Forum:Transmission Bittorrent client

I was able to install the transmission bittorrent client wich is, as far as I know, more up-to-date and feauture rich than ctorrent. I installed the following packages from the openwrt website (http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/brcm-2.4/packages/) : The .ipk files can be extracted with tar, the data.tar.gz file in the .ipk archive holds the necessary files (tar xvf xxx.ipk, tar xvf data.tar.gz).
 * transmission-daemon_1.61-1_mipsel.ipk (/usr/local/bin)
 * transmission-web_1.61-1_mipsel.ipk(/usr/local/share)
 * libcurl_7.19.4-1_mipsel.ipk (/usr/lib)
 * libopenssl_0.9.8k-2_mipsel.ipk (/usr/lib)
 * zlib_1.2.3-5_mipsel.ipk (/usr/lib)
 * libgcc_3.4.6-24_mipsel.ipk (/usr/lib)

I was able to start the transmission daemon and I think it would work. The Problem is that I have a weird error on my iomega screenplay device:

Example: If I want to get the meta info from a torrent file with ctorrent the I get the following message: /tmp # ctorrent -x ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent error, "ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso.torrent" is really a metainfo file??? error, initial meta info failed.

The torrent file is definitly working, I can open it with vi no problem as well.

Something similar happens with the transmission daemon. It somehow gives errors whenever it wants to access a file on the filesystem. Its like a general issue with file access. I installed ctorrent once according to the wiki on this site and once with the iomtools (full reintall) and the problem is always the same. So I cant use any torrent client so far.

Any idea what the cause is?

And anybody else wants to try transmission? I like it a lot more than ctorrent and dctcs...

Thanks for any help!

EDIT: I think I found the problem, it was related to the libraries :-) Hmm, didn't see that it is necessary to change the library path... Now ctorrent works and I assume Transmission will load just fine as well now!

Hi, can you confirm that transmisson works?

If so, it's possible for you to post the complete steps for doing it?

I'm new to linux, but i'm loving it. But if you post the complete steps for doing it, would be very important for biginners like me.

Thanks a lot
