Transmission 2.33 fails to connect to UDP trackers
Hi guys, I just got my self a ReadyNAS NV+ last week and been since then customizing it to my liking. It's running Radiator 4.1.7 and Transmission 2.33 But then I noticed that otherwise perfect ...
Well. Downgraded to the transmission 2.31 add-on, as it was (from my understanding?) the last none beta release to support UDP.
It occassionally connects (very low speeds) but the NAS is getting disconnected from the network after about 5-10 minutes, consistently. The only way to stop it is to disable the add-on.
With 2.32 I had patchy performance but it was stable so long as I only had one torrent underway at any one time. This includes paused torrents. However I'm having trouble replicating that at this time.
At the same time running Transmission on my 8 year old Ubuntu laptop is - using the same torrent files - connecting straight away and achieving speeds I've never had going through readynas route. And not getting removed from the network.
I'm not necessarily worried about the speed, more the stability. I don't want the readynas disappearing from the network. At the moment I might investigate some automatic start up and shut down scripts for the ubuntu laptop and use that as the download manager instead of the readynas. But it's not really the way I want to go...... All thoughts and suggestions are welcome, I think I've long exhausted my understanding and am quickly reaching the end of my patience too!
Please however do not take this as a dig at the Transmission add-on, or Super-poisson, because it isn't. I know this is a port of the transmission software that super-poisson is working on and supporting in their own time. However Netgear sell their ReadyNas as able to operate as a download manager/bittorrent client, and supply it with an "official" add-on to do so. However it was unreliable in itself and, from looking around, doesn't really appear to be actively supported by Netgear themselves. So in my eyes if it wasn't for Super-poisson then Netgear wouldn't have the "right" to call this a feature of their system at all.... and I can't help but feel a little bit cheated by that fact. That in order to try and get a feature of their product working, I have to spend evenings badgering those that are working on this in their freetime in order to try and get some semblance of the performance that they market.
Rant over ;-)
