My downloads (Movies) usually have long and weird names, and I wish to be able to rename these to a more understandable name, but retain the original for seeding purposes.

So my viewing directory on my TV would have the name I wish to see it as, ie "Exodus" but transmission would see the same files as EX.1.fredsmith.BlueDisk.720.mkv

I and wish to end up with one file with two names.

I am not a programmer, and I am retired , so looking to utilise my WD space to 1 file, instead of 2.

Can anyone help me, please?

Does anyone know how to run BitTorrent Sync on WD MyBook World Edition (White line)?

You will have to forgive me as I am a complete noob with this kind of stuff.

I installed Transmission 2.61 on my mybook live using FeaturePacks Manager and it worked great but one of the trackers that I use only allows v 2.03

As per the title… My question is how do I downgrade to v 2.03

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I am running transmission version 2.03-2 (as shown from command apt-cache show transmission. I use flexget to add files to a watch directory but they are never picked up by transmission and they never start to download. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Here is my settings.json file.

Without sufficient forethought, I upgraded firmware MyBook World Edition White Lights. I DID NOT backup optware. Now I need Transmission, but the current optware 2.61 is not yet approved by my tracker.

I have located the source, and I can probably work out how to cross-compile and thus install a previous version of Transmission.

However, if someone has the ipk file for Transmission version 1.93, 2.00, of 2.33 that would save me the time and trouble.

On the other hand, wrestling through the problem could improve my discretion :) Though, I fear this is more of a character issue on my part than simply poor habits!

I found transmission_2.01-1_arm.ipk but I don't understand the errors when I try to run it after install. The install seems fine; I've tried both clean install and downgrade from the current 2.61 version. Each install reports good, shows no errors; but, when I run I get this:

~ # transmission-daemon /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: 3: 4?4: not found /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: 3: cannot open : No such file /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: 3: ELF?B>k%ilj4sPhW???x???I9{:??nm1~?? b?rQ?UDNJ5qJ]pԓ??Ѫ?e??ě*!??}zE???T0?#?[ ?;????ʺ?S??@???"???٣?|Y? L???.?DH7@4?A0: not found /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: /opt/bin/transmission-daemon: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") ~ #

Any and all help will be appreciated. A bit of trolling will be considered fair treatment for being such a dufus.

Any tutorial that I could follow using this version of Firmware?

Before the update I was used to install Transmission by myself, building from scratch Transmissionbt.
Now when I try to install some packages the answer is always the following or a similar one:

Preconfiguring packages ... (Reading database ... dpkg: warning: files list file for package `ramlog' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. dpkg: warning: files list file for package `libparted0' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.

Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.15.8.12_powerpc.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Any idea?
What do you guys have installed?

Is the easiest option to Downgrade?

Thanks in advance

i've tried to install transmission with optware, but the web interface seems not to work. i'm just getting a white website with some text, but there is nothing to click or add. i suppose there should be at least an option to add a link..

About
Transmission Homepage
Transmission Tip Jar
Statistics
Total Download Rate

Unlimited
Limit (10 kB/s)
…….

so 've tried to add a link with the terminal, but the download doesn't start. the link the i've tried works. i've check it with transmission from the ubuntu distr . this are the steps, that i've tried:

start transmission
/opt/bin/transmission-daemon

add a link
transmission-remote -a (link)

check the links
transmission-remote -l
ID Done Have ETA Up Down Ratio Status Name
1 n/a None Done 0.0 0.0 None Unknown (nuimber)
Sum: None 0.0 0.0

i'm getting the following error message after a while:
ransmission-remote: localhost:9091/transmission/rpc/) Error

can somebody give me a tip?

i have a wd mybook world edition 2
transmission 2.5

thx

It's been some years when I was here last time…

I need you help guys on a quick one.

My current transmission (1.76 (9395)) + transmission-remote-dotnet front-end has served me well for years but
I have to use magnet links today that simply do not work with it anymore.

To which transmission would you suggest me do upgrade to that is stabil and works well?

I can see the following versions:
1) on optware: 2.42-1
2) in transmission site: 2.50

Thanks a lot in advance, anpe008

Is it the one that i am loiking foe

I have a WD MyBook World 1Tb Blue-rings edition and I'm running Transmission 1.92-1 installed from Optware packages.

I'm experiencing a bug (?) with Transmission which is this: every time I run it (using /opt/bin/transmission-daemon command) two torrents which I downloaded months ago (and I don't even have the downloaded files or their downloading directories anymore) appear on my list of active torrents and try to start downloading. Therefore, I have to remove them manually every time. Even if I run the killall transmission-daemon command when I restart the program they come back to the list of torrents and I have to remove them all over again.

I've searched the forums of this site and googled for a solution without any luck. If anybody can help me with this annoying problem I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!

I cannot make the ctorrent to start downloading. It seems that it cannot find peers.
Opening ports 2106-2706 from the router doesn't make any difference.

the transmission is not starting because of missing libraries (so i wil give a chance to ctorrent)…

any tips?

/opt/bin/ipkg install transmission

Now when trying to run it I receive the following error:

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon: error while loading shared libraries: libevent-2.0.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What else do I need to do?

Could anyone help?

Can anyone provide a step-by-step procedure to get rTorrent running properly? I read somewhere that apt-get install rtorrent would be enough, but the command doesn't even work for me. Also, is there a good WebUI to use with rTorrent? Thanks.

The new version 2.32 is out, which fixes these issues hopefully.

http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/nslu2/cross/stable/transmission_2.32-1_armeb.ipk

Any ideas on how to update to this version? I had previously installed transmission 2.31 via feature packs
