=================== Transmission README =================== Transmission is a set of lightweight BitTorrent clients (in GUI, CLI and daemon form). All these incarnations feature a very simple and intuitive interface, on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end. Transmission is intended to download KA Lite content to IIAB, from places like http://pantry.learningequality.org/downloads/ka-lite/0.17/content/ -- and also to seed it, in assistance of others. Once the packages are downloaded, please verify the content before copying it (carefully) to KA Lite content directory: /library/ka-lite/content Caution ------- Usage of Transmission consumes significant Internet data and system resources. Caveat emptor! (That's Latin for "Buyer Beware") Access ------ Login to Transmission's web interface http://box:9091 using administrative account: Username: Admin Password: changeme Alternatively, you can type 'transmission-remote' at the command-line. Configuration ------------- You can configure Transmission using its web interface http://box:9091 You can also edit Transmission settings in '/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json'. Before you start editing the 'settings.json' file, please ensure that transmission-daemon.service is stopped: $ sudo systemctl stop transmission-daemon.service $ sudo nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json Adding torrents --------------- Transmission can facilitate provisioning your IIAB, by adding KA Lite content from places like: http://pantry.learningequality.org/downloads/ka-lite/0.17/content/ You can also download other torrents using Transmission's web interface, or by typing 'transmission-remote' at the command-line. $ transmission-remote -a <path_to_the.torrent> Known Issues ------------ * Default Transmission user/group (See https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/537). Currently you need to set these "transmission_user" and "transmission_group" variables. Check their values in transmission-daemon's systemd unit file: lib/systemd/system/transmission-daemon.service * Random Ports: Currently it is not possible to use random ports in the range 49152-65535. It is difficult to open multiple ports in IIAB's iptables-based firewall. Troubleshooting --------------- Please check if the transmission daemon is running: $ sudo systemctl status transmission-daemon.service Check that Transmission's settings are correct in: /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
