    cfp p2p - 2015-04-10

    With the 2015-04-01 releases came several new settings
    pertaining to webseeds. These settings can be changed
    within the settings.json file.

    Note that none of these specific settings are
    described on the official transmission web site.
    The advanced webseed algorithm used
    in the releases here has fixed most,
    if not all, of the bugs posted on the bug trac system
    of the official transmission website.
    Official ticket https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/5923
    summarizes many of the problems, and offers fixes,
    however this release uses at times a quite different,
    but very well tested, approach to solve the problems
    presented there.

    Below are the webseed specific settings for settings.json

    "blocklist-webseeds": false,
    default is false
    Set to true to filter the webseeds based on the loaded
    blocklist(s)/whitelist(s).
    note: "blocklist-enabled": true, must be true additionally
    for webseed blocklisting to be active.

    "drop-interrupted-webseeds": true,
    default is true
    Setting to false will use an alternative algorithm.
    Use false if you experience any problems with
    webseeds when the setting is set to true.

    "webseed-max-connect-fails": 5,
    default is 5 tries
    How many times to try to connect to each
    particular webseed before we quit trying forever.
    Setting to zero means to try indefinitely.

    "webseed-timeout-seconds": 20,
    default is 20 seconds
    How long in seconds to wait for a webseed
    to connect before issuing a timeout connect fail.
    Minimum timeout is 5 seconds.

    "webseeders-maximum": 4
    default is 4
    Allowed maximum of webseed servers per torrent.
    Set to zero to disallow webseeds entirely.

    Like any of the other settings made directly from settings.json, the daemon client should be closed before making changes, otherwise settings will be
    reverted to it's previous state.

    cfp p2p - 2015-05-06

    With the 2015-05-06 release you can now
    use the shift Admin
    or shift Trackers and Que portion of the web client.
    http://sourceforge.net/p/transmissiondaemon/discussion/general/thread/b4eea1a5/
    In the Session window you will see all available
    settings that can be changed. You don't need to stop
    the daemon for the settings to take effect.
    Or, you can stop the daemon, then edit
    settings.json directly.
