BUT...this is still archaic. It needs to be within the interface. People don't want to hack and create files, they want a convenient way to do something within the app. When an end user has to add things on their own to make an app function like it should in the first damn place, then that's needing to "hack" to give it a function the dev didn't or couldn't give it. Didn't ever see Steve Jobs put out an app and then tell people "Oh to do this you need to go and do this on your own." If a function made sense, it was built into the app.

Individual peer IP addresses can easily be added to a blocklist used by Transmission. Bandwidth is determined by ISPs and is shared amongst all active torrents in a manner mandated by the Bittorrent Protocol.

Regarding your specific desire to block individual peers you can do the following:
"Just add the IP address to a blank TextEdit file in the following format: Name:x.x.x.x-x.x.x.x, save it and name it something like "MyBlocklist.txt", and put the file in your "~/Application Support/Transmission/blocklists" folder and restart Transmission.

But there is an essential feature missing!
or at least it needs a serious modification.
I'm talking about the "memory caching" feature, it uses the HDD very frequently when downloading something with a fast internet conn. downloading with 2.3MB/s the HDD is constantly used affecting the performance of the whole system.
uTorrent doesn't behave like that on the same machine and internet conn. so I'm using it at the moment.

Oh really? Do you come here just to dis other people or to be helpful? I rate apps on how they work...seems you like to come and insult people. Why don't you let the rest of the world in on your great secrets of "understanding apps" before you just come and dis. I don't see your review as helpful at all, I see it as a personal insult. I have posted about this app having inabilities before, and not even the DEV has been willing to say anything about how to individually add peers to a blocklist. So out with it Mr. Smarty Pants...share with the rest of the world and stop being mean.

Has my ISP done something to block it?
Other BitTorrent clients seem to be working fine, no stalls.

Transmission fan speaking!!!
I'm using version 2.33 and had no problem until a few hours ago: Transmission isn't able to download any file...
It starts as usual but after a few Ko or Mo it stops and says "...No such file directory" etc...
I haven't changed anything to my files nor the app itself.
Does anyone have an idea about this?
Thanks

"Transmission: This process is attempting to exclude an item from Time Machine without administrator privileges"
I am running from an account with administrator privileges, so it looks like an odd error . . .

I've downloaded almost half of a huge torrent. Lots of peers with almost nothing downloaded, and a few seeders.
If I wish I can download at a horrendous rate from seeders and kill my ratio quick because little goes out, but instead I make my upload maximum huge and my download tiny in order to maintain ratio.
Yet Transmission won't upload to more than one or two leechers. Mouseover shows two main situations. They're interested but transmission won't upload to them, or transmission will upload but they aren't interested.
If I've got half of the data, they have little, and my upload rate is huge, why won't Transmission upload to them?

Just doubleclick the file and build Transmission like you're used to...
BTW: THE best torrent cliënt EVER for the Mac (& other platforms I suppose when it's well build). I've tried them all and Transmission is just the best! Can't say exactly how long I'm using it as my default torrent cliënt but it's long. Very long! Many many years...
Many thanks to all the developers!!! Great job, very good and clean code and so many platforms supported!!!

On Mac OSX
Transmission has an Xcode project file (Transmission.xcodeproj) for building in Xcode. Make sure you have this software:
Mac OS X 10.6 or newer
Mac OS X 10.6 SDK
Xcode 3.2 or newer
(Found on your OS installation disk, or from the Apple Developer website)
Building the project on Mac requires the source to be retrieved from SVN. Pre-packaged source code will not compile.

Anyway, if you want to get a .dmg of the latest nightly builds, it can be found at https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/trunk-mac/

I'm sure if you know something about compiling this can't be an issue. But I'll try it and check it :).Using Terminal or Xcode or Qt. You can 'make' your own .xcodeproj file via Qt if you don't have the skills to do it in Xcode. If you need the commands, let me know okay...
I also believe that it's sometimes a good thing when people are posting comments, like this one, here on MU. If one can help someone, why not? One have to read the 'What makes a good review or tip?' when posting here... And there are always MU-admins if a comment is not on it's place...
Never the less, posting this issue in the developer forum from Transmission is a good thing!
With kind regards.

What is wrong with you that you need to be so rude? It doesn't make sense to remove a link just because the link's server has an outage. Do you think the rest of the internet handles outages that way?
Please use a grain of common sense, and common courtesy.

Had you taken the trouble to look properly at the posts, you would have seen that its been like that since 17 October 2010, when I tried to download the code from svn as stated on the page as a requirement for an OSX build.
I do not feel I was rude, I used no profanities in my post.
If you are unable to provide a service don't advertise it.

Yes, I read your post back in October and replied to it then too. :)
I've used svn.transmissionbt.com on a nearly daily basis in during the October - December timeframe you're describing. The host has definitely not been down for two months.

First try on svn port 3690, no go, second try on http port 80, success, same ip address.
Can you confirm you are using port 3690 for svn?
I confirm there is no blocking of port 3690 on my router.

If you want to check out the source code yourself from svn, open a terminal window and type:

Regarding port, must be 80? I never opened 3690 and it just downloaded fine.

Upgrading to the latest from the official non apple site and ensuring its in your path allows the download.
I am not sure at what version this happened, but request that you put on the web site that if you experience problems, to install the latest svn version.
thanks for your assistance
