Transmission - Easy question

I had to delete 3 tbs of media to move to Amahi.
So . . . I need to get them back ASAP.

Transmission is downloading only 5 items with the 6th in the queue. I have unlimited upload and download bandwidth.

How to adjust the number of (torrents) downloads?

Take a look in the wiki.
https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Transmission

The majority of our tutorials and help for common issues/configurations can be found in the wiki.

I really appreciate your help here as a newbie, but please assume that I have read the wiki.

While this one is helpful, because it hints ad how I might add a "plex" user for that issue, it does not say how to increase the number of torrent downloads when running HDA 7, Fedora 19 and teh current plugin.

It is possible I missed it, I hope I did , but I don't think so.

I never assume as many forget to look there or search the forums before posting :)

Guidance is there, but does not mention all the settings that can be changed including this one. You need to edit the /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json file.

In there you will see:
"download-queue-size": 5,
We probably should update the wiki to show more of the common settings users would want to modify. I am surprised the web UI does not allow changing that piece.

If you would not mind adding more to the wiki, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I am learning more each day and would be willing to share.

I will check out the Wiki and get some editing authority.

All you have to do is request an account in the wiki. Please ensure you put the reason you want the account or it may get denied.

I am an approval authority for wiki accounts, so if I see it come in I can approve.
