Ubuntu :: 11.04 - Transmission Not Seeding To Connected Peers
Aug 16, 2011
I'm having a small issue with Transmission. (I am running Ubuntu 11.04). Every time I attempt to download a torrent, it will download fine, though I could do some minor improvements. The problem I am having is that once it finishes, the torrent will just sit there and say "Seeding to 0 of 0 connected peers" when I am sure as hell there are peers to seed to. I have done this with multiple torrents and they all seem to do the same thing.
I can only access the Transmission web interface while the Transmission-gtk client is running. When I close it, the web interface is no longer available. I try to manually start the transmission-daemon, but the process never shows up as running.
I have multiple ubuntu systems under my care running an older version which need to be upgraded to 10.04 rather quickly and the easiest way I could figure out to do this was with an automated live CD.
The initial partitioning method I used was as follows:
So I'm trying to build this live cd with pre-seeding which will install ubuntu 10.04 to the appropriate partitions, but retain the home directories of my users. However I'm pretty sure that this is not possible according to some of the documentation I have read, but I'm not 100% on this so could someone please tell me once and for all if it is or is not.
I've used Transmission for about a year now, and i haven't had any problems with it. But a couple of weeks ago it suddenly wouldn't connect to any peers. It gets peer list from tracker, then nothing happens.Ive tried using different clients (Vuze and Deluge) and the same story goes for both. Ive tried restarting the router in case of any DNS crap, getting nothing.Ive installed Firestarter only to create an exception for traffic on the torrent ports (even though it probably is pointless)Now both google and myself seem to be out of ideas. Does anybody have something i could try out and possibly fix this. Everything points to some software issue...
What configuration options in /etc/ntp.conf do I have to set to allow other computers to receive time from a ntpd server? I've tried removing "nopeers" and "noquery" from the restrict lines, but I can't see anything on port 123.
After I finish a download in ktorrent, the torrent stops seeding.
A couple of notes: my download speeds are fantastic (~6mb/s), while my seeding during download is about 60kb/s. However, this seed speed seems to fluctuate a lot from about 3kb/s. Once the download completes, the seed goes to 0kb/s, and the torrent doesn't find as many leachers. For now, after I finish downloading, I re-download a portion of my download at a limited rate of 1kb/s so that the seed continues.
Lastly, I am currently running through a VPN server, however I this issue happens even if I'm running a normal connection.
I'm looking for a way to determine a torrent's seeds & peers through the terminal, using the .torrent file.The purpose is to eventually send the information to a local (offline) webpage I have for keeping track of torrents.
I want to start off by saying I'm very new to Ubuntu. I have been using Ubuntu for about a week now and have not looked back!! Now on to my issue. I have been tying to update Transmission 1.75(9117) to the lasted version (transmission-1.92) but i can't seem to get the Synaptic Package Manager to find it. I have downloaded transmission-1.92 and extracted it on to the desktop but Synaptic Package Manager still can't find it.
I can't seem to get transmission to boot up at start up. I read that I just needed to put "transmission -m" as the command in the start up window, but that doesn't seem to be working and I have no idea where the actual file resides to point to it
have a computer working 24/7, although a reboot procedure was performed and now I've no way to get transmission running, since I have no physical access to the machine.The only way I can access is throw ssh.Does any one knows any way of get it started?
Transmission is a simple BitTorrent client. It features a very simple, intuitive interface (gui and command-line) on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end. This package contains the common files for the different transmission versions.
Changes
Changes for the versions: 1.75-0ubuntu2 1.75-0ubuntu2.2
Version 1.75-0ubuntu2.2:
* SECURITY UPDATE: fix arbitrary file overwrite via crafted torrent file - debian/patches/CVE-2010-0012.patch: adjust metainfo.c to check for '../' - CVE-2010-0012
So, I employed the update. Problem is, I do not see this as an installed application. TRANSMISSION is not listed in any submenu under the Applications menu OR Add/Remove.
Iam always downloading files using transmission bittorrent, the problem is my sister always keep pausing my all my downloads because it somehow slows her internet speed in her rooms computer, any way I can have a password prompted every time she pauses all my downloads in transmission?
When I try to open Transmission I get a message: "Couldn't open "/home/shai/.config/transmission/lock": Permission denied", and the only way to open it is by using gksudo.
I read on another thread that I need to delete that file, but the file doesn't exist.
I recently started using Transmission torrent client. I love it! The light weight and web interface feature is compelling. I am not able to figure out how to queue torrents.
I've installed many different versions on Ubuntu, many different times and I've never had a problem with transmission... untill now. I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 ( I was already previously using 10.04) and I updated and set up transmission but when I tested the port it said it was closed. This has never happened before.
I tried changing the port about 15 times but it says they are all closed. So I tried opening one..
... but still nothing. I have no firewall running and everything else works fine. Transmission was working before, on the same ports, same version of transmission, and same version of Ubuntu. Nothing has changed.
UPDATE: Actually it's version 2.04 not 2.0, guess the site i followed was a little dated.
so i was a little hasty in upgrading Tranmission to version 2.0 and after a while i noticed that the new version is really slow especially for public torrents my question is; is it possible to downgrade to version 1.93?
i followed these command to install the new version.
I am using ubuntu netbook edition 10.04 on acer aspire one. My wireless is working perfectly when I am surfing the net or downloading ..... videos however when I use transmission (bit torrent) it will download for awhile then my wireless will not work and yet it shows that it is connected...then I have to reconnect again then the torrent starts downloading for awhile usually 1-2 mins then the wireless will fail again.
An interesting point to note: When I connect the ethernet cable to my netbook, bit torrent download perfectly it only happens when i'm using wireless. It is annoying how I have to physically connect my netbook to the modem to download bit torrent files.
I ve got ubuntu 10.04 x64 server with transmision-daemon transmission-common installed(ive tried both from rep and from source code). torrent service is up:
PHP Code:[code].........
it was working good for about half a day, a can connect to it from WAN and now, when im home - i cant connet from LAN. It just didnt respond
I was able to do this once but ive forgotten how to.
Basically i want to copy and paste the metadata from tranmission onto a usb key-im about to reformat my installation and want to back up my metadata so i dont have to manually add all my unfinished torrents.
Ideally I would love to have a script that watches my Home/Dropbox/Attachments folder for any torrent files. When there is a torrent file in the Attachments folder it will launch Transmission if it is not up already.But if not I can do it this way tooBasically what I somewhat have now is I'm trying to use Dropbox to start Transmission when I want it to.I have this script running every 3 minutes in Ubuntu Tweak to watch for any scripts I want to run from my Dropbox/remote/commands folder. Whenever a script gets placed in the commands folder it runs it. Which is this
p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }a:link { } Is it possible to use Transmission BitTorrent like limewire?
If so how? I am not familiar with terms like associated 'torrent file and 'tracker' websites'' The help files at the Transmission website assume a high level of preexisting knowledge. Is there a way to learn this program starting from scratch?
Giving me the message: Requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker. - idle'Vuze, when I start it, just closes before it even makes itself known!Can someone let me know of reliable torrent client with multi-tracker support, either deb install or easy to follow terminal instructions?
How to make a private torrent on Transmission? Back when I was on windows I used to do it on utorrent. I remember that you had to put [URL] for the announce url. I figured it would be the same thing on Transmission, but it's not working. Did I skip something, or do something wrong? Or is there a whole different way to do it on Transmission? It's been a while since I've done this.
