Re: Transmission deleting directories full of downloaded files?
Sorry for the delayed follow-up... been offline for a bit. Still no luck finding/recovering the lost files/folders. Someone elsewhere suggested that plugging the drive into any late-model Windows machine would probably prompt an automatic error recovery process, so I put the drive on a Win10 laptop ...

Re: Transmission deleting directories full of downloaded files?
Searching through the trash on the 1TB drive is among the first things I did: there's a hidden directory called ".Trash-1000" and within it, three subdirectories called: "expunged" (which is empty) "files" (which contains a half-dozen recently deleted items, but not the...

Re: Transmission deleting directories full of downloaded files?
As I was able to find those settings in preferences, I've changed the settings for max peers, random port at start and blocklist enabled per your instructions on both the netbook and my other/main Ubuntu PC... thanks. I'll move the drive over to my other PC and see if I can somehow locate that missi...

Re: Transmission deleting directories full of downloaded files?
You're right: I never heard of Transmission's Remote Program Control function until just now when you mentioned it. As a matter of course, I don't necessarily make it a point to review/understand every available feature in a program or operating system before I start using it ...if that were the cas...

Re: Transmission deleting directories full of downloaded files?
My only protest was in regards to magic being involved. ;-) Per your suggestion, I did check the mount point for the 1TB external drive and there's only that one drive directory there (the drive/mount directory name is a string of letters/numbers). Sadly, there isn't another directory there with a '...

Re: Transmission deleting directories full of downloaded files?
Not sure what you mean by 'Black Magic.' As mentioned, I keep my transmission files (both torrent pointers and the file data they eventually download and upload) in a directory called TRANSMISSION_EXTERNAL on an external 1TB USB hard drive... it's the only external hard drive on the netbook. The dri...

Transmission deleting directories full of downloaded files?
Hello all... this is my first post. I did search for prior posts about the problem I'm experiencing ...I was unable to find a solution, other than removing Transmission completely and re-installing it, which doesn't really explain the problem, or give confidence that it's a meaningful fix. I've been...
