I don't know how to troubleshoot Transmission, and I can't recall if I used Firefox to download the iso directly or used the torrent the last time I downloaded Knoppix, but if I used the torrent, it downloaded without issue via ctorrent.
Running ctorrent path/to/torrent/file.torrent will download the torrent's data to the working directory, tie up the active tty/terminal emulator tab with some hard to parse information about the progress, and seed for 72 hours once the download is complete. ctorrent -d /path/to/torrent/file.torrent Will download the data to the working directory, run ctorrent as a deamon, and seed for 72 hours once the download is complete. ctorrent -c /path/to/torrent/file.torrent will do a hash check on the data(which it assumes is in the working directory) and print out the progress of each file and the overall progress(inchunks download out of chunks total and as a percentage). This as no impact on the deamonized instance running in the background. I generally do ctorrent -d on the torrent file in my downloads directory occasionally using ctorrent -c to check progress... I then have a bash script that uses a function to run ctorrent -d with extra options to skip an initial hash check and seed for 1000 hours(because ctorrent, as far as I know, lacks a seed forever option and 1000 hours is long enough I'm unlikely to ever go long enough without rebooting to need to run the script at anytime other than immediately after reboot) on all the torrent files in the working directory, cds to all the directories with torrents in them, and calls that function).
