 ====== BitTorrent client (Transmission) ======
-This feature is included in builds that contain Transmission, an open source BitTorrent client. It allows you to perform downloads/uploads of torrents directly on your router. This means you don't have to leave a LAN device, such as a PC, running just to share Torrent files. To share large files, you will require some form of external storage, such as an external USB hard drive or a CIFS share.

+**Find more peers using:**  This defines the types of Torrent networks in which Transmission will participate, and using which protocols.  \\ It is recommended to be selective with these settings. Some protocols don't function well through a VPN. Others must be disabled when using private peering. You are advised to consult the official [[nas-bittorrent|Transmission]] documentation and perhaps also the generic Torrent protocol documentation.\\

+**Message level:**  This setting defines the lowest level of Transmission messages to be captured in the system logs
+  * None (0) - No Transmission messages will be stored in system logs.
+  * Error (3) - Only error levels and above will be stored in system logs.

Some protocols have issues over VPN, others must be disabled when using private peering. You might want to consult the official Transmission documentation and perhaps also the generic Torrent Protocol documentation.\\
+**Blocklist**:  Transmission comes with a blocking capability built-in. You can define here the IP Blocklist of choice (usually Level 1). These are publicly-maintained lists of "bad" IP addresses, like monitoring servers and robots which undermine privacy.
-{{:pasted:20220222-143953.png}}\\  **Message level**: None(0)/Error(3)/Info(6)/Debug(7) - Defines the highest Transmission loglevel messaged to be captured in the system logs.\\
