Transmission auto-load torrents problem

Postby Asteris » Thu Aug 18, 2011 5:56 am

I installed Transmission, corrected the permission problems (share was 'Torrents', transmission was trying to save to 'torrents') and everything was going ok, web interface works fine, until i saved 3 torrents within 20 seconds to the torrent share. Transmssion uploaded only one and deleted all three of them. I edited the transmission watch conf file to set 1 minute checking intervals, but it is still slow and some torrents are lost from time to time. Is there anything i can do about it?

Conf file:

# watch for torrent files in the torrents directory
*/1 * * * * transmission transmission-remote localhost:9091 -a /var/hda/files/Torrents/*.torrent && rm -f /var/hda/files/Torrents/*.torrent

i don't know but that

Code: Select all

rm -f /var/hda/files/Torrents/*.torrent
seems suspicious when the problem is files disappearing.

not too familiar with the transmission setup here, sorry.

I was having that exact issue with Transmission.
I tried removing and reinstalling it but it didn't help, I had to add one file at a time, wait for it to start and then add the next one.
I ended up installing uTorrent which picked up everything grand

The conf file i posted, is the original one, except it has 5 instead of 1, which is the time interval for Transmission to check for new torrents. When it picks up the torrent, it instantly deletes the *.torrent file. Perhaps i'll replace the 1 with 0.1 . If i'm lucky, the code might be smart enough and check every 0.1 of a minute for new torrents.

Same problem here.
But I don't have a solution.

On my F12 amahi install with transmission this was not a problem. Maybe something changed?
