Recently I received a massive bill my from my isp, due to the fact that I accidentally seeded for 1 TB on a movie I downloaded using the transmission plugin v 2.82.
The problem as it turns out was that, although I configured the "Global Seed Ratio" to 2 from the transmission web configuration in FreeNas, it was not enabled and nor is there an option to enable it. I assumed that it was enabled by default, but have since discovered it is not.
After setting the property "ratio-limit-enabled" to "true" in the settings.json file located at
/usr/pbi/transmission-amd64/etc/transmission/home, and re-starting transmission the ratio limit seems to be enabled.
This was a very costly mistake. Perhaps the default value for the property "ratio-limit-enabled" should be "true". Either that or the option to enable or disable should be added to the configuration web ui.
