Transmission does not download - no seeds

Post by interaktiv »

Hi all

Transmission 1.51 (i tried older versions, too) on Mac OS X 10.5.6 does not start download showing that there's no seeds. But at the same time utorrent for mac is starting shortly with a good speed. After some sleep time after start (with no download and no upload), which may continue for a couple of minuts (up to hour!), transmission starts download with a normal speed. In a few times, I tried to press "pause" and "resume" few times, this helped. But not allways.

At my local forum I already received suggestions to kill .plist file and to clear cache. Also I have already verified HD and repaired permissions.
I didnt try to clear transmission cache - i just do not know, where is it.

May my issue be solved? Thank you. I have searched the forum - didn't found anything relevant.

Hello,

I had the same problem most recently: No seeds/downloads with Transmission, but other client software was working as expected (Bittorent, FireTorrent, etc.)

I tried to find an answer here in the forum, just the opening post with no answer. Then I just tried to remember what I did as it worked before.

Well, I put the Transmission application into the application folder, then it stopped working.

Trying to use it when in another folder was successful.

No more trouble finding seeds/peers and downloading.

Maybe this helps some other people.

Enjoy life!
