Transmission

It seems to run much better with the new beta update 2.20b3 !

Don' know what was the matter — and we may never know. But, as long as there's no longer any problem, thats fine by me.

By the way : I just had one little problem that worried me and that seems to be almost the same : I added by mistake ...

I hear you...

Thanks ! That's actually a good idea...

THat being said, and I don't want to speak too soon, but the new beta 2.20b2 seems to be working a lot better ! (and, just as I write that, there's just one little glitch, but the glitches are now more rare and much less serious)... Maybe you've solved it ...

Well... here's an update (with the 2.20b1, but not the sysctrl tweaks, which I don't feel confortable doing, too scared to mess it up).

Transmission does freeze from time to time (a bit more often than I would like — about twice every hour) but it's not a permanent freeze. Eventually, it will ...

Thanks x190, I'll try that...

Just, at first glance, in the thread you gave us, nobody seems to have a definitive answer... It's a lot of tweeking here and there, but doesn't seem to deal with the real problem.

I'm sorry, I just reread what I wrote, and it can sound... well... not very nice. But ...

same here, I have enough RAM — but my activity panel show only 50 Mo or 100 Mo max of the RAM used by Transmission : like it wasn't even there, or that the application just managed the window... Maybe there's another processus somewhere else that I'm missing (dont know exactly how the app works, but ...

Well, I just read your input, and it doesn't seem to work with my theory — or maybe it does : the trouble in your case isn't with writing, it's with reading, but it's the same : the drive can't keep up with all that it seems... (well, Iguess it could keep up if it wasn't doing anything else, like ...

Hello all !

More clues here : I just started a very very big download — 68 Go and maybe 100 or 150 files within files — and everything crashed. My theory now is this : there is a problem with writing — not writing data, but building the file tree, the arborescence... And with closing it, of course ...

Well actually, I have always dled to the internal. But it's the disk where the OS is. Maybe that's the trouble ? As I understand, the disk you're dlding to is not the one where you have your OS installed, is it ?

LAst night, my TRansmission froze again, and took everything with her : I had to close (or force quit) all application and reboot.

It happened just after I started downloading a big torrent. the dl speed were very low at first, but it's a multiple files torrent — and I chose just some files among ...

Sent. hope that helps.

Thanks MacProBob !

Actually, that kind of confirms my theory : there's a problem with the writing of data. Especially when the disk you use to store the dled data is also used by another app( (iTunes or anything else like that that reads a lot). I have the feeling that it's especially at the end of ...

Hi there. Some more info here : my last crash, I was there, working on my computer. One of my downloads had just finished — and, actually, my automator script didn't work, so I'm gonna try to fix that today — and it was just getting started on just uploading. And that's when it freezed.

FYI : the ...

Never mind about the script, I think I was able to do it after all...

But keep me posted on your results : cause the problem about this manipulation is that it will only call the script when it has finished a download : if you have only very big files downloading, it's not gonna help...

thanks ...

I have the exact same problem. and thanks for exposing it so clearly

But two or three things to complete your very fine expose, and, maybe, that could give us a clue :

First, I have to reboot every time it happens, it's very annoying. And it takes an infinite time, if I dont do a hard reboot (i ...
