Believe so, but odd: Transmission is getting "Scrape error: Could not connect to tracker - Today " for everything.

I have a FIOS issue under their tracker so switched DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in FreeNAS network settings.

Does Transmission use those or do I have to do something?

If you drop to the shell in the transmission jail, you will see the DNS servers for that jail in /etc/resolv.conf

If you don't like what you see, you can change it.

Here's mine:
Code:
root@murmur:~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf
search local
nameserver 192.168.1.200
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8

Where you can see I have, on the first line, my personal DNS server that I run, the second line is my router's built-in DNS, and the third line is Google's. You can just have yours say
Code:
search local
nameserver 8.8.8.8

and you should be in business...
