Re: How do torrent ratios work?

I'm still using Transmission and still obsessing about the ratios. :) I finally figured out that the seeding ratio is uploaded/total downloaded and not uploaded/torrent size. This is obviously not a big deal, but I wonder why the decision was made to calculate it that way. How much I had to download...

Re: Compiling Transmission from GitHub source

phpBB problems

When I'm editing a post and I click the preview button, I get a phpBB login screen and my post text has been discarded. I stopped trying to use preview, but shouldn't it work? I saved a draft of a post, but could not see how to get back to it. (I used the backspace key to keep going back to get back...

Compiling Transmission from GitHub source

I cloned transmission and now I'm trying to compile it. I know a little C ... but I don't do many builds from source like this. The first thing I ran into was 6 empty thirdparty directories. I downloaded them manually and it gets past that now. I don't know why I had to do that. (Maybe Git would hav...

Re: Ubuntu PPA updated to 3.00

Wow! That's a lot of work accomplished in the current release. Thank you for maintaining this great project. I have been an active user for over a decade - based on when I joined this forum I'm not much of a C programmer, but I just cloned the source and I'm going to try a few tiny mods. Probably no...

Re: Make Transmission Windows Smaller ...

Still here and still want this feature. It's the main thing I dislike about Transmission, a program I have been using for over a decade.

Re: Ubuntu PPA updated to 3.00

Cool! It's been awhile since 2.94. Where do I find 3.0 release notes. The Ubuntu link takes me to a very old thread.

What does "We Cancelled" mean?

Is there a writeup anywhere?

Thanks.
