Unable to add new torrents though WebUI

[antiartist]

Running Transmission-Daemon on headless server (Ubuntu 10.04)

using any torrent URL to add the torrent through the WebUI, the torrent does not show up and as far as I can tell, nothing is downloading.

I have tried a dozen different torrents from two public torrent sites and am confident that they are all active and functional (they download ok through the uTorrent client I have on my laptop.)

Have restarted the transmission-daemon service several times.

Looking thru the syslog, the failed attempts to add a torrent don't seem to generate an entry. I did notice that whenever I start the transmission-daemon service, an entry shows up in the syslog:

Code: Select all

tranmission-daemon requiring authentication

but since I am able to log into the webUI without issue, I'm assuming this entry is not related to my issue.

I'm not sure what else to put here that might be relevant...

Any help would be appreciated!

try adding the following torrent URL, which i can confirm works via the WebUI in transmission-daemon 2.33

Code: Select all

http://www.osst.co.uk/Download/DamnSmallLinux/current/dsl-4.4.10.iso.torrent

if nothing shows up after adding, try a manual "Refresh" of the browser page. there is a recent javascript bug you may be seeing if you're running an older version of the daemon.

I tried manually adding the torrent link provided (http://www.osst.co.uk/Download/DamnSmal ... so.torrent) and nothing happened. Refreshing the page itself also did not make any change. No torrents show as downloading...or under "All" tab, for that matter.

I am running Transmission-Daemon 1.93, which is the most current version for Ubuntu Lucid (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywo ... ection=all)

I am running Java 6 (1.6.0_26-b03) and this attempts to be the most current version, as reported by the update manager within Java.

[gunzip]

well 1.93 is a pretty dated version at this point but nevertheless it should still work. i assume you have ssh access to your server? if so go in and run

Code: Select all

wget http://www.osst.co.uk/Download/DamnSmallLinux/current/dsl-4.4.10.iso.torrent

then go back to the WebUI and add the torrent file (dsl-4.4.10.iso.torrent) as opposed to the torrent URL and see if it registers.

also try some other browsers .. Firefox and Google Chrome work well but there are some older and more obscure browsers that have difficulty displaying properly.
