[RT-N66U] Transmission keeps stopping

[AusTempest]

Hi guys,

A few weeks ago i updated my RT-N66U from optware to entware (as optware is no longer updated), via Merlins Github page. I'm also running 3.0.0.4.374.34_2 Merlin build.

Every since i updated the transmission version to 2.82 i had two problems. My downloads folder (mnt/sda1/torrent) lost write privileges, but i fixed that with a "chmod 777 /mnt/sda1/Torrent -R" command. No idea why that happened, but it's all good now.

Also (and more annoying), now every 20 seconds transmission stops itself. EVERY 20 SEC, and i have no idea why.

If i sit there with the SSH window open and run " /opt/etc/init.d/S88transmission start" every 20 sec, it will keep re-starting.

Does anybody know why this is happening, or how to stop it?

Thx
Alex

I don't know if it helps or not, but i was searching through my system logs and found a few things.

I found a lot of "UDP Failed to set receive buffer: requested 4194304" type errors.

I found a fix for that HERE

I also saw a lot of "smb_pwd_check_ntlmv1: incorrect password length" and found a fix HERE

I don't think these are related at all.

And i still can't keep transmission running for more than a minute

I have similar problem (transmission keeps dying but it didn't show problem with file permission). I turned up the log level to 3 and didn't really tell me anything. Did you get yours fix? I'm running Merlin build 3.0.0.4.374.39 and Transmission 2.82
Below is the log from start to dead

i have those error after a reboot on 374.40, but the daemon is running. if i access the web page and restart all torrents, they will work.

Another problem from time to time with transmission when after a reboot the HDD is mounted as sdb or sdc and i dont know why is doing that

I solved the problem with a swap file...but after that it came back...it seems like the new problem is that it wouldn't write more than 2Mb to the swap file...
