transmission losts torrents after shutdown

Post by carharot »

when I close transmission and open it again so I don't see any torrent that I added before.

That one forget any list of torrent after restarting.

Transmission installed from scratch.
For example, uTorrent doesn't lost/forget any torrents if I restarting it.

OS X 10.2
transmission 2.76 (13785)

any manipulations with all/filters etc buttons hasn't any positive effects.

I had the same problem, running transmission on freebsd 9.0 and could not find any settings for this in transmission but solved it this way:

1. i installed "rename" package
2. edited the /etc/rc.d/transmission script for startup and added:

echo -n "Reloading old torrents... "
/usr/local/bin/rename -s/.added//s -R <path to your>/torrents/*.added
echo "Done
"

between #!/bin/sh and . /etc/rc.subr

I`ve noticed that transmission automatically renames .torrent files into .torrent.added files but when it searches for new torrents to add from the watch-dir it only searches for .torrent files so the idea was to rename all old torrents.added back to their original name before each restart of the daemon.
This also can be done with a for loop with mv and sed -s but it`s easier with rename .

Anyway, if there is a setting in transmission not involving recompile please let me know.
I personally use transmission on a separate "storage" server for torrents downloaded to be online 24/7, giving me extra ratio than using a windows client so loading after restart every torrent already downloaded and finished is necessary.
