Change Hours:Minutes to days:hours:minutes

[Snake98]

If can report on scrapes, from hours:minutes to days:hours:minutes. That will help on big torrents. I believe what transmissioncli returns. Thanks, and what a great program.

Could you be more specific about which part of Transmission you're recommending this change for? There are five separate clients now. Which one doesn't show days:hours:minutes?

I believe it's part of the dameon. I’m using the nslug version(I know you don't support that version) but I believe he is getting the time remaining from transmissiond. He is pulling it from the .status file. If I can be of anymore help let me know

The change appears to need to be made here:

​http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/browser/trunk/sources/transmissiond/transmissiond.c?rev=8975#L385

Their version appears to differ a from the transmission project's, which is kind of a shame, because there are similar features implemented in different ways. At any rate, this formatting ticket is in the nslug code, so you'll need to report this to the nslug people. You might point them to ​http://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser/trunk/daemon/remote.c#L543, which is the utility function we use to format the ETA.

Actually, in the big picture you might want to ask them to submit a patch containing the features their version has but ours doesn't, so that it can get merged here upstream. :)
