You sir, support my torrent addiction.

Hi Nick Howitt,

Also a nice solution, and i think easer to use! Thanks.

Hi,

Just another tip. I installed this Firefox addin. This addin automatically transports your torrent you want to download (with one click) to the Transmission-daemon. Works really great.

Then the torrent automatically shows up in the Transmission Remote GUI.

It is not note on the addin site, but BitTorent WebUI works well with Transmission.

That's even neater than Autotrans!

Anyone know how I can put in a new password? Ive entered all 3 of the normal passwords I use and its not taking it. I have it set in my browser so I can access the trans web page ok as Firefox has it saved for me. Im trying to get my trans remote gui connected again and it keeps refusing my authentication. I figured I would go into the config file and change it but wanted to check before I start messing with things.

Im also having problems with my path in the trans remote gui. trans is running on my Clear server named "server" so naturally \\server\ on my network. My downloads are in /var/lib/transmission/torrents but for some reason remote gui isnt liking my path.... anyone?
cant figure out that format of /share= \\pch\share no instructions or help so it kind of blows. Figured someone was running it and thought I would ask.

scratch the password, I got that resolved.
Can anyone help me with the paths?

Its probably becuase it doesn't have permission to write to that folder, if you want to have your downloads appear on your network (via flexshares) then create a flexshare folder first with file access (define owner as group allusers). Then change the download path to /var/flexshare/shares/mysharename

Note that the transmission process runs with the user 'transmission' - so this user must be able to write to your download directory. Run the following to change the ownership to transmission


Then you can browse your share form the network by \\server\mysharename and login with anyone from the 'allusers' group

Actually I tried that and it did some goofy stuff. It kept the flexshare folder I created in /flexshare/shares. It created a duplicate folder in the transmission folder.... like it created a symb link. I had my downloads set to go into the flexshare folder however it would put them into the folder it created in transmission. Nothing would seed from that point. I kept getting permission errors for no reason. Everything was set right. I rechecked to make sure all downs were going to that flexshare folder but they would go to the one in transmission. I figured hell, and dumped the folder and redid all of it. It did it again. Figured hell with it and dumped the flexshare and made a folder in transmission and set it to transmission as the owner and set it to share on the windows network. Works like it should just cant get the paths correct in the gui.
How are you supposed to create torrents and push them to seed? Im art of a private torrent group.

Hi Jeff 1965,

What i always do is edit the settings.json file of Transmission. I use winSCP and Putty (Windows) to do this. First you have to stop the Transmission service.



Go to /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/setting.json. Now you can change your settings. See settings.json file. Also see download-dir:



When edited you start the Transmission daemon again.



Hope this help solve your problem.

I have a multi-wan ClearOS box setup with multiple wan interface from different isp's. My question when i have set up transmisson, Does it use the multi-wan connections or just one single wan. If it only uses a single one, is it possible to set transmisson to use mutli-wan connections?
