File relocation and torrent content selection

[skr3ch]

Hi all, I'm writing to get support from someone more expert than me.
I have Transmission installed on a mini computer, and I handle it by Clutch WebUI.
But it doesn't allow some "advanced actions":
- I add a torrent, but when downloaded (or eventually before) I can't relocate it, to continue sharing it and also organize on my disc;
- With uTorrent I was able to download only a part of a torrent content.

Are these operations possible by plugins or other?

Thanks

It seems to me that you're using some old-ish version of Transmission. Latest one is 2.84 and it has "Set Location..." context menu item (mentioned by x190) and checkboxes next to filenames in torrent inspector panel. Can't say when those features were added though.

How can I check the version and eventually update it?

[mike.dld]

In web UI, open settings menu (bottom-left corner) and select "About".

I confirm that I have an older version: 2.52 (13304)

Well, then you can have your cake and eat it too! Keep your existing installation and use Shift as your new UI. It will do what you need ... and then some!

I installed Shift, but I don't found that functionalities..

I'm sorry if my answer was misleading. I was referring to advanced content selection. If you want to move the files on the server you have to upgrade transmission to 2.80+ (See https://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser ... c-spec.txt at the end.) AND wait for me to implement it in Shift.

But ... after switching to Shift, would you return to Clutch? If so, why?

I tried to upgrading by:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade transmission

then I also tried:

Code: Select all

apt-get install transmission

but the version is still the initial.
What's wrong?

Sorry but I don't understood your last questions.

[killemov]

But the version is still the initial. What's wrong?

Nothing really. That is just the latest supported version.

Will you keep using the Shift interface? If not, why?

[skr3ch]

Sorry, now I also understand the goal of the previous.
Shift is very interesting. Its power is to have more functionalities. But I used is for short time.
I don't like some details. For example I don't undertand how is useful the circle on the left, full or empty.
Also I don't like some details.
If u want I'll say more, I can give u more (personal) suggestions.

For my "old" version? Nothing to do?

Sure, go ahead ...

For example it seems impossible (and maybe so) to sort downloads by any criteria.
It is a bit slow in reloading when u change "status" in dropdown menu.
Another: why only first downlad hasn't an ordinal number?

If you can, also reply especially to "empty or full circles".
If I find other I'll say.

I installed by that script, but I still have the older version....

Read https://github.com/killemov/Shift and you'll find you can filter and order the data like no other.

It is a bit slow in reloading when u change "status" in dropdown menu.

This is a valid point, well in part anyway. The experienced slowishness is in the loading of previously invisible torrent data AND not updating the ui while the data is being loaded.

Another: why only first downlad hasn't an ordinal number?

This is because 0 is falsy. The tests for displaying values may need improvement. They may also slow things down.

If you can, also reply especially to "empty or full circles".

They mostly indicate (in/)active elements. They also double as menu activators. This allowed me to NOT use right clicks at all. Try left clicking on some.

If I find other I'll say.

Great. Keep 'em coming.
