New Transmission add-on thread

At least the Mac client of Transmission has a neat feature called "Groups", where the torrents are put in categories according to filter criteria. However, the integration into the WebClient doesn't seem to be quite simple.

Of course, a script reading out the tracker information and automatically selecting a category would be preferable, but I couldn't find anything yet.

I must apologise in advance for what will no doubt be one of the dumbest questions asked in this forum! :oops:

I have installed Transmission 2.01 on my ReadyNAS Duo and everything seems to running properly. The only problem is that i cant work out how to download any torrents through the Transmission Web Interface!

Please feel free to laugh, but ive spent approx 7 hours trying to find an answer on the net (and this forum) alas to no avail...

Am i missing something obvious? is there a help file i can refer to?

Super thanks in advance!

More precise information would help. I'm not sure whether I understand you correctly: Do you already have a .torrent-file or do you try obtaining one directly through the Web Interface? The latter will not work.
Do you get any error messages from Transmission or the tracker?

Once you have a .torrent-file, you can upload it with the "Open"-button in the upper left and Transmission will download the containing files from other users connected to the BitTorrent-network. Transmission however is only a client, which requires input about what files to download, it's not a search engine.

You also need to forward ports in your router (51413 is the standard setting).

going on a similar "arrange download by yyy condition", then i'd go one step further and go for a label type system. since i use a watch folder rather than add via webgui, i could right click the torrent, select it's label, and that label would move the torrent to a predefined download location. say a linux distro, i would add it to transmission, select my "ISO" label that i've configured, and it will auto move it from my "unsorted" folder, to "iso" folder. im guessing this would be done at transmission dev level, so i might submit a feature request.

Not sure if this wouldnwork for you, but I just have a cron job set to identify certain types of downloaded data and then move them to predefined folders for organization. For instance:

mv /c/BitTorrent/Downloads/*.iso /c/Organized/ISO

# or

mv /c/BitTorrent/Downloads/ubuntu* /c/Organized/ISO/Ubuntu

Thanks danielvegas, believe it or not you have answered my question! i was just confused about uploading a file to download it... i now have some files downloading in the program and all appears well in the world!

I haven't modified any ports or any settings beyond the passwords. I assume everything else is ok 'out of the box' as it were? i.e the encryption and security etc?

Thanks again for your help - absolutely delighted! :D :D

HI there,
Just installed transmission (latest) on the sparc duo.

I've enabled "delete torrent after download" in the config.. where does it delete it from ? The torrent still seeds for ages aftwards.

Is there anyway to limit seeding to, say, 10 minutes ?
Also.. how does the watched folder work ? I've created a "sources" folder in the "Bittorrent" folder.. but adding torrents to it doesn'tdo anything.

what am I doing wrong ?

take a look here : http://www.readynas.com/contributed/sup ... meters.htm

(look at ratio and watch )


BTW the sources directory is normally created at install

thanks for the pointer.. the source folder wasn't created. I guess it's case sensitive.. so I changed the case on the json config file.
Do you have any further info on how the ratio system works ?

Super-Poussin, how is the beta going?

i'm wondering as i'm kinda stuck with Transmission, I can't remove it nor can I access it. If you have some other ideas for me to test you're welcome to tell me.


Don't want to stress you to make one :) Keep up the good work!

Best regards

Hi Patrik

if you download 2.01 again from this site and install it it should work

a new beta will take time, Transmission refuse to compile on my sparc unit :( (no problem on x86)
