Transmission
- Description: Transmission is a Peer to Peer (P2P) Client,which will let you download files from the BitTorrent Network. It support encryption and peer blocking. Some scripts have been added to enhance the capabilities like uncompressing files, moving complete downloads to a specific directory.
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data. BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files, and by some estimates it accounts for about 35% of all traffic on the entire Internet.[1]
The protocol works initially when a file provider makes his file (or group of files) available to the network. This is called a seed and allows others, named peers, to connect and download the file. Each peer who downloads a part of the data makes it available to other peers to download. After the file is successfully downloaded by a peer, many continue to make the data available, becoming additional seeds. This distributed nature of BitTorrent leads to a viral spreading of a file throughout peers. As more seeds get added, the likelihood of a successful connection increases exponentially. Relative to standard Internet hosting, this provides a significant reduction in the original distributor's hardware and bandwidth resource costs. It also provides redundancy against system problems and reduces dependence on the original distributor
- Requirements: RAIDiator 4.2.15+
- Platform: x86
- Current Version:2.82
Transmission 2.82(x86)
Transmission 2.80(x86)
Transmission 2.77 (x86)
Transmission 2.73 (x86)
Transmission 2.71 (x86)
- I add a repair button in case of firmware upgrade (no need to reinstall transmission but require PHP)
- Transmission will not start just after upgrade or install if location is not set in settings.json in case of upgrade
- Empty location in setings.json if /media does not exist (fresh install)
- Empty watch-dir setting if /media does not exist (fresh install)
- Prefetch disabled by default
- DHT disabled by default
- incomplete-dir empty if /media does not exist (fresh install)
So it mean thaht you will need to modify settings.json before starting transmission the first time you install it

- an email is sent when a toorent is finished downloading (using exim if you setup your alert to custom indtead of internal in frontview)
To be able to receive email you have two solutions :
1st) modif your alert settings in frontview and use custom-provider instead of internal and also use advanced parameters
2d) modify the email_alert file located in /addons-config/Transmission/ :
replace the email_alert file with this one and do not forget to change SMPT_SERVER value to a correct one
#!/bin/sh
NAIL=/usr/bin/nail
SMTP_SERVER=smtp.orange.fr
SUBJECT="Torrent Done!"
if [ -f /etc/frontview/alert.conf ]; then
EmailTo=`/bin/grep "email" /etc/frontview/alert.conf | /usr/bin/awk -F '!!' '{ print $2 }' | /usr/bin/awk -F ',' '{ print $1 " " $2 " " $3 }'`
else
EmailTo=`/bin/grep "email" /frontview/conf/alert.conf | /usr/bin/awk -F '!!' '{ print $2 }' | /usr/bin/awk -F ',' '{ print $1 " " $2 " " $3 }'`
fi
if [[ "$(readlink `which sendmail`)" = "/usr/bin/msmtp" ]]; then
EmailFrom=`/bin/grep '^from' /etc/msmtprc | /usr/bin/cut -f2 -d' '`
else
EmailFrom=`/bin/echo $EmailTo | awk '{ print $1 }'`
fi
echo "From:$EmailFrom To:$EmailTo"
# Create the email message
EmailFile=/tmp/tmp_email.txt
if [ -f "$EmailFile" ]; then
rm -f $EmailFile
fi
touch $EmailFile
# Create the message headers
echo "Date: `date -R`" >> $EmailFile
#echo "From: $EmailFrom" >> $EmailFile
#echo "To: $EmailTo" >> $EmailFile
#echo "Subject:Torrent Done!" >> $EmailFile
#echo "MIME-Version: 1.0" >> $EmailFile
#echo "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1" >> $EmailFile
echo "" >> $EmailFile
# Create the message body
/bin/echo " Hostname: $HOSTNAME" >> $EmailFile
/bin/echo "Transmission finished downloading \"$TR_TORRENT_NAME\" on $TR_TIME_LOCALTIME" >> $EmailFile
/bin/echo "" >> $EmailFile
/bin/echo "----------------------------------------------------------------------" >> $EmailFile
/bin/echo "Your add-ons developer Super-Poussin" >> $EmailFile
#/bin/cat $EmailFile |/usr/sbin/sendmail -f $EmailFrom $EmailTo
$NAIL -v -S from="$EmailFrom" -S smtp -s "$SUBJECT" -S smtp=$SMTP_SERVER "$EmailTo" < $EmailFile
rm -f $EmailFile
#################################################################################################################
# you can use nail instead of readynas exim in this case : #
# uncomment the $NAIL line #
# comment the message header section #
# put a correct SMTP_SERVER value #
#################################################################################################################
#################################################################################################################
# this script will work with exim if you use custom parateters in frontview aka you specify : #
# username #
# smtp server ans so on #
#################################################################################################################
- watchdog is removed cause it can full the root
- 60 second timeout on install for blocklist download
- Scripts are now in /addons-scripts/Transmission
- Config is now in /addons-config/Transmission
- To see this new share no need to reboot 🙂
- All your download are preserved during this directory change
- your nas will send yiou an email with link and release not in case of update
if you don't want an email remove or rename /addons-config/Transmission/email-allowed
New Super-poussin features :
- Torrent creation interface :
Torrent file created are in /c/webroot/transmission and also in /c/media/BitTorrent/sources for immediate seeding
the torrent creation interface is http://younasip/transmission
- better transmission start/stop script
you have now 3 scripts you need to modify to start/stop transmission properly (torrents are stopped and restart in the last state after a reboot for example)
scripts are in /c/addons-config/Transmission/ :
transtart.sh
transtop.sh
blocklist.sh
New transtop and transtart (people upgrading from a version < 2.04 must do the change by hand based on the code bellow)
Vador:/Develop/TRANSMISSION-V# cat files/tmp/transtart.sh
#!/bin/sh
# *************
# transmission start by super-poussin
# *************
# Variables
#
# Path to transmission-remote
REMOTE="/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote"
# Options to be passed to transmission-remote
TRANSOPT=" localhost:8181 -n admin:password1"
# *************
LIST=`cat /c/addons-config/Transmission/downloading.txt`
for ID in $LIST; do
$REMOTE $TRANSOPT --torrent $ID --start > /dev/null
done
# *************
# transmission stop by super-poussin
# *************
# Variables
#
# Path to transmission-remote
REMOTE="/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote"
# Options to be passed to transmission-remote
TRANSOPT=" localhost:8181 -n admin:password1"
# *************
RUNING="$($REMOTE $TRANSOPT -l | tail -n +2 | head -n -1 | grep -v Stopped |awk '{ print $1; }' | awk -F "*" '{ print $1; }')"
echo $RUNING > /c/addons-config/Transmission/downloading.txt
LIST="$($REMOTE $TRANSOPT -l | tail -n +2 | head -n -1 | grep -v Stopped | awk '{ print $1; }' | awk -F "*" '{ print $1; }')"
for ID in $LIST; do
$REMOTE $TRANSOPT --torrent $ID --stop > /dev/null
done
simply replace the passwod in the line (password1 by default)
PS: if you do not change the passwords and they are not matching: transmission will stop as before and you will have a cheking for each torrent at restart
- Also:
if a /Media exist the transmission install will note create a /media to avoid confusion
if it's an upgrade it will also not try to create subdirectories in /media
initial start/stop are restored in case you do change in it
- All Platforms¶
- Fix 2.02 bug where new transfers could not be added and the inspector would not appear

- Fix filename errors for torrents whose files are encoded in ISO-8859-1
