Changing Cache-size-mb in OS X

[Gergeosson]

Hi!

Transmission constantly freezes when downloading at high speeds (5 MB+).

I've found threads that indicate that changing the value of cache-size-mb is the solution:
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11358
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10965

Now how do I change this value in OS X (where and how)? And is the parameter-name the same in OS X as in linux?
What value should I use?

Using Terminal get Transmission from "svn co svn://svn.transmissionbt.com/Transmission/trunk Transmission", edit session.c and build (⌘-B) in included .xcodeproj. Xcode should be on your install disc if you haven't installed it yet.


session.c

Line 62 DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE_MB = 4,

Change to whatever value you want to try.

Thanks! That worked!

Although... the developers should add an easier way to change the value. An option in preferences would be great!

Hi x190. I followed your step,changed DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE_MB to 500,then use Xcode build out the proj in a folder.In the folder I found Transmission.app.Is that mean the parameter of DEFAULT_CACHE_SIZE_MB has changed to 500 just use this app withput other files？
Because I use a Mac mini as a NAS,I build the app in my other Mac,just transfer the builded app to Mac mini ,that's it?

First, I think 500 MB is way too big and may cause other problems. The rest is ---yes.

thx x190,e...my Mac mini only use as a NAS for 2 Macs,and it has 6GB+ free memory every time.So I think 500MB cache may be OK for the situation.
