Great article Brian, really helped me get things straightened out. Especially with regards to setting my networks location while at home and using auto for when away or on another network.

For everyone else having trouble with Transmission use their help forums, there is an incredible amount of info there:

Excellent site – do keep up the good work.

Hi,

Great article!

Im having a problem with making my port “unclosed” I have a static IP adr. and I cant find my router on the portforward page, what should I do to solve this?

Thanks,

hey, absolutely great tutorial. however, i had some trouble getting the closed port light to turn green. Everyone, make sure you have your leopard firewall set to allow all incoming connections after you have done everything in this tutorial, and your port should than be open. I would never have been able to do this without the help of this tutorial, its amazing. thanks a heck of a lot!

I can’t get my port open, i’ve tried everything thats been said on here twice and it still won’t work

To Mr. Cometa,

Thanks for the great tutorial.

I have visited many website and forums, all of which have doubtless had good information on them regarding Transmission, but none that have been able to explain in simple terms how to get the best out of Transmission.

I do have some questions though, if you don’t mind?

1- I am using Firefox as my browser, and for some reason the initial torrent files get “stuck” in the download window of this browser. Usually the initial file goes into the firefox download window, and then you are prompted with an “add” (to add it into Transmission), but sometimes this doesn’t happen.

The initial file stays in the firefox window and never gives me the option to “add” to Transmission.

I am assuming this is to do with the firefox settings/preferences, but I have tried what I believe every possible way of correcting this, without any success.

Any help?

2- In the Connections section could you tell me if increasing or reducing the “global maximum connections” and the “maximum connections for new transfers” effects the download speed at all? And if yes, how should I change this to make downloads quicker?

Many thanks
Simon.
