No, I don't have any (other) Bittorent add-on running.

It was running fine before until today.

The web page setting is http://<nasip>:8181/transmission/web/

Thanks.

does frontview says Transmission is runing ?

can you also check you settings.json file ?

Yes, Transmission in Frontview is running (with green dot is on).

I am not keen on technical aspect so I don't know what to check... here's the setting:

I did try to access using WinXP with IE 8. Same result - no access to Transmission but Frontview is ok.

Thanks.

1) your rpc-usernmae is empty it should contain something (by default admin)
2) the port is 9091 not 8181
3) rpc-withelist should be set as * not 127.0.0.1
4) umask is normaly set to 0

I did what you've suggested. It worked.

Thank you super-poussin. :worship:

Wow, something weird just happened.
I've been having issues with my ReadyNAS NV+ losing connectivity and narrowed it down to the PHP and Transmission add-ons (I think)
So I uninstalled them both then reinstalled Transmission and checked the Settings.Json file - it looked very normal.
Then I added PHP and found I couldn't access the Transmission interface.
I rechecked the Settings.Json file and found the following default settings:

{
"alt-speed-down": 50,
"alt-speed-enabled": false,
"alt-speed-time-begin": 540,
"alt-speed-time-day": 127,

"speed-limit-up": 100,
"speed-limit-up-enabled": false,
"umask": 18,
"upload-slots-per-torrent": 14
}

I see that this issue can be resolved by changing the settings but I am curious as to why these have suddenly become the default settings?

Sigh!

I just made the changes that you suggested in the previous post and could get into Transmission fine.
I then changed the "peer-limit-per-torrent" setting to 240 as I wanted to download a single torrent as quick as possible.

All was fine for a couple of minutes and then... I lost all connectivity to my NV+
The lights were all on and it looked OK but there was absolutely no Ping response.
I now have to power cycle via the power button and try and resolve.

If you can think of anything that may be causing this problem, or better still a solution to it, I would be very keen to hear about it.

Many Thanks.

OK, so just an update.
I changed the "peer-limit-per-torrent" setting back to 60 and it worked fine for about 6 minutes or so and then the same problem again, no connectivity, no Ping response.

HELP!!!!

Snodlander, what version do you use? The current version is 1.75 for Duo and NV+.
