Transmission

I deleted all the settings files except this one, /home/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json and no new one was added so it must be the one I'm using. I just wonder why that transmission-daemon -d doesn't work for me because it isn't reflecting my actual settings file. Perhaps it's ...

Yup, right mouse click and chose "select data location". Set that to the new location then hit "verify".

Yup, the old file sharing community is dying down. I remember when you'd have thousands of seeds but now you just hope and pray.

My system is;
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release: 12
Codename: bookworm

Anyone know what transmission-daemon -d is actually reading?

I ask because I've proven it isn't the actual config settings transmission is using. So I am ...

It's verifying data chunks you currently have so it doesn't need to redownload those chunks. Large filed to take a while to verify.

Transmission has an android app that can notify you when files complete.

As we see P2P die a horrible death, I have about 800 torrents that I want to keep sharing as long as someone wants them. Because of my ISP's data cap, I have my upload capped at 200KBs. In the past, I had all the torrents set to upload but noticed most were sharing at about 2kbs. To better portion ...

Got a new problem, when transmission closes it's resetting the premission on my dht and stats files to root?

drwxrwxrwx 5 transmission transmission 4096 Jan 23 21:11 .
drwxrwxrwx 3 transmission transmission 4096 Jan 19 00:03 ..
drwxrwxrwx 2 transmission transmission 4096 Oct 6 2014 blocklists

Anyone ever see this command?

transmission-daemon -g /home/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon

Found it in this thread https://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?t=11099 by rb07 and it fixed my config problem.

I have no idea what change it made or why I couldn't make that change before ...

Got another clue... I changed my daemon file to;

ExecStart=/usr/bin/transmission-daemon -f --log-debug --logfile /var/log/transmission.log

And I got;

[2022-01-22 20:37:01.045] LPD Local Peer Discovery initialised (tr-lpd.c:409)
[2022-01-22 20:37:01.045] Using settings from "/home/transmission ...

I'm at my wits end, I can't figure out why transmission keeps starting as "root" instead of the username "transmission".

Here are all the config files I can think of:

-----
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon

### END INIT INFO

NAME=transmission-daemon
DAEMON=/usr/bin/$NAME
USER=transmission
STOP ...

solved... For debian I needed to install transmission-daemon

"aptitude install transmission-daemon"

Then edit file "/etc/default/transmission-daemon" or "/etc/init/transmission-daemon.conf"

for you box...

What command do I use to start transmission from cli on a linux server?

I had to reinstall my headless debian server from scratch and am trying to get the applications working again. I installed transmission 2.92 from the repository using "aptitude install transmission". However, the application ...

I got them to sart working by restarting the service.

But something is strange going on, what I noticed is before the restart, none of the *.part files were in my normal download directory. They are there now that I restarted transmission but I wonder where there were going before and why they went ...

See attached screenshot, what causes torrents to stop for no apparent reason. I try "force start" and other commands from the remote gui but they don't make a difference. And I don't see anything in the logs that might indicate why they're stopping like this. I can add a torrent and it download just ...
