Recently I encountered a problem downloading torrents, and I'm posting this thread so that it may help someone else.

This video will show you how to start torrenting on your Mac OS using an application called Transmission. Just follow the simple steps and you will be P2P sh. Download Transmission The current release version is. Mac OS X Nightly builds Previous Releases. Source Code Nightly tarballs Previous tarballs How to build. Windows (early preview) Nightly builds. SHA256 Hashes Code Signing Policy Windows MSI packages: free code signing provided by SignPath.io, certificate by SignPath Foundation.

For some reason, all of the newer torrents I had added would start, and then after a few seconds they would automatically pause. Each one said

• Transmission has been built from the ground up to be a powerful, yet lightweight BitTorrent client. Its simple, intuitive interface is designed to integrate tightly with whatever computing.
• Transmission is an open source, volunteer-based project. Unlike some BitTorrent clients, Transmission doesn’t play games with its users to make money. Uses fewer resources than other clients; Native Mac, GTK+ and Qt GUI clients.

Error: Permission Denied. Every time I restarted them, they would pause again.
My first thought was this was a tracker issue, and I needed to be registered with them. However, this was happening with a bunch of torrents, and they were downloaded from sites that I've never had a problem with before. I had 2 torrents that were still functioning just fine. I searched the Torrent site's forums, and then searched the Transmission forums, but there was no answer.
I didn't realize at that time that this was only occurring with the newer torrents.
After a few days, for unrelated reasons, I was messing with the permissions for my external drives. I set them all to ignore ownership on this volume. When I opened Transmission and hit Resume, all the torrents began downloading normally. After thinking about it, I remembered I had changed the permissions a few days before, as I was diagnosing a system issue.

So the entire problem was a simple permissions issue. Transmission was being denied access to to its Download folder on one of my external drives. Only the torrents that had been in progress before I had changed the permissions the first time were working properly.
