1. 前言：
原来都是在Centos上装Transmission挂PT的，这两天在折腾我的VPS，分别试着在Centos和Debian上安装了rtorrent+rutorrent，结果发现rtorrent和transmission相比，并不是很稳定，经常崩溃，虽然可以写脚本定时检查重启，但每次重启都会重新hash文件，问题多多，所以个人以为还是transmission比较合适个人安装使用，之所以rtorrent很多seedbox在用，主要是它比较容易支持多用户，适合多人共享。最终决定还是装回transmission，因为reload的OS是debian，所以也不准备换成centos，于是就有了这篇教程。
2.升级系统
我这里reload的是debian-5.0x86的，不同的版本有可能出现的错误不一样，有问题可以跟贴问，为了方便，我这里都是用root登录安装的
首先升级系统：apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
复制代码结果第一条命令就有错误：GPG error: http://ftp.de.debian.org lenny/updates Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AED4B06F473041FA
复制代码你不能忽略这这个，不然下面安装必要库文件的时候会有些库装不上，要解决这个错误，输入下面命令apt-get install debian-archive-keyring
复制代码然后重新输入上面两条命令，这次就没有错误了，你需要等几分钟等这个过程结束，这取决于你的VPS
3.安装Transmission
先安装必要的库文件这个可以在transmission的网站找到，所以很简单，直接输入apt-get install build-essential automake make autoconf libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev intltool libxml2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnotify-dev libglib2.0-dev libevent-dev
复制代码下载transmission，我这里下的是2.13，并不是最新版，因为最新的版本不在我常去PT的允许客户端列表里，你安装的时候也可以看看你所混的PT的FAQ，然后下载合适的版本，不然被Ban了不要怪我wget http://download.m0k.org/transmission/files/transmission-2.13.tar.bz2
tar xvjf transmission-2.13.tar.bz2
cd transmission-2.13
./configure
复制代码在./configure那一步出现错误：configure: error: libevent 1.4.9 or higher not found!
复制代码因此下载安装所需要的libevent版本：wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libe/libevent/libevent-1.4-2_1.4.13-stable-1_i386.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libe/libevent/libevent-core-1.4-2_1.4.13-stable-1_i386.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libe/libevent/libevent-extra-1.4-2_1.4.13-stable-1_i386.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libe/libevent/libevent-dev_1.4.13-stable-1_i386.deb
dpkg -i *.deb
复制代码然后继续./configure
make
make install
复制代码
4.安装Transmission的启动，停止脚本
脚本在transmission网站有现成的，为了方便起见，我还是把它放在这里

start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --retry=0/30/KILL/5 --exec $DAEMON

# Many daemons don't delete their pidfiles when they exit.
rm -f $PIDFILE
return "$RETVAL"
}
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting $DESC" "$NAME..."
do_start
case "$?" in
0|1) echo " Starting $DESC $NAME succeeded" ;;

esac

do_stop
case "$?" in
0|1)
do_start
case "$?" in
0|1) echo " Restarting $DESC $NAME succeeded" ;;

esac
;;

echo " Restarting $DESC $NAME failed: couldn't stop $NAME" ;;
esac

*)
echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 3
;;
esac
复制代码这个脚本文件需要作为transmission-daemon放在/etc/init.d/下面,输入以下命令：
vi /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
复制代码按i，然后把上面这个脚本粘帖进去，按ESC，然后按冒号：，输入wq,按回车，文件就建立好了
接下来更改文件的权限并使它在启动的时候可以自动执行：
chmod +x /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
chown root:root /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
update-rc.d transmission-daemon defaults
复制代码下来新建一个用户运行transmission，这里用的用户名是transmission，当然你也可以用其他的，不过记得要更改脚本了的USERNAME与之对应
useradd -mr transmission
chmod g+rwx /home/transmission/
复制代码
建立transmission的下载目录并设定权限：
mkdir -p /home/transmission/Downloads/
chown -R transmission.transmission /home/transmission/Downloads/
chmod g+w /home/transmission/Downloads/
复制代码接下来就可以启动transmission了：
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start
复制代码
transmission启动后就自动会在/home/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon下生成settings.json文件，不过在你更改设置之前必须先停止transmission：
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
复制代码这样你就可以开始更改设置了:
vi /home/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
复制代码按i以后就可以开始编辑了，至于参数什么意思请参考transmission的网站，改完后按ESC, 按冒号：，输入wq回车存盘
为了方便你在家里的电脑上用Transmission Remote GUI的连上去管理,下面的设置你必须更改：
"rpc-whitelist-enabled": false - 默认是true，要改为false
“rpc-password": "密码",
"rpc-username": "用户名",
上面的密码和用户名你可以自己指定
复制代码
从新启动transmission，新的设置就会生效：
/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start
复制代码现在你可以下载并安装Transmission Remote GUI，在GUI的options输入VPS的IP地址，rpc的端口（默认是9091，你可以在settings.json中改成其他的），你的用户名和密码，就可以连到你VPS上的transmission了
Transmission Remote GUI的下载地址：
http://transmisson-remote-gui.googlecode.com/files/transgui-2.2-setup.exe
复制代码另外如果你用Android的手机，可以在菜市场搜索安装Transdroid，它可以很方便的在手机上管理transmission，也可以在手机上下载torrent，通过它传到vps的transmission里进行下载，非常方便
至此transmission在debian的安装就告一段落了，下来有时间我会写一下如何通过rss和irc自动下载torrent并传给transmission进行下载
原来都是在Centos上装Transmission挂PT的，这两天在折腾我的VPS，分别试着在Centos和Debian上安装了rtorrent+rutorrent，结果发现rtorrent和transmission相比，并不是很稳定，经常崩溃，虽然可以写脚本定时检查重启，但每次重启都会重新hash文件，问题多多，所以个人以为还是transmission比较合适个人安装使用，之所以rtorrent很多seedbox在用，主要是它比较容易支持多用户，适合多人共享。最终决定还是装回transmission，因为reload的OS是debian，所以也不准备换成centos，于是就有了这篇教程。
