Transmission

You need to be patient. Just let T do its thing and it should clear in a few minutes at most. Caches have to be written to disk and, sometimes unresponsive, trackers need to be notified. Transmission didn't seem to crash like this before. And for what it's worth, no other BT client behaves like thi...

Ever since upgrading to 2.22, Transmission seems to be crashing when I decide to pause a torrent. The UI will freeze, Activity Monitor will show it "not responding", and for some reason it causes the disk to write at a constant 60-80 MB/s. This has happened with both 320GB-7200 and 1TB-520...

I've been using the nightly build for 2 days now and it has been awesome, inactive memory doesn't grow out of control and the system never seems to lose it's snappiness. Before when I would Finish downloading a 4gig or so size file, I usually just let it chug along overnight, the system would be bea...

Inactive memory is memory available to the OS. How the OS uses it is out of our control. Well, in principle we could fadvise(DONTNEED) any data that Transmission has touched. Under Darwin, we could also use fcntl(F_NOCACHE). Not sure whether it'd help. --jch That's something I would look into. Ther...

I think your wrong.

And even if it was just something wrong with my system, there is no reason why Transmission should eat up all the "free" memory and leave "inactive".

I know what inactive memory is, it's just that anytime my system is low on "free" memory, it hangs and lags like I described. Transmission shouldn't use up all of the "free" memory like it does, because it DOES have an impact on performance.

Does anyone else notice that Transmission chews through all of one's "free" memory and leaves them with "inactive" memory? The devs on here tell us that that is just the way OS X handles memory and that it doesn't have an impact on performance. I'm sorry but I really beg to diffe...

I was wondering if transmission fully preallocates disk space for files? Thanks in advance!

bitburner: Would an app. like MacProxy work for you? I would really like to only use my proxy service for torrents only. It definitely does degrade the speed of downloads and I would not want that to be system-wide. I appreciate your suggestion though... It would be useful in that I could use whate...

Thanks for the reply. How is it that that the people that try and track us for downloading material actually get our IP address? Through the tracker swarm right? Just wondering if it would be safe to only use tracker proxy connections (via Transmission) instead of both tracker and p2p proxy connecti...

I've been using Vuze because it has proxy connections (BTGuard SOCKS5) for both tracker and p2p connections and I can't stand its GUI. Just wondering if there are any plans for Transmission to incorporate "proxifying" for both tracker and p2p connections? What are the reasons for currently...

I've been using Vuze because it has proxy connections (BTGuard SOCKS5) for both tracker and p2p connections. Is there any plans for Transmission to incorporate "proxifying" for both tracker and p2p connections? If not, how safe is using a proxy for only tracker connections?
