I'm having stability issues with Transmission on my Duo. The web GUI loses connection with the add-on and the green little indicator in the Duo's web GUI goes gray. I interpret this as the process crashed or stopped in some way. I can restart the Transmission but as soon as I try to do something, e.g., deleting a torrent, Transmission crashes again. I've enabled DHT but shouldn't the Duo have enough power to run Transmission anyway? Or can't I expect this add-on to run on this relatively weak system? I haven't upgraded the RAM either.

The Duo has enough resources to run Transmission, but you have to limit the settings a bit. To change these settings, you will have to disable Transmission, then open this file:\\IpOfNAS\addons-config\Transmission\transmission-daemon\settings.jsonChange the following settings:"cache-size-mb" should be a few MB (~2 or so)"peer-limit-global" should be around 50"peer-limit-per-torrent" should be around 5Then start Transmission again and it should work better.

Thanks JarnoG. Seems to work fine so far.

Thanks will try these settings also.I have already turned off DHT too.

It looks like I'm stuck with 2.22, which I've been using for a couple years, as it's the latest version I seem to be able to run on my Duo that's stable. Anything after that routinely disconnects on me. The standard settings (and the ones I use) for 2.22 are:"cache-size-mb" 2"peer-limit-global" 240"peer-limit-per-torrent" 60For 2.42 it's:"cache-size-mb" 200"peer-limit-global" 240"peer-limit-per-torrent" 60but even setting the cache to 2 doesn't stop 2.42 from disconnecting on me. I hope an update is in the works which fixes these stability problems.

You can not change the password using the webinterface, you will have to edit the settings.json file.

Stop the Transmission add-on and open settings.json
Change "rpc-password" and "rpc-username" to whatever you want. The password should be between the "" and not start with {.
After saving the file, start the Transmission add-on again.
It will automatically change the plain-text password in the settings file to a encoded one and save that.

Make sure to set "rpc-authentication-required" to true or it will not use the username/password

I'm having trouble getting Transmission 2.40 to work on an Ultra 2. Regardless of which setting file I use (I've tried the settings files that's been posted) I get "permission denied opening folder XXX" after a while and the transfer is aborted.

Do I need to makesome chmod-changes for it to work?

You can do that via Frontview, follow the suggestions posted here.
Make sure this is done for both the shares which contain the downloaded and incomplete folders if they aren't in the same share.
