Transmission

Thanks. That worked. But ... I started transmission-gtk and it started fine. I did a Help About and saw 2.75. When I clicked on Preferences, it core dumped. This is a *new* problem for me, so I'm not sure if or how to proceed. Do you want to see the core dump? I can put it in my dropbox. I don't see...

I'm compiling Transmission on kubuntu precise Linux for the first time and finding a few things in the documentation that probably need updating. 1) Instructions at https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Building#Buildingfromatarball include installing libminiupnpc5 which has been removed and included...

Thanks. I went there and the first thing it says is try the nightly build. It only points to the mac version, but I found https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/trunk-linux/lastBuild/ Aside from downloading it, I don't know how to install it. Someone showed me how to do this a few years ago, but I don...

When it crashes, apport launches, but I don't see much. It says it's sending a crash report somewhere. Is there a crash report howto? Do I have to compile with debugging symbols, etc.? As of now, I just have whatever the ppa gives me.
Thanks.

I used Transmission-qt for a few hours and found that although it has the same version number as the gtk version, it's missing a lot of features. I went back to the gtk version! I hope that the gtk version can be fixed.

Thanks. Deleted that config (after backing up) and did a purge and install. Still crashes on Speed panel. Backed up the newly created one, deleted it, purged transmission-gtk and common, and installed transmission-qt instead. Got 2.74 as with the gtk version. Now, Speed works again. Restored the old...

Maybe some of the weirdness has to do with the fact that I'm using transmission-gtk (running under KDE) instead of transmission-qt. I'm not sure how it is right now, but, in the past, transmission-gtk was several releases ahead of the qt version and always seemed to work fine - for several years. Joe

Since lots of people viewed my last post about this and no one replied, I assume that this problem may be local to my system. So let's try this approach. I tried to purge Transmission, but it didn't seem to work. When I reinstalled it, it still had all my torrents running and my ratios, so the purge...

Just upgraded to 2.72 (when I noticed that I hadn't installed the ppa). It still crashes when I select Preferences->Speed.

Upgrading to 2.74 did not correct the problem.

I'm running transmission-gtk 2.74 on kubuntu Precise (12.04). I have been using Transmission for quite a few years and these issues are new in the last few releases (2.51 ...). 1) When I select Edit->Preferences->Speed, it crashes. 2) When I select Trackers->Edit on a torrent, the editor comes up, b...

I can see what's going on when the line above says asking for peer counts in xx minutes, but sometimes it looks like it got a list of peers a few minutes ago and is just waiting for peer counts. It feels like once it gets a list of peers it should just ask for peer counts without further waiting.

I'm using Transmission 2.51 on Linux. Occasionally, I see this message for a tracker on the tracker tab. What I want to know is what's the hold up and are there any user parameters that affect this? I often run 6 - 10 torrents at a time, but this message shows up even when almost all of them appear ...

It would be cool to have a show filter in the torrent status drop down for "Active Since" where it could be set to Active since the last time I checked "Active Since", the last time transmission was started, today, or X number of hours. It wouldn't have to do all of those. The po...

Thanks. I was hoping for something more reliable, but apparently I have to build my own server for that. The problems with using a router is that this is a notebook and the router it sees will change with its physical location. Also, my code would probably break every time the router firmware gets u...

Over the years, I've had a lot of problems with closed ports. I've gotten pretty good at fixing these (with help from this forum) once I figure out/notice that the port's closed. To that end, I want to write a piece of code (preferably in bash) that will test a port for open/closed. I'll use it to p...
