Transmission Stops After Period of Time

Post by TheSExUS »

Running Transmission-GTK 3.00 on Ubuntu 20.04. I believe this same issue has occured with the -daemon version of 2.94 and 3.00 on the same system but I cannot tell for sure due to the nature of the issue.

Problem: After a period of time, sometimes days, sometimes hours, transmission will stop seeding, be inaccessable over the network (webgui or transmission-remote), and no longer announcing torrents or logging anything. It is sort of like it is frozen in time.

The GUI will list torrents as actively seeding, but with 0kb/s up and no data flowing. The message window doesn't show anything strange, just the last messages from hours previously when the problem started. The GUI is responsive, i can move through menus and change settings. If I shut down and restart transmission everything works fine... until a few hours or a day later it happens all over again.

Thank you in advance for any help that you may provide for this problem.

Reinstalled transmission and the problem went away. Problem solved but root cause never identified.
