Problem description:
I’m not a LINUX expert so I spent some time trying to setup a torrent client with my Raspberry Pi. I have already reached it with Transmission Daemon but I have a problem now Sad.

I use an external HDD powered with a Y USB cable (like this: http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/space143/2011-06-07_001706_cable1.gif) connected to a power supply (1A) and to Rpi. And another power supply (1A) to the Rpi.
I connect to Rpi with SSH console because I don't connect it to a TV.

Transmissión torrent software runs correctly. If I do a "df -h" I see the drive mounted in "/media/HDD LABEL + UID folder". But HDD turn off after a time (60 minutes aprox). And I should reconnect the USB HDD to Rpi and login into Transmission Remote to reinitialize the dowloading process.

How to reproduce:
See before.


Thanks a lot!
