Help & Support

When I have Transmission or BTSync download to a specific folder on my C: drive, I get the following Error. Even happens when manually syncing dronefactory folder. It pops up and disappears completed without actually getting anything.

Task Error: Unable to connect to the remote server

Sonarr can’t connect to transmission.

Is that the port transmission is running on? If not you may have a virus that is injecting a proxy into your system and causing issues, there are a few threads on these forums about it with some suggestions on what tobtrh to remove it.

Well, somehow transmission resorted to default setting while keeping the seeds. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I guess now I have to research how Transmission reset itself so it don’t happen again. Again, thanks.
