate this.
Any idea?
THX
Check out r2555-2 and test for the difference. Stopping and disposal are now partitioned and there is a longer grace time to dispose stopped torrent than before that we wait only 5 seconds ot stop otherwise torrent was disposed.
I did not noticed such problems described, tested latest version and it also works well. I think. See http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/6591 for details.
I have little problems with transmission..
After downloading 50% of file, it says: I/O error.
I have the latest transmission installed.
When I try to push the file again, it works for 5secs and then says the I/O error again.. :/
I have tried 2 different trackers and both say same, another is private tracker and another is puplic...
for I/O errors you should recheck your filesystem for errors with e2fsck -f -y /dev/disk/... on unmounted disk. If this does not helps try to remove work files and start over with .torrent file only.
I removed the whole torrent folder and made them all over again, now it works.
Now I have another problem; How can I set the max upload speed to all torrents?
The "transmissiond -u 47" doesent work.. neither does "transmissiond -u 47 active-torrents.txt"...
Am I doing it wrong?
RTFM. edit /opt/etc/transmission.conf
Thanks :o
I feel so stupid :D

Pls if you got some time help me out gtg sleep sorry if i am bein a little bitch or naggin just keepin gettin failure or i am stupid
Your /opt transmission is read-only. You must have ext3 partition writable.
Starttransmission_watchdog manually to see what happens syslog messages.
so i do the tutorial all over again and how do i make it writable
e2fsck -f -y /dev/disk/...
mount -o rw,noatime /dev/disk/... /opt
Thats what it says
[admin@Asus root]$ transmission_watchdog
rm: remove `/opt/var/run/transmission.pid'?
/opt/sbin/transmission_watchdog: kill: 304: (281) - No such process
[admin@Asus root]$ e2fsck -f -y /dev/disk/...
e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007)
ext2fs_check_if_mount: No such file or directory while determining whether /dev/disk/... is mounted.
e2fsck: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/disk/...
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
thats what it says now
well i did this
/dev/discs/disc0/part2: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
but this doesnt work
[admin@Asus root]$ mount -o rw,noatime /dev/discs/disc0/part2 mount: Cannot read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
do i have to do tthis to part 3 also or no the tmpharddisk because i did
harddisk is rw when i looked into mount but opt is ro so ur right
but i cant do the second command u told me
try flashfs disable, reboot, then umount all, swapon /dev/disk/.../swappart, e2fsck -f -y /dev/disk/.../optpart
well this is wat i get now
[admin@Asus root]$ mount
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro)
none on /dev type devfs (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 on /opt type ext3 (rw)
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 on /tmp/harddisk type ext3 (rw,noatime)
is the last line right
so i still get ext3 noatime but everything else is ok except for this one problem
and this one i go to transmission and push the torrent
.status not found for /tmp/harddisk/torrent/work/Dragon_Ball_Z_Complete/Dragon_Ball_Z_Complete.torrent Start: 07 Sep 15:51
any ideas pls
i have got everything to work but i just want the firewall settings to be fixed because i am not connected to all the peers how do i do that oleo thanks
I already feel so much smarter :D --^
