Transmission

I want to automate startup of my Mac. Snitch is putting up alerts (usually a good thing) of outgoing Transmission connections when it's launched which is interfering with my macros (the alerts aren't addressable via macro so can't dismiss them intelligently).

A couple are openDNS, but one is to ...

I created a PM to a Transmission admin. It's sitting in my Out Box. It's not clear that it sent or needs to be sent. Since it's not in the "Sent Messages" folder I presume it's not sent.

How to I launch this message on its way?

Thanks

Thanks arg.barg. Good to know that.

I may upgrade later, but it will be only if I have to. If what I have (2.22) works, why upgrade?

And if I am tempted at some point I'll surely pour over these forums and see what the scuttlebutt is re. others' experience with the new version before "doing the ...

Have been fighting with Transmission 2.32 for several days trying to figure out why DL speeds are 10 percent of what they were in the recent past.

I did the "open port" dance, in fact, opening the entire range of 50000-65000 for torrents. No joy.

Followed the excellent suggestions at https://trac ...

Free = crap DL speed?

$25 = awesome speed?

Hmm...

I installed previous version of Transmission (v. 2.22) to replace the current version (v. 2.32).

Now downloads happen at previous fast speeds.

Nothing like installing a "new" downgraded "update" (a.k.a 2.32).

Thank GOD for Apple's Time Machine simple backup scheme!

OK, I just downloaded xTorrent and installed it. I opened one of the same torrents that I've been trying for a few days to get downloaded with Transmission.

Transmission says: 1 day (give or take a few hours)

xTorrent says: 28 minutes.

A BUG or what?

I'll be opening a bug report...

I had already addressed all those points except for the ubuntu test torrent. I'm doing that just now and the speed is averaging 3 Kbytes/sec (according to the information in the Transmission main window for that torrent).

I ran the test and it gives joy:

In the ATT U-Verse router (2-Wire model 3800HGV-B) I have some security items enabled (x=checked, o=not checked).

Might any of these mistakenly interpret torrent activity as a security risk and slow down my DLs?

Thanks,

OK, I discovered that the port in the router's firewall must also be opened in order for the port in the torrent app to work.

But now that I've got a working port, my DLs are still way slower than they used to be.

Used to be I could DL a torrent with 150,000 seeds in a matter of minutes. Now it ...

Many users keep the Inspector pane open full-time to monitor all kind of information while downloading & uploading. It's just the way we like to use Transmission.

I know the developers don't like us to do this, but that's the way it is.

Whenever I open the Preferences window (often) or the About ...

Noticed my DLs are very slow, even those with 150,000 seeds (which used to go quickly). So I try another port: closed. And another: closed. And... I've tried probably 50 port numbers all over the map. Nada.

I've tried many different torrents, all the same result: slow (almost no DL at all). It's ...

Thanks.

The Web Seeds list is empty. (But so are all the other download details: I've found no seeds for this file yet... still waiting)

So the Web Seeds is a function of the uploader? I have no control over these?

Thanks again,
Sparky

In the Peers pane for one of my downloads, the pane is split into 2 parts: the usual "IP address; %; UL; DL" columns. Above that section is a short section titled Web Seeds.

None of my other downloads has this Web Seeds section.

What is Web Seeds? How do I use it? Why does only this one download ...
