New Transmission add-on thread

[super-poussin]

The previous thread was very long

time to open a new one and prepare the 2.0

[mdgm]

Yeah the discussion is quite long. I may need to give this add-on a try sometime. Perhaps when I finally get around to purchasing an x86 ReadyNas (I know I could run it on a Sparc ReadyNas, but I don't want to). Keep up the good work.

S-P, on 1.93, I am getting the old thing again where it loads all the previously done torrents again from the watch folder. I have to go delete the old .torrent's, or it goes nuts downloading everything on restart.

[super-poussin]

I will take a look and fill a bug if needed

you can also set "trash-original-torrent-files" to true so transmission will delete .torrent after download

Hey quick question. I got transmission to work and i have downloaded a couple of torrents. Question is: how do i change the settings to allow transmission to connect to as many peers/seeders as possible? i had a file with over 300 seeders yet it would only connect to 25.

[super-poussin]

I will produce a 2.0b01 but need tester cause transmission devs change a lot of things in 2.0

[super-poussin]

there's a new option to launch a scrip after download completion

Code: Select all

"script-torrent-done-enabled": false,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "",



Sparc
X86


I will work on a script to send email when a torrent is finished

Super -

running into some problems with x86 1.93 after full backup, factory default upgrade to 4.2.11 with EXT4, full restore

1) completed torrents are no longer moved out of incomplete folder into download directory
2) all stats zeroed out, even though full restore of all addons-config/Transmission files
3) some torrents with odd characters not verifying or downloading

any advice?

many thanks for your excellent work!

can you provide a filename example ?

did you also check rights on the file ?

Ave Super-poussin,
I'm having a little problem with Transmission 1.93.
All the latest files I copy are very fragmented (122227 extents for +2 GB file)
If I localy cp the file a.xyz to B.xyz I get 802 extents. Mucho better.
The original file a.xyz copies at 10-15 MB/s from NVX
The new B.xyz copies at 80 MB/s (yeah my NVX rocks)
Is there some option for Transmission to pre-allocate file space in order to avoid such results?

[super-poussin]

preallocation
Number
1
0 = Off, 1 = Fast, 2 = Full (slower but reduces disk fragmentation)

In settings.json.

Oooops i didn't read all the way the parameters doc...
Does it make sense to you that the Nas spread that +2GB file all over?
Anyway, thank you (for everything).

good news! It turns out permission settings were the cause of all the problems. I fixed permissions and now everything is working properly. Even stats are back. Hooray!

getting an invalid checksum on the x86 version [2.0b1]...

[mdgm]

NV+ is on the Sparc platform so use the Sparc add-on. x86 add-ons do not work on the NV+.
