Transmission

Transmission is a torrent client that is available on Amahi among other platforms. It has a web based interface, as well as a daemon.

(Note: this will be automatic in the future)

To use Transmission in Amahi create a share torrents in the directory /var/hda/files/torrents. To do this:

• go to the "Shares" tab in setup (http://hda/setup?tab=shares)
• click the "New Share" button
• create a share named torrents

Note: Torrent files added to this share directory are also automatically added to transmission to download. This is done every 5 minutes.

Errors

Maybe you get a "Permission denied" error after installing Transmission in the "torrents"-share. Then you have to navigate to the folder and set the rw permission to users: chmod 777 /var/hda/files/torrents
