Sure, there are some troubles with it and it is a suboptimal solution. So there is very little excuse when bittorrent client does not supports it. Look, at these days even IM clients (Pidgin, Kopete, whatever!) does support for example socks 5 proxy and I can divert all connections (even file transfers) via proxy. As for me, dev's should play on users side in such scenario and help to get things working rather than simply ignore users problem (else it sounds like 'we have too many users, go to hell, Luke - we do not care that you can't use our program at all'). VPNs are quite common for BitTorrent? users because some ISPs started to abuse traffic classification techniques to reduce speeds of BitTorrent? or even completely stop it and even encryption not always helps if ISP gone far enough to analyse traffic patterns rather than actual content. I do appreciate your interest in improving Transmission though.

#TRANSMISSION TORRENT CLIENT PROXY PATCH#

Unless someone contributes a fully-tested patch to implement this, this feature doesn't make sense for Transmission right now. Still, walking into trac with a fairly involved and esoteric request, and saying it's now our highest priority, is not how things should be done. Trac is mostly to blame for this it doesn't seem to offer fine-grained control over who can set what ticket attributes.

It's not polite to set priorities and milestones unless you've already talked it over with the development team.

But right now it looks like a lot of work for very little payoff. If VPNs become more common to BitTorrent? users and there's a groundswell of requests for it, I'd be more willing to look into this.

This feature will probably not be used by very many people.

I try to steer clear of complicated networking features like this because they're difficult to write and extremely time-consuming to debug on all platforms.

Transmission tries to be a lean, straightforward BitTorrent? client.

I have a few thoughts about this particular request:

#TRANSMISSION TORRENT CLIENT PROXY PASSWORD#

After next restart the password will be rewritten in SHA1 encrypted format for security reasons.Thanks for taking the time to suggest this feature and to help make Transmission better. The default rpc-username and password is вЂњtransmissionвЂќД¬hange it to whatever you want (any password will work). Make sure the Transmission daemon is not running when changing the config file otherwise your changes will be over written.Д®dit /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json sudo nano /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json Transmission-daemon will start automatically each time you start your server, with the settings defined in /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json This how-to focus on tweaking the default configuration file for use with Ubuntu server. There are many settings which can be configured.

#TRANSMISSION TORRENT CLIENT PROXY INSTALL#

Install transmission sudo apt-get install transmission-cli transmission-common transmission-daemon Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa If you want the latest then add the PPA repository If not, install the transmission package from the Universe repository. Transmission is typically installed by default in Ubuntu.

Because this how-to is designed for Ubuntu server we need to manually allow remote access. Transmission has been configured to work out of the box on a desktop. This How-to focuses on CLI (Command Line Interface) and the Web interface When Ubuntu chose Transmission as its default BitTorrent client, one of the most-cited reasons was its easy learning curve. We've set the defaults to Just Work and it only takes a few clicks to configure advanced features like watch directories, bad peer blocklists, and the web interface. Transmission is designed for easy, powerful use.

#TRANSMISSION TORRENT CLIENT PROXY DOWNLOAD#

Rather than downloading a file from a single source server, the BitTorrent protocol allows users to join a 'swarm' of hosts to download and upload from each other simultaneously. The BitTorrent protocol can be used to reduce the server and network impact of distributing large files.
