Set it up with 1 2 TB HDD (for now), installed Transmission (2.22.09), installed Remote GUI for MAC Start downloading At first (1-2 minutes) everything's OK, but then downloading stops and i see an error in Transmission WEB: Error: No Data found! Ensure your drives are connected or use "Set Location". To re-download, remove the torrent and re-add it Downloaded 65 MiB of 40 GiB (0.14%) What shall i do with it? What data? What Set location? Did you change the default download folder ( it should be /c/mecia/BitTorrent, etc,) or has recreated the share /media you had removed before install transmission?

First excuse my bad English^ second... I have the same problem.... perhaps somebody give me advice??
and the last in web interface transmission doesn't works(in nas menu) but it tries to download in gui....any advices??

@cclambie: you can try looking in your default download folder to see if you deleted all the data or just the torrent in Transmission. Though you probably already did that... Besides that, I've got no idea..

@devil: Make sure the default download folders are right (like Jemini says, default is /c/media/BitTorrent or something like that) and make sure that the user running Transmission (username: nobody) has read and write rights in those folders. If you changed the default folders to something else, re-double check these permissions ;)

Thanks JarnoG - I managed to find a copy of the files on an external HDD, I must of "moved" instead of copied these files or something... (Not sure how/why this happened, but anyway)

Hello,

I'm quite new to Linux and NAS'es but have spent 2 full evenings on trying to get Transmission to work without success. I tried to find any helping solution in one of the topics here, also without success.

I'm also getting the " permission denied " errors.
I already made a new share with full read/write access, reinstalled, manually edited the locations in settings.json and restarted the add on. Even ith fresh torrents the permission denied errors kept coming.

I did read a lot about other files to be changed trough SSH and sometimes even each couple of days. Since i'm still quite a newbie in the Linux world I don't think it will be a good idea for me to start snooping arround in files and folders I could do damage in.

The only reason I installed (or tried to install) the Transmission add on is because of the supporting of the use of a drop-in folder from which torrents automatically get added to Transmission for downloading. I read that it is possible in the normal BitTorrent client, but also not without tweaking/editing.

Could anyone tell me if there's a simple (easy-to-understand) solution for a) the permission-errors or b) automatic torrent-adding for download by another client (which would be quite off topic, I apologize for that)?

Any help would be appreciated.

I figured it out. The same problem as with my FTP server occured; in the sharelist i needed to click advanced, and then hard-set the owner and group to nobody and nogroup. Then all started working.

I will publish a new beta

I got some problems with Transmission on my Ultra2 x86 readynas. When i install it report that "there was an error during installation" but i still works and it shows up in frontview and i can start it. But the big problem is that i wont autostart on reboot. I have to manually start it everytime. Any suggestions? This is a clean install of latest version on latest firmware

Might be worth checking the permissions on the email_alert script. My emails were initially not working either until I found out that the script didn't have execute permissions. chmod 755 /addons-config/Transmission/email_alert Did the trick for me.

Super-poussin, when adding a torrent with private trackers via the web interface nothing is added. In support of the transmission people say that we must put the file cookies.txt in the directory configuration. I tried, but unfortunately the torrent and not added. Will this work on readynas ulta and if it is in which directory to put the file cookies.txt?
