Daemon Seeding

Post by SterhTG »

Hello All!
I have installed transmission daemon on Debian Lenny(5.04). I have Installed transmission 1.93. I have finished several torrents on my Windows PC, and moved all files to Linux PC. Now I cant add this files to trasnssmission just for seeding. I am entering into directory with torrent file and executing transmissioncli -w /path/to/file my.torrent and transmission starts to verify hash(Verifying local files), then it stops on 92% and start to download. On different torrent it stops on 10 % and start downloading. But all files are finished. How I can check where error is? Or maybe What I am doing wrong ?

First thing you want to do is verify that the files on your debian are the same as when they left your windows.

If they are identical (using crc32, md4, md5 hashes or whatever), check the file permissions and make sure everything is readable by the user running transmission.

Assuming obvious stuff like there's only one file per torrent, or if there's more than one you copied them all across in the correct hierarchy etc etc.

Daemon will seed whatever it has left active. What you need is a startup script.

I'm guess someone will have written one for your debian.
