Totally understand... and though we don't often say it we /do/ appreciate it. :-)

First of all congratulations for the great work you've put in transmission!!!!
Can you please define what you mean by slower... Will it reduce download speed???

I've copied files from my PC to my DUO a few times and loaded the .torrent file in order to have transmission seed them and it worked fine.
Transmission checked them, reached 100% and started seeding them.
Until a couple of days ago when i copied two Video files around 5Gb each that I had recorded using my Dreambox 800 and wanted to upload to a private tracker.
I created the .torrent file using uTorrent on my PC and then copied files to the DUO and loaded the .torrent file. Transmission started checking the files but stopped on around 98-99% on both files. Of coarse there was nothing to download since it's my files and it never started seeding...
Any ideas why it could happen? I changed preallocation value and rechecked but the same every time.....
I loaded the .torrent file on my pc and it worked fine and started seeding normally....

Thanx!!!

First thank you for providing the community with this great addon :-)
Simple question as i can't find information about upgrading anywhere and i do not know how the .bin files are made. Upgrading from 1.93 -> 2.0. Can i just download and install or do i need to remove the 1.93 prior to installing 2.0?

Regards

you can simply upgrade by applying 2.0

Hi guys. After the update did anyone find that "/addons-scripts/Transmission" wasn't accessible? Is there an easy way to sort it?

Well, I've had a recurrence of an issue that is really starting to become a problem with 2.0. Without having reinstalled or restarted the add-on, the /addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon directory changed ownership to nobody:nogroup... despite the fact that the daemon itself is running as an actual user and group on the system.

The problem? As soon as it changes the ownerships back (WHY???) all the resume files become unwritable (access perms) and the torrents all pause.

DUMB

I've adjusted the file modes to try and avoid this for now. But could someone PLEASE tell me why it's so difficult to keep this thing configured in a working state? Was this a change in 2.0? I don't recall having this much trouble ever before...

I just notice that my addons-config share does not show up on the frontview share listing?

is it supposed to?

if not, how do I get it to so I can access the share options like normal shares?

Yeah it shows in Frontview. I'm running 1.93 can't speak for the new 2.0 version.

argh!! I think 2.0 may not be ready for prime time unless you happen to run it happily has nobody:nogroup.

My last attempt at this was to set perms for /addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon as <user>:nogroup and allowing group, other r+w.

Well, I wake up this morning to find that oh, no, no, no... it's back to nobody:nogroup and group and other perms are removed. WTH!?

Someone please help. I think it's time for 1.93 again. :-(

When i have time !
Did you try 2.01 beta ?
