Magnet Torrents Disappear

Post by eternalsword »

Currently running transmission-daemon 2.84 (14307).

Anyone know of some setting that removes magnet torrents that sit paused too long (only a few minutes) prior to metadata fetch? I'd like that to not happen. I have a download queue of two and if I add a bunch of magnet torrents, I'd be lucky if third and on don't vanish on me.

I had opened https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5981 but apparently it's not a bug???

No, it is set to all. "filter-mode": "show-all".

I'm using https://github.com/fagga/transmission-remote-cli to manage the daemon if that makes a difference.

I believe they vanish before the torrent gets created. I'll verify next time I run into this.

There are an assortment of problems in torrent-magnet.c that might be causing other problems with some magnets and stalling. Other forum and trac posts related to magnet stalling might be related to these problems, but not when we see all magnets stalling at once.
