EDIT: Sorry, shouriken i thougt your message was the last :-/ This "show last message first" configuration is killing me

I think, that I've found solution for all my problems with Transmission 1.32

1. Install 1.32
2. Put into post-mount

Code:

nano /usr/local/sbin/post-mount

line

Code:

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -p 8008 -g /tmp/harddisk/torrent/.config -w /tmp/harddisk/torrent -t --auth   -u USER   -v PASSWORD

3. Move all folders and files from /tmp/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon to /tmp/harddisk/torrent/.config/

4. I've got corrupted downloads afer reboot. To close transmission nicely chanve pre-shutdown:

Code:

nano /usr/local/sbin/pre-shutdown

Add lines (correct me, if there is better way).

Code:

killall transmission-daemon

sleep 30s

5. Save this all

Code:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

Open http://YOURIP:8008/transmission/web

Change preferences (bottom left corner), save them. To make sure everything warks - restart the router and check, if changes in preferencess was saved.

And one note - change port number to old one or edit post-firewall to accept connections on this port.

Hy

Is there a way to put also the 1.22-2 transmissiond on the server?
It was, for me, the best working transmission, with 1.22-1 I have an issue regarding the SEEDING of torrents: It doesn'work, and I had the same issue when the available transmission was the 1.22-1, that untill it was upgraded by the 1.22-2 and everything worked.

Thank you

Im using 1.32, and no matter how many seeders there are i cant connect to more than afew, 12-14 at the max.
How is it with other using 1.32?

Edit: Is there a way to make the web interface prompt for a password if you want to be able to access it from outside your local net?

Please build 1.33 because it support UTF-8

I managed to resume seeding torrents by moving the files existing in

/tmp/harddisk/torrent/.config/transmission/resume
and
/tmp/harddisk/torrent/.config/transmission/torrents

to
/tmp/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/resume
and
/tmp/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/torrents

and restarting transmission-daemon.

I did not have currently downloading torrents, but I think it should work in the same way.

Hi,
If I did this, and after that when I type to command line

Code:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable

I get this error >

Code:

tar: Names longer than 100 chars not supported.

And after restart torrent-deamon is in default state with no torrent added.

How can I correct this ?

I solved this. Just changed path for config files by adding --config-dir option for transmission to startup script, and now transmission works great

I`m just starting with linux, so i`m newbie

**Trailblazer** · 21-08-2008, 04:12

I followed Kaisen's advice and now it works great! The only thing I did different is I put it in /opt/torrent which is where my 1.x transmission was. Works like a charm. Thanks for the help!

Using the idea of wpte presented here

http://wl500g.info/showpost.php?p=107759&postcount=8

I created /opt/etc/init.d/S99trans with the following content:

Code:

#! /bin/sh

case $1 in
        start)
                /opt/bin/transmission-daemon  -w /tmp/harddisk/torrent/target -g /tmp/harddisk/torrent/config
                ;;
        stop)
                if [ -n "`pidof transmission-daemon`" ] ; then
                        echo "stopping transmission-daemon"
                        killall transmission-daemon
                fi
                ;;
        restart)
                $0 stop
                sleep 5
                $0 start
                ;;
        *)
                echo "usage: $0 (start|stop)"
                exit 1
esac

where -w and -g options define the download and the configuration directories.

This way rc.unslung can start/stop the transmission-daemon auto-magically.

Don't forget to

chmod 755 /opt/etc/init.d/S99trans

**GHS** · 21-08-2008, 10:38

Any idea on how to deselect unwanted files in torrent, in order that transmission won't download them? Because i have a torrent with about 10 Imax movies of 45 GB, but I want to download only one movie form them, and I couldn't find how to unselect the other movies.

ah that is fantastic

I'm not really good at writing those scripts

I had some problems starting the stuff, but I think that was because of the "start" parameter? because it did work when I ran it manually

thanks

I've only tried to write something that is similar to the other scripts in /opt/etc/init.d.

The thanks must go to wengi and the others that contributed the "how to" threads.

Hi, I just want to ask you. How much Transmission loads your CPU on WL500gp v2 with private and public torrents ? When i was downloading 1.2 GB torrent from private tracker, transmission ate approx. 40 % of CPU. I know, this isn`t serious test, but I`m just curious

Thanks...
