Headless Transmission for Mac OS X

Post by meir »

Hello I was looking around in order to figure out how to run and where to get Transmission BT without head for Mac os x.
Unfortunately for me I could not find much. Can anyone help me? I dont really want to make ( build/compile ) my own version of headless transmission unless it is the only choice.

Please Help...

P.S: Another option might be if I can run Transmission BT with a head + run several copies of it at the same time ( please tell me how, cause right now it doesn't want to run even 2 copies ).
Thank you.

the answer always given here is that no there isn't a headless mac version available to download, you'd have to build it yourself. maybe someone should start building & sharing them.

not sure about running multiple instances of the gui version - googling shows that there are ways to run more than one instance of the same app, but with transmission i have a feeling it may cause problems with conflicting access to transmission's various config/progress/data files (i don't see how you could stop each instance from looking at the same config and therefore attempting to download the same torrents).

I see, well thank you. I guess I will have to figure stuff out...
By the way do you know how to compile headless version, by any chance?

Thanks.
