Im sorry for the stupid question... but where am I suposed to copy this code?

[bugmenot]

I extended your script a bit. Also using some stuff from other sources, particularly the transmissionbt-wiki.

It now does the following:

-Remove torrents that are finished and done seeding (or just sit around idle).
-Move completed torrents to download dir.
-Add new torrents from torrent-folder, given there is space left in the dl queue.

Did I forget anything?? Without the need to seed, this would be simpler, but we wanna be got bt-citizens after all...

exit 0

I'm still testing this. use at your own risk.

I am able to connect to the web interface using http://192.168.1.1:8008/cgi-bin/transmission.cgi but trying to connect through Transmission Remote I get an error saying "The remote server returned an error: (501) Not Implemented.

My settings in Transmission Remote are:
Host: 192.168.1.1
Port: 8008

I just upgraded to transmission 1.71 and using transmission-remote-dotnet 3.9

Can anyone help? I have looked everywhere to resolve this problem and dying to use Transmission Remote ratehr than the web interface.

Buddy

The port on transmission remote should be 9091 NOT 8008.

I have installed transmission according to Wengi's great tutorial and it has worked fine since then. However now I would like to run it as non-root user.
How should I do this? Should I ipkg install sudo? Should I use some configuration option in transmission's settings.json? Or some other way?

Oh, and one more thing I haven't figured out in Transmission: How can I set upload rate for a single file? In the web gui there's only option for global settings. And transmission-remote doesn't seem to have any options for this either. I know the OS X version has this function.
(And yes I've asked the transmission forums too... no replies )

there is no such thing as sudo on the router
but I guess you've set up an account with adduser?
when you assign the user to a group that has rights to run it, it might work?
never tried it really, one user is enough

Hi guys,
I´ve tried both scrtipts, but no one works.
First probably doesn´t work, because transmission uses password. The longer script give me this error codes:

Any idea whats wrong?

Just for your information:

• New transmission 1.80 is available with support for magnet links and trackerless torrents (see http://transmissionbt.com
• Unfortunately this version frequently crashes - in my case it survives from 5 minutes to 1 hour.
• My recomendation is to stay with older version until fixes are made

[maslokm]

There are patches to rtorrent that add magnet links support.
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-com...t-link-support

Maybe somebody compile it for Oleg.

Hi! Im using olegs firmware and transmission, yesterday i used the web gui to download 2 torrent files. (one torrent is a 5G file, other is like 200 files per 200 MB) Everything was working fine, but later i tryed to check the progress but the web interface does not load. What can i do? I installed everything according to the tutorial in this forum. Im using a 1TB external HDD. Thank you for any help.

[gusman]

If you are using new transmissionbt version 1.80 -> probably it has crashed.

You should probably downgrade to 1.76 or 1.77 and wait for bugfixes.

[gusman]

Additionally new versions (1.80 1.81 1.82) have speed problems: downloads are very slow

[badyto]

Thanx for advice, but how can i tell which version i am running? :-) And how can i downgrade?

Edit: Ok i connected to SSH and typed "reboot", after that i was able to access the gui, when i clicked the preferences, theres a small 1.80 at the bottom. :-)
Now i have to figure out how to downgrade... Oh and 1 more question, can i acces the gui from work? :-) thx!

Edit1: SSH & reboot does not work anymore, i am not able to run my gui...

Edit2: I found out that web gui doesnt work on google chrome... In IE8 is everything fine :-) But i still didnt figure out how to connect to the web gui from work...
