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

The same problem as well. And in addition program crashes if I add more than 2 downloads and turn on blue turtle with download limits.

You can either edit the config file to not allow download/upload in genereal an then specifie alternate speeds during the morning (http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles <-- config options, you would look for the alt-up/down-xxx settings and the config file is located in the transmission/config directory) or you could add two entries to cron to start and stop the transmission daemon directly in the morning

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?

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.

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?

[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

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