if no errors then xbian has rights to write and knowledge won't help you. but someone using the package will, so give it a time.
I got no errors
Is there really nothing I can do? Transmission always download 4.18 MB before the error.

I can't tell the solution from mobile but you have to change user to root. I did it from ssh in terminal. But im not anywhere near my laptop with the right info. Sorry

If you find time, I would be grateful if you could explain it to me or post a link, because I have no idea how to change user to root (I know how to use ssh).

edit file /etc/init.d/transmission and change USERNAME=xbian to USERNAME=root

Hey I'm having a little trouble and I was wondering if anyone could help me out
basically instead of a usb hard drive I'm trying to connect it to my NAS (wd mycloud) and I went into nano /etc/fstab and added this to itTerminal
//192.168.1.xx/myCloud /media/usb cif user=(id of NAS),pass=(password of NAS) 0 0
and when I try moving a file I get
Terminal
xbian@xbian ~ $ mv /home/xbian/downloads /media/usb/
mv: cannot create symbolic link `/media/usb/': No such file or directory
mv: cannot create symbolic link `/media/usb/': No such file or directory
Maybe I'm just doing this completely wrong
RE: [Part 3] Download torrent & newsserver packages - zilexa - 29th Oct, 2013 01:26 AM
I used chmod 777 on the media folders of my usb harddisk, that way Transmission had full access and I did not have to change user to root. Not sure which solution is the best..
RE: [Part 3] Download torrent & newsserver packages - zilexa - 9th Nov, 2013 08:09 PM
Suggestion for the Transmission package: do not create the 3 folders
/home/xbian/downloads
/home/xbian/incomplete
/home/xbian/torrents
They are useless since no one will actually use these folders. Now they will have to create links to their storage. But everyone will also have to dive into settings.json to at least change username/password. So it would make more sense to also set the path to your storage in settings.json while you are changing username/password. Why create links to these folders? I always simply remove them.
RE: [Part 3] Download torrent & newsserver packages - zilexa - 10th Nov, 2013 07:18 AM
Another suggestion for Transmission package. I can not think of a reason why not to include this. Its part of my how-to-follow-tvshows+movies-fully-automated guide. But I think anyone using Transmission will like this part, its just 1 .sh file, chmod +x and 2 settings that need to be modified in settings.json:
TRIGGER XBMC TO AUTO-UPDATE LIBRARY WHEN A NEW DOWNLOAD IS FINISHED.
XBMC will ONLY update the folder containing the finished download file, so no more need for full "Update Library", which can take some time on the Pi.
How? By running a simple script. Transmission can automatically run a script when a torrent is
finished downloading.
1. sudo nano /etc/transmission/xbmc-upd.sh
(The script needs to be in /etc/transmission/ otherwise Transmission cannot run the script)
Now copy this and save it with CTRL+O, exit texteditor with CTRL+X:
Code:
/usr/bin/wget --header='Content-Type:application/json' --post-data='{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Scan", "id": "xbian", "params": {"directory":"'"$TR_TORRENT_DIR"'/"}}' "http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc"2. give the file execution permission: sudo chmod +x /etc/transmission/xbmc-upd.sh
3. add it to the etc/transmission/settings.json file:
"script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/etc/transmission/xbmc-upd.sh",

Remove the xbian package and install the regular transmission-daemon, it's older (2.52).
Terminal
sudo apt-get remove xbian-package-transmission
sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon
