Transmission

Afterthought: This was after the upgrade to Transmission 4.0.0.

First the 4.0.0 upgrade which worked fine for a few days. Then the forced power cycle crash. Then restart, now I can't use magnet links any more.

After years of uneventful use of Transmission (MacOS) I have a new and strange problem. In the past (for years) if I clicked on a Magnet link, I got a popup message asking if it is OK to open application 'Transmission'. I would say OK, and the torrent would be added to the Download queue in my runni...

I have a DL that is in a very strange state. Transmission thinks it is complete. Of 10 files in the torrent folder, 3 are corrupted (media that cannot be played with any standard player). They are nevertheless recognised by the OS as being of the correct media file type (i.e. not "data" or...

I thought that the queue worked kinda like this: S torrents are seeding, and W torrents are waiting to seed. When one of the seeding group stalls, after a certain elapsed time T, Transmission gives up on it and checks those waiting to seed, to find out if there is demand for one of them right now. T...

I was just reading a comparative review of bittorrent clients https://www.applegazette.com/mac/top-5-bittorrent-clients-macos/ and it features (prominently) a "Categories" feature in Transmission... just DL'd v3 in hope of using this feature, but can't find any switch that looks like it wo...

This is a strange behaviour, or so it seems to me, but maybe it's how Transmission is supposed to work? I finally figured out how to implement idle timeouts, or I thought I had anyway! I turned on "stop seeding when inactive for 30 minutes." What I thought this would do: stop trying to see...

(yes, I know that's a pretty old MacOS! been busy dealing with Mojave on multiple Hackintoshen and have not got around to upgrading the trusty old iMac that "just works"...) I observe with some frustration that Transmission on this iMac is not switching away from seeds that go idle (even f...

This is a new problem, not experienced before. I usually have a few torrents running on a semi-retired host. In the past, it has weathered the occasional power hit without trouble. However, recently we had an outage which perhaps occurred during a disk write or logfile update; at any rate when I res...

greetings all more experienced users (which is everyone) -- I've been googling around and have not yet found any key to the output fields for transmission-remote -l specifically the last few fields ... 100% seeding at 250 KiB/s [6.66] the last number in square brackets -- is that the upload/download...
