Configuring Tranmission 2.41
Francesco Fiorio
I'm trying to make Transmission work. I've installed the daemon using
the GUI, then I've edited the /var/lib/transmission/settings.json
file, now it looks like this:
{
"alt-speed-down": 500,
"alt-speed-enabled": false,
"alt-speed-time-begin": 540,

"rpc-username": "-my username-",
"rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1",
"rpc-whitelist-enabled": false,

"upload-slots-per-torrent": 14,
"utp-enabled": true,
"watch-dir": "/mnt/NAS/Public/RW/BT/torrents",
"watch-dir-enabled": true
}
then I've tried to open the web client with http://-NASaddress-:9091
but it doesn't work.
Have I missed or misconfigured something?
thank you

Hi! I'm trying to make Transmission work. I've installed the daemon using the GUI, then I've edited the /var/lib/transmission/settings.json file, now it looks like this:
When users hand-edit configuration files it might make difficult for simple GUIs to parse it.
What I advise you to do is to:
Services->User->Transmission->Configure
Services->User->Transmission->StartNow
Services->User->Transmission->Configure->web page
If that does not work, uninstall Transmission, login the box, run
rm -rf /var/lib/transmission
reinstall Transmission, follow the above steps.
You don't need to reboot!
The need for removal/reinstallation is that a skeleton config file is installed at install time if none exists.
There are many settings that you can fine-tune using Transmission own web page (left bottom of web page), so start that way first.

Another tip: make sure the transmission service is stopped before editing the config.
Then I agree with trying to setup only what you can with the gui. Once you are up and going, you can make manual tweaks later. Remember to always stop the service before editing, or you will lose your changes.
