Torrents pause immediately after being added

Post by Stokestack »

I'm finding that after adding torrents with a magnet link and making sure that "start when added" is enabled, the torrent is nevertheless paused as soon as it's added. It seems to download metadata and then stop. I have to "restart" every torrent manually.

I don't have any limits set up, either. Anybody else seeing this behavior?

Yes, I have the same problem using nightly version 3.00+ (0e321c2d21). After a torrent is added and the magnet info is obtained then it reverts to paused state.

Mac or PC? Transmission version?

Do you have sufficient connections available for the torrent? (Preferences > Peers > Connections)

My magnets get processed then the torrent starts downloading with no problem. This on Transmission 4.0.1 and Transmission nightly.

fwiw,
