2LMan Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I just opened Transmission and it prompted me to update. I did, and thought nothing of it. I then went to download something from "The Bay" and I noticed their best new feature yet! We now have the ability to download individual files! This makes it better than uTorrent now!

Headrush69 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hasn't this feature been around for a while? Yes, for some time now. Priorities too. (They were just not obvious without searching.)

2LMan Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 I'm sorry I didn't say it in my earlier post, but this feature has been around awhile, just that it was only available AFTER you started downloading. This comes up once you click to download a torrent! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93176-transmission-update/#findComment-664846 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeye Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hello, I'd like to know how I can change the folder where a downloaded torrent is put in (i don't want to change the default now)? BTW, how can I change the default folder? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93176-transmission-update/#findComment-696106 Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeye Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 thank you! And what about a specific folder for some files? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93176-transmission-update/#findComment-696336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatshitcat Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 [Change...] This dialog should appear when you add a new torrent. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93176-transmission-update/#findComment-696397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeye Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Ok but as I've set up transmission to start download automatically, this window is skipped. So, it's not possible to change the reception folder once the download has begun?

JestaGeek Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I have it set to start transfers when added and I still see the window...Hi MacUser2525, I'm not sure if you're saying that's how you want it or not, but there is a checkbox in the Preferences > Adding pane for "Display Options Window". I have it checked, along with the "Start Transfers When Added" and "Trash Torrent File". I've also set the default download folder. Since the window is shown to confirm adding a torrent, I can change the download folder for individual torrents and/or opt to only download certain files within a torrent before clicking on "Add". To confirm earlier posts... if you look at the "info" for any torrent, there's always (for as long as I've been using it, so since 0.something ???) been an option to de-select/select files. I'd never have migrated from Azureus if that weren't there. So far I'm finding Transmission 1.10 much more stable than 1.06 and earlier, though it took a while for certain sites to accept it.

a8ne Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 transmission is slow. try ktorrent Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93176-transmission-update/#findComment-698785 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JestaGeek Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 transmission is slow. try ktorrent I don't really find it slow at all. What's slow is going through all the steps of installing, configuring and learning another BitTorrent client when the one we're using works just fine, thank you!

a8ne Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Well yeah, if you can't figure out how to copy and paste a few lines into a terminal then you can always just drag an inferior program into your apps folder, bury your head in the sand and pretend like it's better because "it just works". But it isn't better. KTorrent is noticeably faster than Transmission and it use less system resources.

But it isn't better. KTorrent is noticeably faster than Transmission and it use less system resources. Well my experience using Ktorrent since the 1.?? something days compiling it myself on my Debian install begs to differ. While it is one of the better Linux torrent programs Transmision is faster, now I have not used the Ktorrent in the last 2 months or so since I began using OS X as my OS perhaps it has gotten better at finding more peers and giving a better download ratio. Using Transmission I struggle to have a greater than one leach to seed ratio using Ktorrent I could always be assured of at least a 3 or 4 to 1 leach to seed before the torrent was finished. At the end of my Linux using days I had resorted to using uTorrent in Virtualbox and that was a hell of lot faster haven't bothered setting it up in OS X though Transmission is close enough.
