Understanding and debugging Transmission [oleo?]

[oleo]

Geve us some more logs, trz different torrent. Check permissions on $WORK. Maybe you do not have write permission in $HOME to accomodate .torrent/cache files!

1) I have tried several torrents which I first tested with the Bitcomet client.

2) I can´t find any .cache file where should it normally be created?
In the /tmp/harddisk/torrent/work directory I have the following files:
KNOPPIX_V5.1.1DVD-2007-01-04-DE
transfer.data
transfer.gnuplot

I checked the directory permissions and admin has r/w access.

3) some more logging of /opt/var/log/messages:
Aug 2 21:27:04 transmissiond[365]: 1186082824 1 dl 0.00 ul 0.00 ld 0.14

Aug 2 21:27:22 transmissiond[365]: Stopping torrent /tmp/harddisk/torrent/work/

4) I also have ctorrent installed, is this ok or is it conflicting like torrent?

Hello
I use 500gP with oleg's firmware 1.9.2.7-7g with Transmission 0.7+r2474-1
I have some problems with Transmission.
- Torrent's filename with foreign characters can use with Transmission(Transmission.cgi show correct character and can load it), but filename of loaded file(s) is unreadable, I must use RenameFileFolder.exe to convert it back to my language(Thai).
- If some loading file generate too many "Piece xxxx hash FAILED", it will never finish. The Progress: will be up and down between 91.00% and 91.99%, never reach 92%. I notice that this will happen only large file(more than 4Gbs, my hd filesystem is ext3)

Thanks you for help

Post such request directly to http://transmission.m0k.org/ developers (forum or trac) but try their Linux client first.

Thanks you, Oleo

Thanks for the help!
I'll try to figure it out.

It works!

The problem was:
The torrent directory paths were pointing at a FAT32 partition.
the FAT32 filesystem was mounted on /tmp/harddisk/torrent and I think that transmission needs a ext2 or ext3 filesystem.

The Fix:
I changed the torrent locations $source, $work and $target to /tmp/harddisk/part1/torrent/ (this is a ext3 filesystem) and now everything runs fine!
