Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / April 2007Transmission (BT) app starts from "zero" after reboot
Start download of large file. After several days, several GBs complete. Power shuts off and comes back on. Computer reboots. I start Transmission again. Download starts over from scratch. I check Preferences and confirm that the destination folder hasn't changed; it says it's downloading to the same place that the previous GBs have. I thought, maybe, that Transmission is simply verifying the already-downloaded files and once that is done would continue where it left off. But left overnight, it seems that it is, indeed, it's downloading all over again. Is there anything I can do to make it recognize the already-downloaded files? Thanks,  SignatureFBt OS X 10.3.9 Transmission 0.6.1 (current) > Start download of large file. After several days, several GBs complete. > Power shuts off and comes back on. Computer reboots.

There are download managers that do this sort of thing for you, however. >> Start download of large file. After several days, several GBs complete. >> Power shuts off and comes back on.

You are talking about some third-party app called "Transmission". Maybe check with the developers of that app? > >> Start download of large file.

And that third-party app presumably uses the BitTorrent protocol -- that's how I interpret "(BT)". So your references to FTP and HTTP are not apropos.

All my Mac using friends are also Transmission users and I have not had this issue mentioned by any of them. Send an email to the developers and see if they can shine some light. Also, FYI, a new version was released today that is light years ahead in terms of feature set and performance. > Send an email to the developers and see if they can shine some light. > Also, FYI, a new version was released today that is light years ahead > in terms of feature set and performance. Having OS X 10.3.9, I'm using the latest version available for 10.3. Support for Transmission for 10.3 has been dropped in deference to 10.4 versions. I presume that my problem is not an issue with current versions of the app, and will use that fact to spur me on to upgrade both OS X and Transmission. Thanks, FBt |
