Transmission

This bug is present in 0.9.27 version.
And 0.9.27 is very old version (released in Jan-2005).
Upgrading is not possible, because root fs hardcoded in AzBox's ROM as CRAMFS. Reflashing of ROM is not a trivial operation.
But, IMHO, adding checks for MIPS and uCLibc in configure to not use pread ...

Yes !!! This is it.
pread() and pwrite() is broken in uClibc 0.9.27.
Without it transmission works perfect.

UPD: It's a known problem: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/ucli ... 27653.html

Ok. I'll try.
Results will be reported.

What do you mean "walk through the changes between 1.77 and 1.80" ?

Can't help you with that cross-compilation stuff (makes me go cross-eyed!), but I'm wondering if you have tested with a known uncorrupted torrent such as an Ubuntu iso?
Is this applicable?
I wrote, that in 1.77 or lower all works perfect.
Same torrent and same libs with 1.80 or higher doesnt work ...

Helo.
I'm cross-compiling transmission for my Sat-Reciever/MediaTank AzBox HD Premium.
