Move Data File to + Where is Set Location?

Post by metaclam »

Transmission frequently crashes while quitting or when moving 10+ largish torrents to a new location (on the same volume ... gave up even trying to move large files to another volume).

On OS 10.6 & Trasmission 1.75b2, it crashed while moving 10 files.

When I reopened, it had moved the files but still thinks it is in the old location. It says to use "Set Location" but I can't find that anywhere, not in the context menu, not in the action "gear" menu, not in customize toolbar, not on the inspector, and not in the main app menus. Huh? This shouldn't be such a puzzle!

If what is meant is "Move Data File to" --- then it crashes Transmission. (As it is 0 bytes in size because it's already been moved.)

Here's part of the crash log

This has been a key frustration for me, too. I use a laptop with an external, and like to move the heavier seeds to my external. It's been enough for me to look for another client, but it seems Transmission is still the best. Maybe an AppleScript is in order.

I think that feature had some bugs squished for the upcoming 1.80 release. "Set Location" is the default message returned by libtransmission that isn't specialized to the Mac UI. The "Move Data" feature provides the functionality of both in the Mac UI. The wording has been fixed, too. I've had no problems moving no-data torrents but I'm running the latest trunk all the time.

I'm still on an OLD version of Transmission (1.51, as shipped with Fedora 10 - will update to latest Fedora as soon as I get a chance) and there is no "Set location" option. So if anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation:

* Close Transmission
* Move the partially downloaded files to your new location
* Find a file called {torrent_name}.{GUID}.resume - where {torrent_name} is the filename of the torrent and {GUID} is a random string
* On Fedora the .resume files are in ~/.config/transmission/resume/
* Edit this file and about 100 chars in you'll see "destination" followed by some obvious path data - this is where Transmission will look for the downloaded files to date on resume
* Change this to your new path (where you moved the partially downloaded files to)
* Save
* Start Transmission again

What should happen is Transmission reads the updated .resume file for the moved torrent and resumes download to that new location. It will need to verify the data first, which will take a few minutes, depending on the size of the download so far.
