New Transmission add-on thread

Hi, I got a problem with Transmission stops running after a few minutes. Any ideas? I am running Transmission v2.33 (sparc) on RAIDiator 4.1.7 I have also tried to run Transmission 2.32 beta 2, but same problem there.

Exactly the same problem I have (post a few back)...though now I can;t even connect to the interface.

This is just not working for me :(

Du you know if the publisher of Transmission has commented on the mather?

Looks like Transmission is using all the memory, and therefor shuts down. Any ide how to fix this without adding more ram? I am curently running with 256 mb ram.

it's huge memory leak. I've Tested on 2.31, 2.33 with my Duo with 256Mb RAM, RAIDar 4.1.7.
confirmation that this is a memory leak - information in the output of utilities top and logs in /var/log/syslog

Aug 21 22:25:32 duo kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 10319 (transmission-da). Aug 21 22:25:32 duo kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 10320 (transmission-da). Aug 21 22:25:32 duo kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 10321 (transmission-da). Aug 21 22:25:32 duo kernel: Out of memory: Killed process 10322 (transmission-da).

if transmission-daemon only started (or verifying files) - all is ok, memory consumption 5-8Mb.
when add torrent, but not start it (not downloading) - same situation with memory usage.
start torrent downloading and memory leaking on 3-5Mb with 10 seconds.
i'm tried to disable utp, dht and change some other settings - no result.
think memory leak is related with the downloading torrents data, but how fix it?

super-poussin, can you help to locate and fix this leak?

I am willing to offer a reward for your help in solving this problem (eg, paypal donate).
moreover, that according to previous reports, this problem affects many users.

ps: if you do not want or for whatever reason can not help to solve this problem,
please, I would like to hear your opinion on the possible solutions to this problem.

I had the permission denied error too at first. It turned out that the folders Transmission was using to put the incomplete/completed files did not have write permissions for the Transmission user (nogroup / nobody). After getting the permissions and folders right, everything works ok with me, though it usually hogs up a lot of memory when it's downloading. I think the standard setting is that it is using a buffer of 2GB i think, which is a bit more than the memory in a Duo...

I'm getting the memory leaks too... Transmission crashes in about 30 minutes. Anyone with upgraded memory get this?

I heard going back to 2.22 helps... Anyone confirm this?

In my case (installed original 256Mb memory, not upgraded or replaced) helped only downgrading to version 2.11.
My ReadyNAS Duo running second day without Out-Of-Memory killing.
Transmission up and running normally - used in total 20-30Mb, seems memory leak stopped.

I'm still waiting for a response from the super-poussin, perhaps he will tell what the problem with newer versions of Transmission (> 2.11).
May be his Transmission builds require some newer versions of libevent/libcurl not available on RAIDar 4.1.7 and early versions.

In my past experience is a version mismatch of libraries can lead to crashes, memory leaks and other failures.
But we need confirmation from the super-poussin - what library versions he was used to compile Transmission.

I would still like to install Transmission. As I posted one or two pages ago, I upload and confirm that I want to install. Then as soon as it starts I get the message: Installation of this add-on conflicts with an existing service. Aborting installation. When I go to the "Add-ons" page there's nothing listed..

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

reading your posts I think I would like to uninstall latest Transmission as it simply doesn't work for me and try the older version 2.11.

I have RAIDar 4.1.7 as I use 3TB drives.

How do I do this?

I am using a Readynas Ultra 2.
Thanks

I have uninstalled and then installed 2.11 and it works fine.
