Transmission (CLI) on Ubuntu: "No data found" and "Permission denied" errors, despite fully writeable?

Just installed the latest CLI version of Transmission on Ubuntu (used ` sudo apt install transmission-daemon transmission-common transmission-cli `). Then I stopped the service, edited the /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json file to specify the following settings: "download-dir": "...

Re: Individually (un)selecting files makes no difference?

I'm just suggesting it doesn't necessarily need to be saved and written to disk. At least not the parts that belong to files that I don't want to keep. But it does, because you will be seeding that piece while downloading continues and quite likely long afterwards. I see. But technically, would it ...

Re: SOCKS5 Support

+1 for the proxy support. With various copyright industry mobsters increasing their efforts to track down and prosecute people by intercepting BitTorrent traffic, the ability to use proxy servers becomes more and more imperative. Also, being able to connect through a proxy helps to work around restr...

Re: Individually (un)selecting files makes no difference?

Ok, well regardless of how many (partial) unwanted files I'd get, I would say the approach I visualized in the example image above would exactly be what the user want? I understand each piece must be fully downloaded (and verified), I'm just suggesting it doesn't necessarily need to be saved and wri...

Re: Individually (un)selecting files makes no difference?

A late reply to this request, but for argument's sake, suppose I'm downloading a 52 GB torrent, containing 37000 files, and I only need 3 specific files. And I don't have 52 GB free disk space. I would possibly be getting hundreds of partial crap files which I don't need. Couldn't it just download a...

Individually (un)selecting files makes no difference?

When I open a .torrent with Transmission, I get the popup where I can individually (un)select any files in the torrent for downloading. However, I noticed it doesn't have any actual effect, even if I uncheck certain files, they still get downloaded anyway. Is this a bug, or am I mistaken in how this...
