Transmission verrifies all torrents on start. Permissions issue with .torrent files?
Posted: Fri May 20, 2022 7:06 pm
I recently had to migrate Transmission and all of my thousands of torrents to a new Computer (running Linux Mint 20).
I didn't end up importing my .resume files and resume folder because it was having problems and instead let the new client run and verify every .torrent and create new .resume files.
Every time I start it has to check and verify every single torrent. Here's the thing though, this is not the case with newly added .torrent files.
I used
on all of the torrents imported from the old computer. The permissions on new files added appear to be the same so I'm confused as to what's triggering the old files to need constant re-verification. I've also tried giving all files 777 permissions and that also didn't solve it.
I should add as well that if I remove one of these older torrents from Transmission via Transmission Remote it shows back up when I reboot which contributes to my theory that it's somehow a permissions issue.

Code: Select all
sudo chown -R debian-transmission:debian-transmission /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon/torrents
