Hi
I've just set up a freenas pc (running from USB flash drive), stuffed it full of of HDD's, ZRaid and simple permissions for use on my windows network. Of course, I wanted more. I wanted plugins.
Unix(ish?) is new to me, so I am reliant on any information I can glean from the internets. I am having fun learning how to navigate the shell / terminal. When I grew up, we ran Doom from DOS, but I've never had the chance to mess with anything like this.
Following guides, I have installed Transmission 2.82 on Freenas 9.1.1 x64 with the hopes of getting some torrenting going. But i've encountered some problems.
1. The 'Watch' function does not seem to work at all.
2. I found transmission forgetting files it was downloading sometimes! (though this seems to have stopped on it's own somehow).
3. Files I have completed downloading do not appear to exist.
4. Settings.json (Jason?) seems to reset itself at random.
I am downloading files to a dataset, outside of the jail dataset. My research leads me to believe that this could be some sort of permission thing. Using every granule of cunning I possess, I set "Umask" 0 in Settings.json. I believe the number refers to file permissions in some way. But this does not seem to have helped.
Also, if it is indeed a permission thing, then I may need to find out the 'user' for the plugin, or else make one. But I have no idea how to go about this.
The 'Storage' option associated with the Transmission jail also baffles me, as you can apparently make the necessary settings from the Transmission webgui. When I adjust the storage settings, I get error messages in the gui. Files state "No data found!"
Also, I have set transmission so that it is scheduled to download only at night, with the counter-intuitive turtle icon alternative speed limits function. At 0 kB/s, is Transmission not eating bandwidth searching for peers still?
I can see that this thread might be better served on an actual Transmission forum! But thought I'd dump it on here anyway as I'm sure the problem lies in general plugin configuration that is eluding me.
Apologies for being such a humongous noob. Please point me the right direction as I am out of ideas. Any help or advice would be amazing.
