MysteryMan I recreated your error: Warning: copy(/c/webroot/transmission/archives/.torrent) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 21 Result : Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 28 Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in /c/webroot/transmission/transmission.php on line 29 The reason you are getting this error above is I typed a lower case m instead of a upper case M for the Mp3 directory. Your error is similar: I recommend checking your case of each folder and changing the file name to Directory or File: /c/Media/BitTorrent/Seeding/SharpEnd/TheSharpEnd_Episode1_1991_TVRip_mpeg4_.m4v Replacing any spaces, dashes and brackets with underscores like I did above. Heck I would change the file name to SharpEnd.m4v just to be ultra safe and then start adding in the rest to see if that fails. I also have been looking I believe the "M" Media should be a lowercase "m".

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-hi!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Did as you suggested by using dead simple names and, bingo, I now have a .torrent file!

Many, many thanks (and also to veehexx)

Let's hope the next stage (of uploading it) works OK!

Veehex is the one that gave me a better understanding of transmissions.

Hey super-pousin need an assistant I nominate vehexx :)

:D

im usually his guinea pig for DUO testing - i tend to find lots of bugs and issues.
that or im just very critical on how i like things to be plus i like to understand how things work :)

I have now got Transmission to create me a .torrent file. This is going to be uploaded to www.TheBox.bz and their instructions state that once I've done this I need to download a copy of a slightly modified .torrent file.

When I have that, can someone explain the process for starting of the seeding, please? Is it merely a case of using the Web interface and doing 'Open' on the file?

Cheers!

starting the seed only requires the files to be seeded to be correctly pointed to.

there are 2 ways todo this:
1) in your transmission default download folder, place the files to be seeded, as you created them for the initial torrent creation. (eg: if you pointed the create torrent to 'SharpEnd' folder, then place 'SharpEnd' folder in your default download folder). add the moddified torrent from thebox.bz to transmission and it should auto-verify since the files already exist.
2) using Transmission Remote dotnet (windows program, aka TR), add the moddified .torrent file with TR using File > add torrent with options. point it to the .torrent file, and the folder should point to your actual source location.... /Media/BitTorrent/Seeding should work (NB: you dont need the trailing /, since TR will auto-add it - no harm adding it yourself, just for the sake of asthetics, // isnt as clean as / :))

that should do it.

for testing, i add the torrent as a normal download and pause it. this will show the folder/file structure it's using, and you can then simply move the folders/files required to that location and then force a re-verify.

since i'm home alone this weekend (gf out at thorpe park with mates), then if i can get my head around nzbget config files i might create a how-to guide :) no promises though, but i only know about this from experience - it doesnt seem obvious to new guys how todo it on a local pc, let alone a special unfamiliar device like a NAS :)

Thanks, I really appreciate your help and all the info - I will give it a go and report back!

A step-by-step would be dead helpful!

Have a good weekend

Oops, sorry, one more question......

When I created the torrent, I specified the file (/c/media/BitTorrent/Seeding/SharpEnd/TheSharpEnd-Episode1-1991-TVRip-mpeg4.mp4) rather than the folder.

So, am not sure what I need to put into the media/BitTorrent folder. I can think of 3 options.....

• Just the file itself
• The folder SharpEnd, containing the file
• The folder Seeding, containing the SharpEnd folder and hence the file

Thanks!

i think just the file, since your linked directly to a file.

im having issues with my 'create torrent' tool, so im going to have to run some more tests as the test file im using is not working!

Yes, that seems to be right as it says it is now seeding and data is flowing out of the ReadyNAS!!!!!!

Next task will be to get "Transmission Remote Dotnet" set up as this sounds like a better way to interface with the ReadyNAS.

:D

guides in my sig, MM!

TR connects to the RPC port of transmission. ie: the web interface port 8181. same login details, just a different (and better) front end on it!
