New Transmission 2.84 add-on for ReadyNAS Duo/NV+ (sparc)

I wasn't sure if that was a reply to my post or not.

Anyway, I have just been trying to open the settings.json file and found that I could not open it or copy it the way I had been able to do in the past and even when I logged in as Admin (as opposed to my user account with Admin status), I could not open it without adjusting permissions - so I feel that something is quite wrong.

The umask value was 10 but I have changed it to 0 as you suggest and I'll wait and see what happens.

My Duo v.1 (sparc) runs Raidiator 4.1.12 and Transmission 2.82 (fresh installation, previously deleted S-P's 2.04 version that stopped work under 4.1.12).
Works just fine but there's one problem: I couldn't stop Transmission via Duo's web-interface in order to edit settings.json file.
Short after I've unchecked it's mark and pressed Save button (green light turns off) Transmission starts itself again, it's check-box is unchecked but green light stays on.
Somehow after some manipulation I've managed to change several parameters in settings.json but now I just can't set up Transmission Remote access 'cause there's no possibility to set rpc-whitelist parameter without stopping the daemon.
Maybe there's a way to manually stop Transmission?

Update: problem solved using different browser

I'm having some issues with a specific tracker and the readynas. I have no problems when trying to download with transmission for mac.
I get no seeders but no errors either. I alson notice that some downloads are slower to start now compared to before.
How can I find out what's wrong?

I have experienced exactly the same problem going back over the last two years. Whenever it happens, I either find the same torrent on a different site or use a Mac BitTorrent client.

I think I may have once reconnected to my ISP thus acquiring a new IP address and I think that also canceled the problem on that occasion but it didn't work consistently so I didn't continue with it. Anyway, I got the sense that my IP address may have been blacklisted by the tracker.

Okay, I'm happy(?) to hear that I'm not the only one with this issue.
But I have not had this problem before I upgraded to 2.82. Not sure if I can downgrade and se if it has any effect.
I really like the transmission add-on. Together with the remote-gui it is absolutely awesome.
If anyone has any ideas I can try I'm happy to listen...

I tried that and so far (two Torrents) it seems to be OK. Thanks.

Okay,
I decided to downgrade to 2.42 since I know it has been working okay before. And now I have no problems.
I liked the 2.82 better since it was smoother to work with. Probably because it does not consume all my memory but 2.42 obviously has something right when it comes to downloading.

Can someone tell me where to download 2.82? Transmission page points me back to 2.42 for sparc, ReadyNAS DUO

The first post in this thread.

Hello all, I have stumbled on this thread today. I, like others here, have also been running v2.42 from Super-Fish. I opted to remove v2.42 cleanly prior to installing v2.82. Install was without incident, however it doesn't seem to be taking my settings.json config that I basically copied over from my v2.42 config.

Now I can't get transmission to start. Turned on logging switch as mentioned in a prior post. The daemon does start with the logging switch and I noticed that it picks up the settings.json from a different directory?
14:33:51.464] Saved "/root/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json" (variant.c:1217)

instead of /c/addons-config/Transmission/settings.json

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Looks like the transmission-daemon with --logging switch uses a settings.json file in /root/.config/transmission-daemon. After a reboot of my nas, looks like v2.82 is working well.
