=== Transmission ===

Transmission is a cross-platform BitTorrent client. Transmission has the features you want from a BitTorrent client: encryption, a web interface, peer exchange, magnet links, DHT, µTP, UPnP and NAT-PMP port forwarding, webseed support, watch directories, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more.

Transmission is available via the epel and geekery repositories. The latest transmission rpm's are only available via the geekery repository. Please only use one of the below procedures.

=== Epel Repository ===
Enable the epel repository

Please see [[Epel]] and then do:

 yum install transmission --enablerepo=epel

{{Note box| it appears that the epel version is very old (transmission-1.34) so the configuration may be different as below, you should install the [[Transmission#yum.27ing_way|geekery version]] of Transmission}}

=== Geekery Repository ===

==== Install Geekery Repository ====
=====for SME Server 8.0===== 
 http://geekery.altervista.org/

 /sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set geekery repository \
  Name 'geekery repository' \
  BaseURL 'http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/$basearch' \

==== Installation ====
=====Manual way=====
in the directory where you want to work

 mkdir transmission
 cd transmission

We need to install all the following files, you have to adjust with your cpu architecture. '''For SME8 you have to use el5 binaries.'''

 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/i386/libevent2-2.0.10-1geekery.i386.rpm
 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/i386/transmission-2.76-1geekery.i386.rpm
 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/i386/transmission-common-2.76-1geekery.i386.rpm
 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/i386/transmission-daemon-2.76-1geekery.i386.rpm
 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/i386/transmission-cli-2.76-1geekery.i386.rpm
or
 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/x86_64/libevent2-2.0.10-1geekery.x86_64.rpm
 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/x86_64/transmission-2.76-1geekery.x86_64.rpm
 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/x86_64/transmission-common-2.76-1geekery.x86_64.rpm
 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/x86_64/transmission-daemon-2.76-1geekery.x86_64.rpm
 wget http://geekery.altervista.org/geekery/el5/x86_64/transmission-cli-2.76-1geekery.x86_64.rpm

the root user can install rpm above

 yum localinstall *

===== yum'ing way =====
Install the [[Transmission#Install_Geekery_Repository |geekery repository]] and then
 yum install --enablerepo=geekery transmission
====== Upgrade Transmission ======

 yum upgrade --enablerepo=geekery transmission

=== Configuration ===

{{note box|we must stop the deamon before every manual modifications of setting.json}}

 /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
 nano /var/lib/transmission/settings.json

==== allow your network ====

allow your network range to connect to the transmission-deamon '''"*" can be used as a wild card'''

 "rpc-whitelist": "'''127.0.0.1,192.168.1.*'''",
 "rpc-whitelist-enabled": '''true''',

you can find a lot of useful option directly in the [https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EditConfigFiles Transmission wiki] but normally some of them are usable in the web utility

==== set a ibay for downloaded files====

* Create an ibay in server manager, with the following typical settings:
 Information bay name - torrent, Description - torrent, Group - Everyone, User access - Write = group, Read = everyone, 
 Public access via web - no access, Execution of dynamic content - no

you have to allow transmission to write in the ibay

 db accounts setprop torrent Group shared UserAccess wr-group-rd-everyone
 signal-event ibay-modify torrent

{{note box| we need to give a second group to the transmission user for allow it to write in the torrent ibay}}

 usermod -a -G shared transmission

and edit the settings.json to give the good path

 "download-dir": "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/torrent/files/",
 "incomplete-dir": "/home/e-smith/files/ibays/torrent/files/",

we can launch the deamon

 /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start

=== Allow port in sme firewall ===

by default the transmission-deamon use the 51413 port for sharing with other computer so we have to authorize it in the sme firewall and after you may need to allow it in the nat configuration of your router if the upnp configuration does'nt work.

 db configuration set transmission-daemon service
 db configuration setprop transmission-daemon TCPPort 51413
 db configuration setprop transmission-daemon status enabled
 db configuration setprop transmission-daemon access public

 signal-event remoteaccess-update
if you want to allow a range of ports you can take a look to this part of  [[DB_Variables_Configuration#IPTables_firewall_.28masq.29| DB documentation ]] and use the TCPPorts command.  Effectively Transmission can use a random port at every boot in a range set in setting.json so you have to adjust the sme firewall and the nat configuration of your router.

{{tip box|After that if you go to the menu "Edit Preferences/network you can verify if the port is "open"}}

=== Runlevel7 ===
if you restart your computer you can experiment that the service is not started because there is no link to rc.7d, so you have to do this command line to allow transmission deamon operate in runlevel 7.

 ln -s /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S99transmission-daemon

=== Play with transmission ===

now you are able to use transmission deamon with this url in the web browser http://your-ip-sme:9091
