Re: 2.60 isn't downloading to my chosen destination

Apologies, for some reason a quit, delete of files and restart has placed the torrent in the right place. Problem mysteriously solved!

2.60 isn't downloading to my chosen destination

Hi all, Recently updated to Transmission for Mac 2.60 (13375) and have encountered an error I've not seen before. For some reason Transmission is downloading to my Downloads folder, despite me having set a specific torrent download folder in preferences, and having checked that that destination was ...

Re: How does Transmission decide who to seed to?

Yeah sorry, slipped up there, meant leechers. Thanks for those answers - I understand the basics of what is happening but when it comes down the voodoo of who you actually connect to I get lost! I left three completed torrents seeding overnight to the usual tracker and 10 hours later the session sta...

Re: Why why why won't Transmission seed?

I just tried one - did a complete uninstall of Transmission, every single file, then an installation of a nightly - the same one you mentioned actually. Picked out a few files with over a hundred peers and I'm connecting to about 2 or maybe 3 - occasionally. I've got a reasonably decent upload as UK...

Re: Why why why won't Transmission seed?

download AppZapper or something similar and drag Transmission into it should solve the problem too ;) I've got Hazel, which is supposed to find the files and it didn't. I did a Spotlight search for Transmission and it found nothing, but I dug around in the usual places and found several Transmissio...

Re: Why why why won't Transmission seed?

For a clean install, use Spotlight to find all Transmission support, permission, and cache files, and delete them as well as the app. Excuse my ignorance, but what should I search for in Spotlight? There is nothing with the word Transmission in it that has anything to do with Transmission other tha...

How does Transmission decide who to seed to?

Hi all, I was having a problem whereby Transmission would NEVER seed once a download was completed. After much gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair I've determined that what's actually happening is that files that are downloading are uploading just fine, denying any bandwidth whatsoever to complete...

Re: Why why why won't Transmission seed?

Update: the private tracker still won't upload ever. I just tried uTorrent, set it all up nicely, let it download something from a public tracker, and now an hour since it downloaded and started seeding, it hasn't seeded more than a handful of bytes. So, I'm trying with a private tracker too. We'll ...

Re: Why why why won't Transmission seed?

Hi all, Just coming back in to say I'm still experiencing this problem and not having enough patience is definitely not the issue. Some of these torrents sit there for days and do nothing. These are torrents from both public and private trackers. The private trackers almost never upload while they'r...

Re: Why why why won't Transmission seed?

Thanks - I will give it a try. I already had the correct upload speed inserted but I did change my maximum number of connections as a result of those instructions, so we'll see!

Why why why won't Transmission seed?

Got into Transmission from Vuze/Azureus because I heard it was less of a memory hog, better options, etc. I have to say I've followed all the guides to set it up correctly for my network speeds and so on but I have never had so much trouble getting a torrent to seed once downloaded. Basically, I hav...

Re: I've defected from Azureus/Vuze - questions!

Yup, I've got the auto-pause feature activated already. I'll mak more use of the Filter for batch removing things that have finished seeding. I notice nobody has any solutions for moving a new torrent to the top of the queue at the expense of anything currently downloading. Is this because it's not ...

Re: I've defected from Azureus/Vuze - questions!

That's great, thanks for those tips - the groups tip is a nice one, thanks. On the same note, is it possible to set Transmission up so that any torrent that doesn't meet any set group rules automatically goes into, say, the red group - to save me having to set it on the download approval window ever...

I've defected from Azureus/Vuze - questions!

...and I'm happy to be here! But, I've got questions about things I could do in the Azureus transfer window that I don't seem to be able to do in the Transmission transfer window, and I wondered if the community here would tolerant enough to answer the following n00b questions! 1) Azureus allows me ...
