Transmission-cli can not verify downloaded dates

1ndeed · 2018-09-28 11:20:10

I recently joined pt download . I downloaded a movie by using Transmission for mac on my macbook , the movie was funny . And i enjoy the downloading and seeding experience . So l installed transmission-cli 2.94 (d8e60ee44f) on my archlinux PC . (This is not transmission-gtk !!! );
Switching to my pc means that if i want to keep seeding , i have to copy the date to the new pc , and verify the local date . This step went completely find with transmission-gtk , but transmission-daemon of cli .
After config , I moved the movie i just downloaded to the specific directory , and add the torrent like this:

$ mv /Away/Transmission-icp/babala.mp4 /Away/Transmission/
$ transmission-remote -a /x-torrents/babala.torrent
localhost:9091/transmission/rpc/ responded: "success"
$ transmission-remote -l
ID     Done       Have  ETA           Up    Down  Ratio  Status       Name
 3       0%       None  Unknown      0.0     0.0   None  Stopped      babala.mp4
Sum:              None               0.0     0.0

And VERIFY:

$ transmission-remote -t3 -v
localhost:9091/transmission/rpc/ responded: "success"
$ transmission-remote -l
ID     Done       Have  ETA           Up    Down  Ratio  Status       Name
 3       0%       None  Unknown      0.0     0.0   None  Stopped      babala.mp4
Sum:              None               0.0     0.0

Nothing happened !!!
Alright maybe i just need to start the torrent and verify it again :

$ transmission-remote -t3 -s
localhost:9091/transmission/rpc/ responded: "success"
$ transmission-remote -l
ID     Done       Have  ETA           Up    Down  Ratio  Status       Name
 3       0%       None  Unknown      0.0     0.0   None  Idle         babala.mp4
Sum:              None               0.0     0.0
$ transmission-remote -t3 -v
localhost:9091/transmission/rpc/ responded: "success"
$ transmission-remote -l
ID     Done       Have  ETA           Up    Down  Ratio  Status       Name
 3*      0%       None  Unknown      0.0     0.0    0.0  Idle         babala.mp4
Sum:              None               0.0     0.0

Things went wrong :

$ transmission-remote -t3 -i

File exists ??? Shouldn't you verify it ??? And if I use transmission-remote to add the same torrent , and use the same movie date on transmission-gtk 2.94 (d8e60ee44f) . It will verify it automatically verified !!! That is what thing should be . But I don't want to execute Desktop Environment because I use ssh on my mac . By the way web interface is the same situation .

What should I do ?

Transmission-daemon uses a different folder to store settings then transmission-gtk & transmission-qt .
Transmission-remote can connect to either .

for transmission-daemon look in ~/.config/transmission-daemon , for gtk and qt versions look in ~/.config/transmission folders .

When I migrated from transmission-qt to transmission-cli, i just copied the contents of ~/.config/transmission to ~/.config/transmission-daemon .
(make sure neither is running when you do this).
All my torrents continued downloading and seeding fine.

edit not a solution , but a possible workaround

Yes !!! You're right about systemctl . If I use this rather than systemctl , it will virify date automatically :

$ transmission-daemon

Thank you very much .

But how to let transmission-daemon launch when system is started without systemctl ?

Transmission daemon can be run in 2 ways :

- systemwide as a specific user with (usually) limited rights.
this is managed by systemd through transmission.service

- as a normal user (on demand, every user that starts the daemon gets it own transmission-daemon process )
run transmission-daemon to start
to stop : run "killall transmission-daemon" or "transmission-remote --exit"

Archwiki page on transmission has more details.
