I've tried a number of things from many different posts but I still can't get Automatic to load my files to the correct folder. Transmission will down load my files to "/c/media/BitTorrent" but not the folder specified by Automatic. Any suggestions?
As far as I know there is *no way* that Automatic can tell Transmission where to *store* downloaded files. The only thing Automatic can do is place .torrent files in a folder watched by Transmission. Transmission in turn will pick up the torrent and save the file specified in the torrent to where Transmission's config tells it to. Automatic doesn't modify the torrent in any way. It just downloads them and puts them somewhere. So I really don't see how it could tell Transmission the final location of the download. But maybe I'm totally wrong there.
