New Transmission add-on thread

S-P,

im not sure if your aware of it, but the the download, idle, seeding .txt tracking files arent being writen to (timestamp updated, but the contents of each file is empty). torrents are in various stages, and their status' are being remembered during reboots/restarts of transmission daemon. im on 2.03 final.

im not sure if this is something you've re-worked or transmission devs have re-worked this process for some reason.

... just a bit of feedback for you :)
so far 2.03 has been 100% perfect for me. it's working flawlessly.

looks like i spoke too soon, and i've broken transmission!

getting around 200 lines of network port connectivity, and high CPU time on the transmission daemon (all torrents paused).
in an attempt to fix it, i tried to uninstall transmission and reinstall it.

Frontview says "An error occurred while removing the Transmission add-on."

super-poussin, once again, thank you for your hard work. I have a question about 2.03. I removed my older version and installed the latest. I don't want to get emails so I've renamed the file in /c/addons-config/Transmission to no_email-allowed, but I keep getting emails when a torrent completes. I stopped and then restarted Transmission, but it's still sending emails. Is there an additional secret to turning email notification off? Thank you, Blues

it's in settings.json for finished download email

download 2.03 again it should be solved

looks like i found something funky with the way transmission works; even when torrents are paused (as the daemon is started), it seems it still annouces itself to the tracker; this would explain alot of network connections orginating from transmission.
not a problem in itself, but worth knowing if your trying to diagnose issues :)

seems transmission isnt as broken as i thought! still not sure about the high CPU time, but it's settled down now - maybe with a recent mass .torrent add to transmission was still pre-allocating files.

I found that large files (say >5GB) cause the CPU usage of my Duo to go up to 95% while downloading. Seeding is fine, but during the download the box is barely usable. Maybe this explains your problem, veeheex?

maybe. i'll have todo some more testing tonight to see if it's file size issue.

S-P, i have issues with resuming torrents again, when transmission daemon is stop/started.
the 3 .txt files (seeding, idle, download) timestamps are being updated when transmission stops, but they dont have any contents.

on transmission being restarted, the 2 torrents i have; one paused, one being checked when they should of gone straight to downloading.


also, under the transtop.sh file, are you aware of NO space between '|' and 'awk'? i presume their ment to have spaces?

running the latest 2.03 with the updated 'remove' process you did earlier today.

at first i thought my issues were permissions, but i've completely removed and reinstalled transmission just to be sure. (I had to reset permissions on various shares sometime last week)

Tried disabling and enabling it a few times, and a restart, but still no luck. The torrent creation page worked though. I also set the "umask" value. Then I tried 2.03 for Sparc (Duo,NV+...) same problem. BUT 2.01 seems to work without a problem :) can you download 2.02 official again from this site. it should produce a message in frontview log in case of error during install

Cheers SP, will do.

Also, I'm sure not if its Transmission or not, but I have noticed it won't open the ports automatically. I might just be my router being stupid, but I never noticed the problem before. Port forwarding is enabled in my router and Transmission (GUI).
