My version of the script had one to many quotes (at the end) on line REMOTE=...

I'm hoping this is the right forum for this No, wrong forum, you should have used "General Support" (Requests are for requesting changes to the functionality of the program -- in fact the description is there, below the forum name). to make sure that it looks right The first line may caus...

The funny thing is that the "torrentname.torrent.added" exists in the torrent path, but no "torrentname.torrent" Not funny. It means you configured your daemon with the watch directory on top of its own (private) torrent files; that's a know show stopper, it prevents the daemon ...

those particular files aren't downloaded They triggered the current "suspicious file" protection. As per ticket #5517 that protection will change on the next release. how to change the name of those files so that they can be downloaded? Use a client that can rename files. Not tested, I'm ...

If transmission is running on router Then you don't need port forwarding (as long as the daemon binds to all interfaces, or at least to the WAN interface). Port forwarding in Transmission is very strict, the router has to reply with the correct response, otherwise Transmission will not try to open ...

@rb07 Any idea when it'll have ? No. All the queue functionality, which includes "Resume Now", is intended for the GUI clients. Since transmission-remote is mainly a tool for use in scripts, I don't think the functionality will be added. But you can always ask for it in a request; a good ...

Yes, more than one could be the issue. It would be a case of "last one wins", last to save settings, last to record torrent status.

But if that is/was the case, it would show with ps, or pidof... and the log, the 2nd, and higher instance, would complain about the port(s) being in use.

From what you said, there was a daemon at the default port, but does a second exit command returns an error? It would be interesting if the "keeps restarting" bit is true... have you checked the PID? (just run "pidof transmission-da") The log messages would be interesting (not to...

No. The option applies only for the general case, either use authentication, or not use it.

First: Is it really running? From your description there could be several different programs or scripts not working correctly... better do a "pgrep -l transmission-daemon" to see if it is really running (or look at the daemon's log, it will tell you when it is shutting down). Second: Use T...

The transmission-remote program has no option to do this.

Wild guess: You added the "\\WILAPTOP\Users\BillMan\Downloads" path in Preferences : Download to: of the Web client. That path is invalid in Linux. Its only a valid path on Windows (and even there, it may or not work, depending on configuration). Before you ask: no there is no equivalent o...

it puts the slash the wrong way, causing it to give a read only error Not true. First you're missing one of the most important details: you are using Windows, probably using Transmission-Qt. Second: the path as shown is valid (Windows allows both forward- and backward slashes as path separator), an...

Why are you building Transmission instead of just installing it with your OS package manager? If you really want to built it, why not use the latest version? The latest of everything, libevent is at 2.0.21 for instance. The problem with configure can be solved by looking at the options for it: './co...

It depends on the tracker. Example instructions (public tracker): http://openbittorrent.com/ With private trackers its different, you create the .torrent using their "tracker's announce url", then go to their upload page, fill the form which among other thing uploads your .torrent file, th...
