I love transmission-daemon

net-p2p/transmission-daemon is the best torrent client for FreeBSD
before that i used to like rtorrent, but i had huge lags when downloading at high speed

transmission-daemon is different story, i have 62 active torrents... and downloading at high speed, no problems.

i wanted to share my experience in case anyone of you have problems with rtorrent.

also transmission daemon is easy to use
+ i like web interface www/transmission-web

I think transmission-daemon is a true unix app

When you installed transmission-daemon (assuming on a server), did you had to set up lfttp? Just curious because mine is using just the client and running pretty good? I installed it successfully and just want to know if I'm missing any other configs. Mainly a http client. Thanks! Also, do you care to share your settings that you use to optimize your performance?

AFAIK, the RPC facility does not support SSL.

WTF... I need to pay attention to what I write....that's a very bad habit of mine. I'm sorry the program is called lighttpd. I was typing lftp because, I was using it at the moment. Apologize for the typo.

No, you don't need to install lighttpd.

Thanks and after some heavy Scroggle. I see that it's not possible. Appreciate your help and patience. By the way what settings did you use "if you did", to have good performance?
 
Can you set up both transmission-daemon and ctorrent for use with magnet links? Is it possible to just click the magnet link in firefox to get them started?
 
Transmission will handle magnet links. I simply copy the magnet link and paste into transmission web GUI. No automatic handling of links, but that would be nice. For downloading FreeBSD via torrent, of course. :stud
 
Yeah in the web gui it works adding magnet links as URL but not in the transmission-gtk program itself - that just results in program dies
 
When transmission starts up, I get:

Code: 
transmission-daemon[94900]: UDP Failed to set receive buffer: No buffer space available (tr-udp.c:56)
transmission-daemon[94900]: UDP Failed to set receive buffer: requested 4194304, got 42080 (tr-udp.c:75)

Are there some tuneables I can set, or should I just ignore this message?
 
I may be wrong but I think these are related to the uTP. You may disable it from within the WebUI (Preferences > Network) or change its settings in your ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json file.

Alternatively you should be able to increase some sysctl-tunable buffers: kern.ipc.maxsockbuf, net.inet.udp.maxdgram and net.inet.udp.recvspace I believe. The one reported in the error message is net.inet.udp.recvspace.
 
You can try at your own risk to patch your portsdir. Fetch these patches and run patch().
Or apply these changes manually. ;)

Code: 
cd /usr/ports
# fetch https://redports.org/export/2745/Nukama/Attic/patches/net-p2p-transmission-2.50.patch
# fetch https://redports.org/export/2745/Nukama/Attic/patches/net-p2p-transmission-cli-2.50.patch
# fetch https://redports.org/export/2745/Nukama/Attic/patches/net-p2p-transmission-gtk2-2.50.patch
# fetch https://redports.org/export/2745/Nukama/Attic/patches/www-transmission-web-2.50.patch
# fetch https://redports.org/export/2745/Nukama/Attic/patches/net-p2p-transmission-remote-gui-3.2.patch
# patch < net-p2p-transmission-2.50.patch
# patch < net-p2p-transmission-cli-2.50.patch
# patch < net-p2p-transmission-gtk2-2.50.patch
# patch < www-transmission-web-2.50.patch
# patch < net-p2p-transmission-remote-gui-3.2.patch

And if you want to restore a working copy of portstree:
# portsnap fetch extract
 
Just wanted to share a quick tip with anyone using both Transmission and Opera and wanting to have a handle for magnet links.

In Tools > Preferences > Programs, add a protocol called "magnet", switch to Open with other application and make that
Code: 
/usr/local/bin/transmission-remote --add

Now when you click a magnet link it automatically adds it to Transmission.
 
A heads-up to Transmission users:

I ran into a problem today where I could not select and deselect individual files from a transfer. I downgraded to 2.71 and it works fine now. I use the built-in web service.
