bittorrent not working

Hi Folks,

I was browsing for information on this type of problem and found this thread. I hope it is OK to "resurrect" it after a couple of weeks as it mirrors my own experience quite closely. No point in re-inventing the wheel. :)

I have a ReadyNAS Duo with the latest firmware (4.1.6) and the latest Transmission (1.73). I have my ReadyNAS connected to my modem through a gigabit switch. The switch connects my home network both by ethernet cables and a 802.11n wireless router. Everything works fine with the exception of the Bittorrent client on the ReadyNAS. I prefer Transmission to the built-in BT client and it has worked well until recently when I notice that any new torrent I add starts normally then reports "No such File or Directory". I have taken the advice I found here in this thread and have installed Transmission on my MacBook and have started the same torrents using the same torrent file and it works fine.

Now I know the ReadyNAS can "see" my network because I can move files around as normal. I know my network can "see" the internet because I am typing this on my MacBook over my wireless network -> my switch -> modem.

Things that might be relevant:

1. I have been away recently but I think this may have happened shortly after the last update to the Transmission add-on 1.72 -> 1.73
2. I noticed this before I restarted the ReadyNAS to finish the firmware update to 4.1.6
3. I no longer seem to be getting the email alerts that the ReadyNAS was sending about every change in it's state e.g. for a restart.

Now, I can't think of any way to check why the ReadyNAS is not sending emails now - but it is almost 1am here. :) JUst for fun I went through the whole setup wizard t see if any settings had changed. I didn't see anything awry. If anyone else can help me out I'd be delighted to hear your thoughts.

Cheers, Grant (I'm off to bed now)
