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
