Swtiching off & on superseeding

Post by twinkerzzz »

Hi
You may need to correct me but - i am under impression Trans automatically superseeds when it detects 1 or low leech numbers. This was introduced at about v1.0.
I'm finding the superseeding ability drags on to much and would like the ability to judge for myself suitable use by being able to switch it on & off .
Could you do this for the version 1.5 so that i can keep it with my tiger OS ??

Thanks

I s currently in development, and probably wil be in 1.0 (no guarantees).
As currently super-seeding is automatically initiated if the conditions are right, but there will likely be a global preference to turn it off completely."

For those of you who like living dangerously, there's now a patch enabling superseeding at the corresponding ticket. As i can't test it myself (I don't create torrents often), if people running svn could apply the patch and report any problem they get with this on the ticket, I'll be glad to make tweaks to make it work correctly !
To apply :
First download the patch from the ticket
CODE: SELECT ALL
cd your-transmission-source
patch -p0 < superseeding.diff
Open Xcode and enable superseeding by changing
CODE: SELECT ALL
h->useSuperseeding = 0
to
CODE: SELECT ALL
h->useSuperseeding = 1
at transmission.c:128.
Then build, and bug me if problem arise !"

I'm not able to build patches n stuff but i took these comments to indicate that supperseeding does occur in Transmission.
