What filesystem is recommended for the USB drive ? I read around that performances can vary a lot depending on how the drive is formated. I was thinking of Ext4 ?

ext4 is a really good choice because it is a native Linux filesystem. other filesystem's like NTFS cause a lot of CPU load on the Raspberry Pi and therefore aren't recommended.

Thanks for quick reply. I struggled to make it ext4, in order to copy files from my mac, made it ext2 so far.

you could try the free MacFuse driver to make ext4 drives accesible from within OS X

Have transmission 2.80 form Xbian package, problem is download speed not exceeding 1 MB/s usually go up to max mb then go back to 0. I read somewhere is transmission bug, port is open, settings.json set up, so how i can update transmission to 2.82 or downgrade it or whatever to fix this annoying issue? Sorry for than kind of question but im brand new to Xbian

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

Hi, I got also problems with download speed on transmission 2.80 but can't install 2.52 because few of my trackers allow only stable versions of transmission,
1.92 , 2.03 , 2.04 , 2.13 , 2.22 , 2.33 , 2.42 , 2.82
Is there any other way to get it working with decent speed?

And also having some problems with sickbeard, after couple of minutes after starting, the site crash and I can't access sickbeard, I need to restart sickbeard to get it back for few minutes and then crashes again and again....
Is there any solution?

In the meantime you can edit the file:
/usr/local/share/sickbeard/sickbeard/providers/thepiratebay.py

And change the url on this line:
self.url = 'http://thepiratebay.sx/'

Then restart sickbeard.
Tested and worked for me

[freem@n]

isn't Pirate Bay (and other Public trackers) very insecure these days ?

Transmission 2.80 is giving me some troubles and 2.52 isn't a valid option for me. I was looking around and saw that on the Xbian github repo the transmission package has been updated to 2.82 for a few months now. https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian-package-transmission

How do I go about actually getting Xbian to pull the update from github.
Thanks guys.

@Akodo

if you see it on github, it is already as .deb as well on apt repo.

so you do just "apt-get install xbian-package-transmission"

No bueno. Trying to install/update through Xbian config and the command line both say I have the newest version. I definitely am on Transmission 2.80 and apt-get is updated and what not. Any idea's of what to try next?

EDIT: Yea, apt-cache is reporting that the repo is on 2.80 despite what's on github.

[freem@n]

it might be on the staging oder devel repo instead of the stable. I'll have a look for you later.
If you know the risks and are comfortable with it you can grab the *.deb directly from there and install it manually

Unless I completely stroked out it wasn't in any of the alternate repos. (The devel/staging repos are pretty bare when it comes to additional packages.)

I'm fine with manually installing but creating the .deb from the github source is beyond what I know. Worst case I'll just learn and do it myself.

[freem@n]

you're right. I couldn't find the 2.82 on the stable/devel repo either.
latest version I found was still v2.80 on the stable repo. maybe someone just forgot to put the new version on the repo.
