Using transmission, I noticed that the download progress bar was always at 100% for the entire download. I was also surprised to see the download entry removed from Transmission after the import. I would have expected it to remain and keep seeding for some time. Maybe I didn’t pay attention during the download and it had seeded sufficiently early on. How does NZBDrone detect seeding limits? Is it fixed or read from the client?
I’ll ask @MythJuha to look at that progress bar on transmission. But he’ll surely be interested in the transmission version number.
Drone doesn’t detect seeding limits, it simply watches the status of the torrent on the api.
Transmission 2.84 (14307).
So as soon as it is complete, it removes it? Is there anyway to allow it to seed for some time? I can see that there is an option to hardlink/copy downloaded torrent files which implies that some consideration for leaving the original in place has been made but would be without impact if the DL client can’t keep seeding.
What’s the best way to configure the integration? Is it just a matter of waiting for the implementation to mature or did I miss something in configuration?
Thanks for a great release process regardless. The branch so far has been pretty solid! Your team is tempting me back to .NET to help contribute!
It’s designed to wait till the torrent client reports it finished seeding. I personally verified that on Deluge & uTorrent.
Basically, it will hardlink/copy/import once the download is complete. And it will optionally Remove it once seeding finished.
(Again, i’ll see if I can get a hold of Myth tomorrow. In the meanwhile you might want to switch off Completed Download Handling -> Remove temporarily to disable to Remove function)
Will have a look at the progressbar this evening. Importing,seeding and removing should work just fine. I’ll verify none the less.
@bjeanes: Have you confirmed this behaviour? I tried to replicate it on different versions of Transmission, including the 2.84 but everything seems to be working fine. One ‘issue’ we currently have is if you manually add an episode in Transmission, it will shop up with a progress bar in the nzbdrone client, but it will never be imported. Except for the fact it’s being shown in nzbDrone, this is actually the intended behaviour. Transmission does not support labels and we don’t want it to import stuff by itself, so transmission will only import files it sent to Transmission itself. Other Torrent clients like Deluge and µTorrent do support labels, so there users can ‘tag’ their download inside their torrent client to have it downloaded.
