configuration

[vph]

Hi,
I'm using transmission daemon and Transmission remote GUI for long time and I'm very happy with it.
Recently I wanted to use a separate proxy server for tracker access and a straight connection for downloading. I did it with uTorrent and it worked fine but couldn't make it with transmission in Ubuntu.
Does anybody know if it is possible and if yes how to configure it?

I'd appreciate any info or comments.
Regards,

quoted from documentation "man transmission-daemon"

ENVIRONMENT
http_proxy - libcurl uses this environment variable when performing tracker announces.

so in terminal you would export this prior to starting the daemon

Code: Select all

$ export http_proxy="http://yourproxy.domain.com:proxyport/"
$ transmission-daemon

if you have private proxy it would be

Code: Select all

$ export http_proxy="http://username:password@yourproxy.domain.com:proxyport/"
$ transmission-daemon

Thanks a lot.
