Re: Torrents slow down/stop on delete

Just wondering what might be causing this problem. Is this normal? This time I said "pause selected file" from the Transfers Menu and the same thing happened. Actually, I got the spinning beach ball after the speed of all transfers went down to zero as mentioned above and I had to force qu...

upgrade download problems

When I attempt to download the 2.83 version It keeps giving me an error that says "Update Error! - An error occurred while downloading the update. Please try again later. " This has been going on for days now. Is anyone else experiencing this? I am using Transmission 2.82 on a 10.6.8 Mac P...

Torrents slow down/stop on delete

When I select Transfers->Remove Data File for an active transfer the other active transfers either slow down momentarily or stop altogether. When they actually completely stop sometimes they don't start up again. When they slow down they may never reach their former speeds. Any thoughts? Transmissio...

Re: iPad control of Transmission on a Mac?

Very cool. Thanks for the clear and concise answers.

One last thought..... Are there security concerns?

This has been very productive.

Thanks again,

Re: iPad control of Transmission on a Mac?

Great... That wasn't so hard. I must be thickheaded. Once Transmission is "in motion" and it has put the torrent in it's main Transmission window that shows the progress of downloads - does the "web interface" need to continue running on the iPad for the download to complete? If ...

Re: iPad control of Transmission on a Mac?

Hi, I can start the web interface on my Mac, and when I enter the Macintoshes IP address on the iPad via safari - as suggested in the remote browser part of the documentation - I get the same interface on the iPad. When I open another browser window on the iPad and I click on a magnet link I get the...

iPad control of Transmission on a Mac?

Is it possible to leave Transmission running on the Mac and then manage the downloads from my iPad? There are lots of uses for this and the one that I'd be interested in would be the ability to initiate a download to a drive on my Mac from a remote location by using my iPad. Sorry if this has been a...

Peformance question regarding File Locations

If my "Save Incomplete Files In Folder" is on an internal hard disk and the "Destination" folder is on a hard disk attached to the router across the house from there I have noticed the following behavior. When I have multiple files being downloading in Transmission and a multi GB...

Re: Impact of increasing max peers for a download

Those are great responses - thanks for the input! How do I find out how many streams my router can handle. Is that a trial and error thing or is there a spec I can investigate? The global and per torrent limits do seem to be effective at impacting download speeds most of the time. This weekend I not...

Impact of increasing max peers for a download

If I'm downloading a torrent that says there are 5000 peers what is the expected impact of raising my usual peer limit of 60 to 200? Since the effects of adjusting parameters in Transmission are not as straightforward as it might seem sometimes I'd like to pose this question.

Thanks,

Pete D.

Re: File Destination

I'm not explaining myself properly. 1. While a file is downloading , the incomplete file is set to be in a folder named "in progress". I do this in Transmission preferences. This way if a very long download is skunked by a computer crash or some router / network problem the trashed files a...
