Description

I recently set up a headless transmission bittorrent client and found the following error in the /var/log/messages file:

UDP failed to set receive buffer: No buffer space available (tr-udp.c:58)
UDP failed to set receive buffer: requested 4194304, got 42080 (tr-udp.c77)

As it turns out, the UDP buffer for FreeBSD is set to a lower value than required by Transmission. To fix this, set a sysctl to increase the UDP buffer size.

  • Edit the sysctl config file:
    vi /etc/sysctl.conf
    • And add the following to the bottom of the file:
      kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=5242880
net.inet.udp.recvspace=4194304
