Transmission is great, but in lenny you get a very, very old version. There is way to get the latest or from backports but I would suggest compiling the latest from trunk. I have compiled the 2 packages needed...
And they are right here:
Older version:
libevent-2.0.16_1-1_armel.deb
transmission_2.42-1_armel.deb
Newer version:
1. transmission_2.77-1_armel.deb
2. libevent_2.0.21-1_armel.deb
3. (not sure it is needed, but here you go) intltool_0.50.2-2_all.deb
A simple dpkg -i *.deb should do the trick. Just follow the settings part for all the install methods below...
Otherwise:
- Install transmission (from backports)
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
# Add those lines: - # Backports repository
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports lenny-backports main - (preferred way) Or download a tar from here
http://download-origin.transmissionbt.com/files/
then untar from your computer and then put it in the Public folder somewhere so as to compile.
Download from here the latest libevent for compile
tar xvjf libevent-file.tar.bz2
cd libevent-2.x
./configure && make && make install
cd ../..
tar xvjf transmission-2.42.tar.bz2
cd transmission-2.42
#install this one here ( it is the backport of libevent)
aptitude install libcurl4-openssl-dev intltool
./configure
#(or if you have compiled the libevent yourself then
./configure --enable-utp --enable-lightweight LIBEVENT_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LIBEVENT_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -levent"
if later on you have a collect2 problem then the libcurl libs are in a different path; just run a whereis libcurl and add to configure the flags (LIBCURL_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LIBCURL_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib")#)
make
make install - nano /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
edit Daemon=/usr/bin/$NAME to /usr/local/bin/$NAME
and edit USER=root - nano /etc/rc.local
add just before exit 0 the "/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start"
aptitude install libcurl3-gnutls libevent-1.4-2
Then download from here (common, cli, daemon)
dpkg -i transmission-common_1.77-1~bpo50+2_all.deb
dpkg -i transmission-daemon_1.77-1~bpo50+2_armel.deb
dpkg -i transmission-cli_1.77-1~bpo50+2_armel.deb
Settings for all the methods
transmission-daemon -f -t -u your_username -v your_password -w /media/Data/Public/torrents
- mkdir /media/Data/Public/torrents/.incomplete; mkdir /media/Data/Public/torrents/torrents;
- You may have to "ps aux" and "kill PID" (whee the PID is the pid of the daemon) the daemon. Make sure the daemon is not running.
- We need this to run transmission...
ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5 /usr/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5 - cp /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json ~/.config/transmission-daemon/
- rm /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json
- ln -s ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json
- nano /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json
- Change to "rpc-whitelist":"127.0.0.1,192.168.*.*"
- SOS: Change to "download-dir": "\/media\/Data\/Public\/downloaded",
- If you want to change the password change it a readable way: "rpc-password": "root", "rpc-username": "root"
- If you want to observe for a folder change
- "watch-dir": "\/media\/Data\/Public\/torrents\/torrents",
- "watch-dir-enabled": true
- SOS: As we don;t have much space, make sure that you add:
- "incomplete-dir": "\/media\/Data\/Public\/torrents\/Incomplete",
- "incomplete-dir-enabled": true
- Change preallocation to 2 so as not to fragment our hdd
- For the rest just check https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles
- /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start or in case you did not compile it yourself then just nano
/etc/rc.local and add the
/usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon -g /root/.config/transmission-daemon/
right before exit 0.
Here is my settings.json:

}
Optionally:
As the web interface of transmission is not so good, I have changed it with Transmission WEB Control.
/usr/local/share/transmission/
tar -cvf oldweb.tar ./web; gzip -9 oldweb.tar; rm -rf web
wget https://transmission-control.googlecode.com/svn/resouces/transmission-control-full.tar.gz
tar -xzf transmission-control-full.tar.gz
If you are satisfied with this one (i.e. transmission), don't proceed any further... The others gave me headaches...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btpd
- Build btpd torrent client
aptitude install build-essential libssl-dev subversion
wget https://github.com/downloads/btpd/btpd/btpd-0.16.tar.gz - Install the webui
aptitude install python-twisted-bin python-twisted-core python-twisted-web
cd ..
svn checkout http://btpd-webui.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ btpd-webui
cd btpd-webui
checkinstall -D python setup.py install
tar -zxf btpd-0.16.tar.gz
cd btpd-0.16
./configure
make
make install
- nano /etc/conf.d/btpd
# owner of btpd process (must be existing)
BTPDUSER="root"
# Extra arguments for btpd
BTPDEXTRARGS="--bw-in 128 --bw-out 10"
username and password are btpd in server.name:12321/login
Now, in order to change to your needs, just
- nano ~/.btpd-webui/config
I have done it like this
## WebUI username
#username = btpd
## WebUI password
#password = btpd
## Base directory for downloaded content
#content_directory = /root/.btpd-webui/content
content_directory = /media/Data/Public/torrent/webuicontent
## Btpd base directory
#btpd_directory = /root/.btpd
btpd_directory=/media/Data/Public/torrents
## WebUI update interval (seconds)
#update_frequency = 2
## HTTP Server port
#port = 12321
You can start anytime the btpd client by issuing this command (change bw-out and max peers to you needs)
btpd --bw-out 200 --max-peers 40 -d /media/Data/Public/torrents
btcli -d /media/Data/Public/torrents list

Alternatively you could try your luck with rtorrent... I couldn't get it to compile with xmlrpc-c in our armel...
- Compile rtorrent dependencies

hi!
ReplyDeleteIt is tough to discover knowledgeable individuals on this matter, but you sound like you know what you’re speaking about!NYC working Thanks . .
Hello! Thanks buddy. Hope it helps.
DeleteI am very happy from my NAS. At first all I wanted to do was to have my Samsung playback the video files from it and over the days I figured it could do a lot more (Linux is always a very powerful Operating system).
Take care!
