[SOLVED] can't restart or verify local data (newbie)

Post by quietone »

I am unable to continue a torrent after completing a clean install of ubuntu 9.10 (with Transmission 1.76), I was previously using ubuntu 9.04 with Transmission 1.5 something. I have about 42% of a very large torrent I am keen for it to continue. And I am new to torrents, this is my second one.

I started Transmission 1.76, added the torrent and corrected the download location (I changed my partitions) and now everything is 0%. I changed the location of the data to the backup on an external drive, select verify and nothing again. But this time, the external drive didn't even start spinning, so maybe something else is not right.

Appreciate the help.

I just remembered the config files. I found and restored .config/transmission and all is well. Except that I have 133 MB corrupt. Oh well.
