Hi Forum.
I have not been successful at all to get transmission to download/upload any torrents and I'm hoping someone will be able to help me.
I have searched the forum posts and have tried a few things but to no avail.
Here's what my current environment consists of:
- upgraded to latest version of Transmission (Transmission-2.10-1.tgz)
- running on linux on dns-323 box as nobody with linksys router wrt54g
- The following 2 directories are owned by nobody
/mnt/HD_a2/.transmission-daemon
/mnt/HD_a2/bittorrent/Downloads
- in settings.json configuration file, here are some of the relevant settings:
.....

.....
I'm using port#8181 and I'm able to bring up the web interface. When I upload a torrent file in transmission, I see the torrent added in transmission but nothing happens
(It says: Downloading from 0 of 0 peers - DL: 0.0 kiB/s UL: 0.0 KiB/s).
I tried the same bittorrent file using another client "utorrent" and that the torrent file gets downloaded right away.
I've stopped and restarted transmission multiple times and I've also shut down my DNS box but to no avail.
Can someone assist me? Thank you for any feedback that you may have.
- As suggested on the forum, I've also executed the following command "transmission-daemon -f" and here's the output:
