Jun 21 10:52:32 transmission-daemon[1636]: UDP Failed to set receive buffer: requested 4194304, got 1048576 (tr-udp.c:84)

Searched forum and proposed solution:
https://www.snbforums.com/threads/h...-net-core-rmem_max-4194304.21550/#post-341814 blocked RT-AC86-U. Can not access it SSH from remote. Suspecting not enough RAM and boot cycle.
Will I need to do a reset to Fabric state or I can preserve anything of a settings?
What about transmission problem solution?

After a few hours long router power-off, it successfully started and i removed problematic lines in /jffs/scripts/services-start.

Now router works OK, but I do not know, how to solve transmission-daemon receive buffer failure.

Any success anyone on that router?

no one had successfully installed and start Transmission on RT-AC86U?
Can't believe it.

strangely Transmission suddenly started at a router reboot and now runs for three days (idle).
Test DL success with 4MB.
With Optware installed and packages Samba & Transmission running there is only 5% free RAM (also when rebooted).

Optware? Should that be Entware today?

Optware? Should that be Entware today?

Yes my mistake. I've installed the last 64 bit Entware and not Optware.
The name confuse came from package manager named opkg, so op instead en +tware.

transmission constantly crashed after a few seconds. So I removed it and tested QBittorrent - the same situation.

Searched for a solution I accidentally found a solution:

The key word is SWAP. After creating and using a swap file, both RAM hungry apps run excellent. I'll stay with QBittorrent.
After that I recall my Netgear R7500 Entware install. The first after Entware install was creation of a swap file.

Looking for a numerous scattered infos on a Asus router I found "no swap created", and after creation and use there were non zero value at once.
