Transmission Torrent Client

It would be useful to also find out if there are plans to upgrade the Transmission client. The latest version available is 2.61.

There is now an upgrade package in the repository - v2.73
 
Thank you so much for the upgrade! :) Glad to see the Transmission Client is not being neglected! :) Excellent as work as always from you and the rest of the development team!
 
Looks like the same problem as before is occurring where you cannot save the option to restrict bandwidth at certain times of the day. I have attempted to save the settings and then rebooted the box (I have HDR using the latest firmware Custom firmware version: 2.13
Humax Version: 1.02.29) and latest version of web interface) This did work on the last version of the client. Not sure what settings I need to change or if there is a text file I could edit instead on the box.
 
If you upgrade your web interface package to the latest version then go to the Diagnostics->File Editor screen, then there should be a direct edit link at the bottom for the Transmission settings file. Just make sure it's turned off while you edit it.

I will have a look to see why things aren't being saved though.

I'm not seeing the transmission setup file in the Diagnostics >> File Editor >> Commonly edited files box, only the two 'crons' with 0.10.0-2 installed (and re-booted)
 
I noticed that the transmission blocklist can be setup directly from the Webif now, you go to http://www.iblocklist.com/lists.php (or any blocklist site you like) and select a list like the 'Level 1', and then copy the string into the Webif Blocklist box after 'Enabling blocklist' option, and then press 'update' and wait a few minutes and the file blocklist.bin will be created.

http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz

/mod/etc/transmission/blocklists/blocklist.bin

If you want to change any of the transmission parameters from the Webif, such as the 'Alternative speed limits', you got to change the parameters and then Stop / Start the transmission service using the 'Service Management', this is because transmission ONLY saves its settings file on shutdown (powering down the HDR does not save the settings file).

Hi there, I was wondering whether it was possible to downgrade it to the previous version 2.42. On the new one it's not possible to select/deselect files for downloading.
 
Yes, but you need to use telnet and then use the opkg command explicitly on the URL for the old version.

Code: 
humax# opkg install http://hummypkg.org.uk/hdrfoxt2/base/transmission_2.42_mipsel.opk

Looks like this was quickly fixed (2.74) so I'll package up the latest version again.

You need to manually remove the old version first, so:

Code: 
humax# opkg remove transmission
humax# opkg install http://hummypkg.org.uk/hdrfoxt2/base/transmission_2.42_mipsel.opk

should do it.
