Transmission

Hmm, it appears to me from `--help` output that `--enable-shared` and `--enable-static` options only affect libraries and not executables. I'm not sure if static executables build is possible out of the box. Maybe we could try solving your issues with dynamically-linked daemon? There is always a way...

Nothing happens all of a sudden, there is always a reason. And if you didn't change anything related to Transmission setup, it only means that something else on your system has changed. This could include filesystem, or mount options, or who knows what else. Out of curiosity, lets try setting umask ...

If should be 775, that's correct, and it looks like a defect. But before we settle on this (and create a ticket at https://trac.transmissionbt.com/), are you using the latest version which is 2.82 at the moment? And if not, would you mind trying it out first? EDIT: I just tried it myself, and settin...

Are you sure files are created with 755 permissions? I could believe in directories having this mode, but files should have at most 666 (i.e. no executable bit). Maybe the filesystem of ours is the cause here? Like, if it's smbfs/cifs/fat/ntfs and you mount it with specific user_mode/dir_mode/fmask/...

Output of "ldd /path/to/your/compiled/executable" command would help in seeing which libraries it still depends on.

I guess using port 81 for RPC may be the reason. Ports below 1024 are considered privileged on most *NIX systems, and normal users are not allowed to bind on those. This is why default RPC port is set to 9091 (which is >= 1024). Try choosing another port and let us know if that helps. P.S. Don't let...
