What happened to Transmission after 6.4.2 update?

Hey guys,

have anyone experienced this that after the Firmware upgrade the Transmission app just fails to function properly?

It is responding, I can add/remove torrent files there, but the application is not starting them. In other words, the file progress stays Idle indefinately.

I saw that there's new version of transmission, so I updated it. Didn't help. Does transmission have any log file?

So my current setup:

6.4.2 OS

2.90 Transmission

any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hi all,

thanks for the replies, it turns out I fixed it with the simplest trick in the book --- re-install of the app. Turns out that re-config of the settings.json helped.

Now as for the update, here's what I've done:
- trashed my current Transmission app.
- I've checked here: transmission_2.90-1_armel.deb and downloaded the newest 2.9 version
- Installed it on the NAS. There's a catch, once you upload the app and the notification center tells you that transmission is installed, it isn't listed in the app dashboard.
- I uploaded the transmissionr6_3.00.8_all.deb
- In the Transmission site clicking Settings > About shows 2.9

Maybe you would wonder why you need two different install files for one app, I was wondering too.
Anyway, it works, and the app is updated. Everybody's happy.

Cheers
