Hi all,

The unified transmission package got updated to version 1.92.

A few points:

  • Add support for the Intel Atom based DS (DS1010 & DS710+).
  • At installation time, a transmission user will be created. It will be removed along with the package when it get uninstalled. Transmission is run as this user.
  • Watch enabled, looking in /volume1/transmission/incoming
  • Downloading to /volume1/transmission/download
  • Install procedure:
    • Download and install transmission-1.92.spk to your Synology NAS.
    • Create a new share named transmission, give full access (read/write) to the user transmission. Add yourself to access the content.
    • Run transmission.
  • You can access transmission web interface through the Synology Disk Station manager. Or directly through http://<nasname>:9091/. No password is required.
  • You’ll need to configure transmission (limit and Co).
  • The folder download will be created by transmission as soon as it is needed. Usually at the first download.
  • The folder incoming can be created at any time, transmission will check for its creation and its content.
  • The configuration file is /usr/local/transmission/var/settings.json. It is advised to edit it and activate the authentication.
    The default configuration file is (transmission-daemon will add its defaults value at start up):
    {
    "download-dir": "/volume1/transmission/download",
    "rpc-authentication-required": false,
    "rpc-whitelist-enabled": false,
    "watch-dir": "/volume1/transmission/incoming",
    "watch-dir-enabled": true
    }
  • The output of transmission can be seen through the Disk Station manager, just select the running package, Get Info, Log.
  • To run transmission from the command line to see the log in real time, use
    /usr/local/etc/rc.d/transmission.sh console
  • If you have installed my package 1.83 or later, use upgrade, and your torrent shall restart smoothly. Transmission will be stopped before the upgrade.
  • Install issue fixed (var folder missing).
  • Build with transmission 1.92, openssl 0.9.8m and curl 7.20.0, no patch.
