New Transmission add-on thread
The previous thread was very long time to open a new one and prepare the 2.0 :)

Rebooting the NAS made the Transmission interface visible on port 8181, and also added the "addon-configs" share to the list. Thanks very much.
I had some initial trouble making the settings.json file editable. I'm using AFP rather than CIFS for connections to my ReadyNAS and at first I couldn't get read/write access to that file unless I connected as "guest" using CIFS. But once I disabled Transmission before trying to edit the file (as the FrontView interface plainly says that you need to do) then I was able to connect as my one-and-only user, and the file became editable. Files are owned by user 65534 rather than by my user, but I'm hoping that won't be an issue.
I haven't actually made any config changes yet--I want to confirm that everything works with the default settings before I start changing them--but this is a good start.
It looks like the default settings use the same location as the original BitTorrent client, at least for completed torrents (i.e. folder "BitTorrent" on the "media" share).
I was seeding a number of torrents that I'd like to continue seeding if possible. I've copied them over to the Pro. If I can locate the original .torrent files with which they were downloaded (they must be somewhere on the old NV+, right?), is there a way that I can drop them into place somewhere in the Transmission config and have the Pro continue to seed them?
Now to see if I can actually download a new torrent...
