which torrent app for Amahi?

[kikkegek]

On my WHS I used to have the uTorrent addin. But it used a lot of resources.

what app is best for torrents (with .torrent monitor in a specified folder?) on Amahi?

[apastor]

I suggest transmission or utorrent

I have both installed but use transmission.

hi, thanks for the reply. any reasons why? versatility? system load?

[apastor]

No reason really. They are both excellent and both very light on the system.

I installed transmission now, because I already knew uTorrent. the app works fine, but I cant seem to find where I can limit the ratio for the upload. In uTorrent you could tell the app to stop uploading when the ratio of a file hits X (1.5 in my case).

Can I set this in Transmission also?

[kikkegek]

I changed these two lines in the configuration file. and restarted the daemon. hope it works.

ratio-limit: 1.5 (default = 2.0)
ratio-limit-enabled: true (default = false)

IN the bottom left hand corner there is a menu option there to configure the app.

thanks, I already found that, but there is no share ratio option in there.

another question:
can you tell me what the option in this PREFERENCES menu does?

add transfers
download to: /var/hda/files/torrents (in my case)

is this the folder I can place torrent files in so they are automatically added to the queue?

This is the correct folder, but that setting just deals with where transmission sends the completed download. There is actually a cron job set up to watch that folder for any .torrent files and then sends them to the transmission daemon.

Also, modifying that line in the config will work as expected to set the max ratio.
