Q: There is a typo in the project name "transmisson-remote-gui". It should be "transmission-remote-gui". Was it made for purpose?
A: Unfortunately, the typo was made during creation of the project on Google Code. The only way to fix it is to delete the current project and create a new project. The typo was noticed too late.
Q: Is it possible to run transgui directly from a USB stick?
A: Yes. Just create a folder on your USB stick and copy there the transgui executable file (and, optionally, the lang folder). Then create empty transgui.ini file in that folder. Now you can run the transgui executable directly from the USB stick. All settings will be stored at the stick as well.
Q: Is it possible to run several instances of the program?
A: Yes. By default, transgui stores all it's settings in the user's profile. To run an extra instance of the program, you need to explicitly specify some other folder to store the program's settings. To do that, pass the --home=<home_dir> parameter. Where <home_dir> is some folder where the program's settings of the new instance will be stored.
Q: What mean numbers like 4/28 in the Seeds column?
A: Seeds: 4/28:
- 4 - number of peers, from which we are downloading now (connected seeders).
- 28 - total number of available peers, which have this torrent (available seeders).
Q: What mean numbers like 2/7 in the Peers column?
A: Peers: 2/7:
- 2 - number of peers, which are downloading from us (connected leechers).
- 7 - total number of downloading peers on the tracker (total number of leechers).
Q: What's the meaning of an icon with red arrow (up or down) in the names column?
A: A red icon indicates a error. To find out the error message, look at the "Error" in the General page at the bottom of the main window.
Q: What is path mapping?
A: Path mappings are used to convert a remote path (on a computer where a Transmission daemon is running) to a local path (local computer where Transmission Remote GUI is running). And vice versa. The mappings are used to open remote files and folders. The path mappings are configured in the Connection options on the Paths page.
For example, your torrents are downloaded into the /var/pub/downloads folder by a Transmission daemon running on a NAS. You access the daemon from a Windows PC using Transmission Remote GUI. You have network access to the /var/pub folder on the NAS as network drive K:. In that case you should specify the following path mapping:
/var/pub/downloads=K:\downloads
If you can access the /var/pub folder using a UNC path such as \\nas\pub, then use the following path mapping:
/var/pub/downloads=\\nas\pub\downloads

Can't see where else to put this question.
I have the Transmission daemon installed on my QNAP NAS. What do I put into the Hostname field?

Q: My Tranmssion settings are restored to default settings after a restart of my NAS.
A: Transmission stores its settings in memory and saves them in the config file settings.json only if the daemon is correctly stopped. So there are 2 workarounds: 1) If you change the settings via the web-interface or a remote-GUI -- stop-start Transmission after changing the settings. 2) If you change the settings by editing settings.json be sure to stop Transmission before editing so that the daemon will read the new settings on the next start. Also if you're using a CSI version, then the default download path is set in another file - daemon.sh.

Cannot connect to daemon. Keeps coming back with "connection timeout". I placed the ip address of my Pivos Aios and the default rpc 9091 in the connection option. Must missing out on some other entries I have to put in?

HOW TO MAKE A CONNECTION - EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO WRONG
The connection of concern is between the transmission BitTorrent? program (client) running on an appliance (the ReadyNAS RAID box)and Yuri Sydorov's GUI that is multiplatform (runs on Win, Mac, Linux). All we have to do is fill in a NEW CONNECTION box with the 5 fields.
How much can we get wrong trying to fill this out?
The first thing to get wrong is to fill out the first field -- it will be filled out for you with the text from the remote host field, or else just give it a meaningful name convenient to you.
The port is 51413 for getting torrents in, so that's wrong, because we are trying to exercise the RPCs (Remote Procedure Calls) in the BitTorrent? client so that it will tell us what the heck it is doing as it tries to get any torrents at all. The port for RPCs is 9091, but this is wrong, because it is only the default. Murphy's Law says your BitTorrent? client uses another port number for RPCs. If you can get the client to display its crummy, default GUI, then the address bar of the browser-page-like GUI it creates will reveal the port. Thanks to DHCP reservation in the router, my client-in-the-NASbox runs at 192.168.1.128, and typing 192.168.1.128/admin into any browser address bar and passing the name/password challenge will get me 30 submenu pages under the 9 top-level menus, one of which lets you turn on the Web Interface which appears under the address bar 192.168.1.128:8181/transmission/web/ 8181, not 9091, we're getting somewhere.
Remote host for me is 192.168.1.128. It would be mistake to add the port: 192.168.1.128:8181 because the next field we have to fill in will do so for us. It would be a mistake to overspecify the host as 192.168.1.128:8181/transmission/web/ because we are trying to leave this crummy Web interface behind. All we want is the appliance itself and answers to our own RPCs. Enter 192.168.1.128.
Port is 8181
Enter the default username and pwd, admin, password1. Don't change them until you're done making mistakes here. Then you can go out to 4 files, blocklist.sh, transtart.sh, transtop.sh and settings.json, change only 3 of them by mistake, and get a transmission client which won't start at all. Some say you should make useful changes in daemon.sh while you're at it. The key field is rpc-password, which will be filled in with a long hash string containing the chars d15b1. You enter plain text, and, when transmission fires up, it hashes them for you. Your final mistake will be remembering you left the client on while you did all this; when it turns off, it will write its RAM values onto the files you just changed, erasing your work. If you had turned the client off first, then turning it on again would read the files into RAM. It's always nice to save a good mistake for another day. --jerry jerry-va at speakeasy net

What about Windows 8 (8.1) compatibility? I get "Unable to write INI file" error (or similar), I have to run it in admin mode. But the problem is persist, because of association of .torrent extension and magnet files. Any idea?

A clean Windows 8.1 won't associate magnet links with TRGUI. You can make it work by adding it to the registry manually: http://markvletter.tumblr.com/post/65361243240/opening-magnet-links-on-windows-8-1-with-transmission

To associate magnet links with transgui even on Windows 8.1 just run the transgui setup and enable magnet association during setup. The new 5.0 version will have an option to do the association in the program.
