Transmission event queue is broken on my NAS

Post by mrjamest »

So I've been trying to get to the bottom of my issue with https trackers on my NAS.
I'm always getting a Response code 0 (No response) from the tracker.

Today, I finally figured out what was causing the issue by setting up my own tracker for testing purposes. I've discovered that transmission doesn't send any requests until the event queue is "filled up." It's a bit hard to explain so I'll outline the steps to reproduce the bug on my DS216+II Synology NAS:
  1. Start with a freshly booted up instance of transmission
  2. Add any torrent with an https tracker -> the torrent won't start downloading and eventually the `Response code 0 (No response)` error will show up
  3. Go to torrent details -> Trackers and remove the https tracker
  4. I can fix the issue with two different solutions:
    - Either put a new tracker url in but don't put /announce at the end but something else
    - Or put the url with /announce in and remove it again and repeat this 4-5 times
  5. The queue will now release all the requests at once and it will start downloading
    (somehow though, when it tries to announce again, it's broken)

I have absolutely no idea why this issue is only isolated to my NAS, maybe because of an old kernel?
My setup is currently:
  • Docker 20.10.3 - linuxserver/transmission package (latest)
  • DSM7
  • Synology linux kernel version 3.10.108
If you have any ideas, I'd be grateful.
