Transmission permission denied on model 104

[atai1960]

Hi,

I have a problem with Transmission; everything start when I changed the Internet Provider.

I changed the DNS but when I start the download after few mb I receive the error: permission denied.

I am running the 2.82 version of Transmission and the firmware 6.2.5

Thanks

Hi atai1960,

Which DNS address or server have you added to your system? Make it 8.8.8.8 or your router gateway (IP) address and see if fixes the problem. Also, tell us where have you downloaded the transmission add-on (if it's on the get apps page or the available apps tab in the UI).

Looking forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Hi BrianL, 

Insert 8.8.8.8 on DNS address was the first thing done following another answer that I have seen here for the same problem. But di not works. I have downloaded the transmission add-on from the app page. 

Thanks

Any news about?

I am looking for a program that allow me to download torrent file without use a computer; Transmission was very good for this.

Thanks

Can you show where it says permission denied? You probably need to open up the share to read/write permissions more if you have a write issue. Check your shares' permissions.

[atai1960]

Here it is

and these are the read/write permission on Trasmission folder

[StephenB]

You need read/write access enabled on the network access tab too.  If that is already set, can you post the screen shot?

You also might try clicking on the reset control on the file access tab.  That should reset owner/group, etc. on all subfolders and files in the share.

Here it is

I also tried to reset but no way

You are saying that the reset didn't work correctly?  Or that it didn't help?

[atai1960]

I am saying it didn't help because I still have the problem

[StephenB]

You might look in your transmissions settings for "unmask".  If you find it, set it to 0.

I don't understand how to find this:

• then click on the “Edit settings.json” button.

[atai1960]

I tried to also remove the share and recreate it reinstalling again the Transmission but I always received the same error.
Are there any other apps that lets me use my NAS to download torrent files?
Transmission not working anymore on my NAS

Hello atai1960,

BitTorrent is another P2P app available for ReadyNAS OS6. You may also check this with super_poussin.

The problem is not solved. I still not able to download using Transmission. Everything start when I changed Internet Provider. 

[kohdee]

You should try randomizing your port instead of using the default port. Some ISPs block traffic on specific ports. Don't use 6881-6889

[atai1960]

I tried, but nothing.

I believe the problem is not the connection because the download start.

Everything stop when reach 4 mb, it seems is not able to write on the disk but everything is set up in the correct way (it was working before the Internet Provider change)

That of course suggests it is the connection.  

Try installing a torrent program on a PC and see if that fails too.

Also check to see if upnp is enabled on the router.

[atai1960]

That of course was the first thing that I tried; I have installed utorrent on a PC and works perfect.

In my opinion is not a matter of connection but it's something related to the NAS.

The download start correctly but after 4mb it stop and give the error.

Looking at the Incomplete folder I don't see any new folder created; look like it's impossible to write on the disk but the set up is correct

If it's writing the first 4 MB, then transmission is writing to the disk.  And there is no way the permissions magically changed when you switched to a new ISP.

So either the ISP switch is just coincidental, or we've been looking for the problem in the wrong place.

When you changed ISPs did you get a new router?

[atai1960]

The router is always the same.

I only changed the IP address from static to PPPoE.

If you say that Transmission is writing on the disk why I don't find anything on the Incomplete folder?

[StephenB]

You are the one that said it always downloads 4 MB and then stopped.  I can only use the data you give me.  Can you watch the folder while a torrent is still downloading?

Still, it is either a change you made to the NAS setup or the new ISP.  Did you make any changes at all on the NAS when you switched to the new service?

Also, you have confirmed that the NAS can reach the internet generally?

[atai1960]

I said that start downloading and then it stop when arrive at 4mb but this is what the transmission screen say.  If I look at the Incomplete folder while is downloading nothing happen. The only change I have done is the IP address type from static to pppoe. I receive mail from the NAS so I think it can reach Internet
