![]() It's very disheartening, and my confidence in Transmission is not what it was. the netbook just ran Transmission (it's only task) 24/7 w/o complaint so I got lazy and didn't pause occasionally to make a backup of the whole thing.Ĭan anyone shed some light on this? I accept that more than 500 torrent description files are now gone, along with 53 completed files and hundreds of other files in various percentages of completion. Foolishly, I didn't have a backup of this in-progress torrent data. today I lost hundreds of GB of data, much of it older, esoteric public domain stuff I've been patiently DLing over time and happily seeding to others. Thus far, I haven't (yet) noticed this problem on my Ubuntu desktop PC running Transmission, but my confidence in Transmission is shaken. but as mentioned, there doesn't seem to be much explanation. I did find prior posts describing this problem at these links: Among the now-missing are 53 torrents that were 100% complete, totaling 55GB of data, now apparently sadly lost forever. all happen to have been added recently, though many recently-added ones are among the disappeared. Of more than 500 torrents/directories, only a couple dozen survived the purge. Set Location is useless, as is Verify Local Data, since the directory that contained both the torrent description file and the file data appear to be gone (I've checked the trash and the entire external HD w/no luck finding any of the files, so they've probably been mistakenly deleted by Transmission and now unrecoverable). ![]() To re-download, remove the torrent and re-add it." error. Of course, the listing for each affected torrent in Transmission now displays in red text, and when I look, all I see is the "No data found! Ensure your drives are connected or use 'Set Location. At some point earlier today, inexplicably more than 90% of the directories within the TRANSMISSION_EXTERNAL folder simply vanished. I recently started experiencing the problem where Transmission directories spontaneously disappear (the folder where both the torrent description file and the actual file itself are stored: to stay organized, I put each running torrent in its own folder within a "TRANSMISSION_EXTERNAL" folder (to denote it lives on the external 1TB USB HD). I realize this isn't the latest version of Transmission, but the CPU limits me to a 32-bit non-PAE OS and this is what got installed with it. Thus, this netbook is the one I leave on 24/7 and it routinely hosts a few hundred torrents at a time, including "longshots" some will probably never finish, but once in a while one does. a bigger/faster/hungrier PC doesn't DL/UL torrents any better. This PC was rescued from a recycling bin, an external 1TB USB HD was added and the minimalist CrunchBang Linux distro installed (now BusenLabs Linux: ) and this little netbook has been running Transmission 2.52 (23304) great. My main torrent PC is an ancient Dell Inspirion netbook w/a lowly Pentium M CPU and less than a half GB of RAM. I've been using Transmission on a few different Linux PCs/distros for a couple years and generally love it. I was unable to find a solution, other than removing Transmission completely and re-installing it, which doesn't really explain the problem, or give confidence that it's a meaningful fix. I did search for prior posts about the problem I'm experiencing.
