My installation is on Ubuntu 9.10
I am running transmission-daemon 2.12 installed from "http://ppa.launchpad.net/transmissionbt/ppa/ubuntu karmic main" (also have the transmission-gtk installed).
I can't seem to get new torrents to be picked up automatically while the transmission-daemon is running.
If there are torrent files in the watch folder when transmission-daemon is started, then they ARE picked up.
More detail:
While transmission-daemon is running (whether or not there are active torrents), I drop a torrent file in the watch directory - nothing happens (for hours).
If I stop & start or "restart" the daemon, or if I reboot, then the new torrent file is picked up, renamed to ...torrent.added, download begins, etc.
As a test, I stopped the daemon and started the gui (gtk). When the gui is running and I drop a torrent file in the watch directory, it IS picked up automatically (nearly instantaneously).
In other words, everything is working fine except dropping a new torrent in the watch folder WHILE the daemon is running.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas what I should look at to diagnose?
Thanks
