WL-500gp and Transmission

**happymeal** · 18-12-2007, 13:32

Hi folks, my first post here !
First of all : Oleg, thank you, and thank you all guys for you effort.
My brick is working almost perfectly with 1.9.2.7-8 firmware with samba2(vista ultimate ok!), uShare and Transmission.
I'm using a 120GB USB HD but something strange happen with Transmission.
It's quite fast downloading(reaches 300kB/s) but as soon as the the file has been completed it disapear! Both from work and target folder !

Does anybody experienced this problem?
Thanks for your help and have a merry christmas !

No such problem experienced. Check what is doing transmission_watchdog when moving files from work to targer. Disable cron and run manually with

Code:

sh -x /opt/sbin/transmisison_watchdog

Missing cache files is not a problem!

Oleo, I've just removed and installed again transmission and now it works like charms... always thanking you for Transmission dev/support.

**ma_lav** · 26-12-2007, 14:52

Oleo, what's happen with transmission? Now it's just one big bug.
1. If where is no space on HD transmission continue download file. Where is no any messages about it. I've downloaded around 120Gb of trash.
2. After update (today 26/12) previous version was updated around 3-4 days ago transmission update/redownload all seeded files.

P.S. It was very good client for torrent, but which bug would be next?

**oleo** · 26-12-2007, 17:34

I am just humble follower of the libtransmission development. I've suspected such problems. If you press Help you will see my warning:

With introdution of 0.9x libtransmission library many changes happened.
Most notable is new developer, that brought new ideas such as libevent
instead of threads, encryption support, PEX, ban peers, ..., and new bugs.

Lets hope that new versions will be better. Happy new year.

**zheka_ppp** · 27-12-2007, 16:22

oleo, is there a way to recheck torrent files in 0.96 ?
When I deleted corresponding hash-files in
$HOME/.transmission/cache/
and
$HOME/.transmission/torrents/

it started to download again instead of checking files.

Thanks in advance

**oleo** · 09-01-2008, 10:46

Hm. There is also transmissioncli for that.

**Garluk** · 01-03-2008, 14:31

I have upgrade transmission via ipkg at 1.06+ (5170) width no error.

After update trasmissiond crash and non run.

If I type from shell

Code:

/opt/sbin/transmission_watchdog &

and after few second type

Code:

ps xaf

I get

Code:

 7939 ?        Ss     0:00 [transmissiond]
 7941 ?        S      0:00  \_ [transmissiond]
 7942 ?        Z      0:00      \_ [transmissiond] <defunct>

I've tried to suspend all download. Transmission doesn't crash and appear in the process list!

With transmission active if I've tried to resume a torrent from suspended: transmission crash and the daemon disappear from process list.

I've tried to reboot router with no effect.

I don't say why transmission doesn't work!

Can anyone help me?

**kevinqli48** · 01-03-2008, 15:34

I had the same problem with the same sympton. Please help

.

BTW, is ctorrent any better than Transmission ?

(wl-500gp router mode pppoe/oleg firmware/300gUSB/USBprinter)

**oleo** · 01-03-2008, 20:36

I've also noticed that and udated to 1.06+ (5177) and now it works.
See http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/7891
Please report here if transmission 5177 will not work for you. Wait for ipkg.

**kevinqli48** · 01-03-2008, 22:16

Transmission appears to be working now. Thanks

**Garluk** · 02-03-2008, 10:27

I have suspended all torrent, removed .transmission directory and the other support file. I've restart router.
Transmission don't crash. I've reactivate all torrent and now transmission appaer to be working.

Hi! How to manage big torrents? I have 2Gb swap and download torrents about 8Gb normally. But when I try to download 30Gb torrent then nothing happens and the log says:

Code:

Mar  7 15:14:42 kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 3615 (transmissiond).
Mar  7 15:14:42 kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 3618 (transmissiond).
Mar  7 15:14:42 kernel: Out of Memory: Killed process 3619 (transmissiond).
Mar  7 15:14:42 kernel: VM: killing process transmissiond
Mar  7 15:14:42 kernel: VM: killing process transmissiond

so the process is being killed
how to manage this issue?
