my torrent server recently crashed. I backed up all the torrents but not the operating system settings. I am running Fedora 27 and transmission v 2.92. I use the midori web browser
Transmission is all set up. I can verify my old torrents and seed. In some cases however, I create new torrents and upload them to a website:
- Use the relevant web page to enter and save torrent details
- When the torrent is saved I need to upload
- Previously I would click DOWNLOAD on the relevant web page and I would be presented with an option to save, open, cancel. I would press open and this uploads the torrent in question to the tracker via transmission-gtk
- Now, when I press open nothing happens. I see a message at the bottom of the page but it is so small I can't read it.
Common sense tells me that midori needs to know which bit torrent client to use. I can't remember doing this in the past although I must have. A search around the net suggested adding the following line to /usr/share/applications/midori.desktop:
I added this and restarted the browser but no joy. So transmission-gtk is working fine but I can't upload files via the web broswer. Any suggestions?MimeType=application/x-bittorrent;application/transmission-gtk;
