Transmission
- Description: Transmission is a Peer to Peer (P2P) Client,which will let you download files from the BitTorrent Network. It support encryption and peer blocking. Some scripts have been added to enhance the capabilities like uncompressing files, moving complete downloads to a specific directory.BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data. BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files, and by some estimates it accounts for about 35% of all traffic on the entire Internet.[1]
The protocol works initially when a file provider makes his file (or group of files) available to the network. This is called a seed and allows others, named peers, to connect and download the file. Each peer who downloads a part of the data makes it available to other peers to download. After the file is successfully downloaded by a peer, many continue to make the data available, becoming additional seeds. This distributed nature of BitTorrent leads to a viral spreading of a file throughout peers. As more seeds get added, the likelihood of a successful connection increases exponentially. Relative to standard Internet hosting, this provides a significant reduction in the original distributor's hardware and bandwidth resource costs. It also provides redundancy against system problems and reduces dependence on the original distributor - Requirements: RAIDiator 4.1.6+

New Super-poussin features :- Torrent creation interface :
Torrent file created are in /c/webroot/transmission and also in /c/media/BitTorrent/sources for immediate seeding
the torrent creation interface is http://younasip/ctransmission (Button available in Frontview) - better transmission start/stop script
you have now 2 script you need to modify to start/stop transmission properly (torrents are stopped and restart in the last state after a reboot for example)
scripts are in /c/addons-config/Transmission/ :
transtart.sh
transtop.sh
simply replace the passwod in the line (password1 by default)
New transtart and transtop (people upgrading from version < 2.0.4 must do change by hand- Code: Select all

PS: if you do not change the passwords and they are not matching: transmission will stop as before and you will have a cheking for each torrent at restart - email on torrent completion :
an email is sent when a toorent is finished downloading (using exim if you setup your alert to custom indtead of internal in frontview)To be able to receive email you must :
1st) modif your alert settings in frontview and use custom-provider instead of internal and also use advanced parameters - Also:
if a /Media exist the transmission install will note create a /media to avoid confusion
if it's an upgrade it will also not try to create subdirectories in /media
initial start/stop are restored in case you do change in it
