Transmission

Hi all, I'm new to transmission so forgive me if I'm asking a silly question. I've spent about 3 hours now searching google, this forum and the documentation for an answer to my problem but so far no luck. Maybe someone here can help...

I've installed Transmission-daemon

It's running, as per steps here http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtop ... ss.#p39455

However, when I run a command to download a torrent such as this: I get an error in the web interface window which says "Tracker request failed" and then refreshes to say "No such file or directory"

If I download the same torrent from my Windows PC using uTorrent it works fine so I guess that points the finger at my config somewhere. Any clues where to look?


I've checked that my port is open using http://www.canyouseeme.org, I've got port forwarding set to send the port traffic to my Ubuntu box and I have the same port configured in the settings.json file. I can also download the torrent file using wget.

I'm stumped!!

I found the problem, it was a permissions issue on the "download-dir" supplied in the settings.json file.

I had to chmod 777 <filepath> to get the torrents to work, once I did that I had success.

Bit of an odd error to have gotten for disk permissions but maybe it's fixed in a later version. I'm on version 1.51
