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

I installed the Transmission add-on tonight, but ran into a problem.
I had a couple of files downloading in Transmission when I needed to restart my router. It is the sort of thing that has happened before and never caused an issue.
This time, however, after the network came back up and I reconnected to the transmission web interface I noticed the in-progress downloads were not displayed (empty).
I tried to add them again from the torrent files, and while the torrents picked up where they left off (amount of data downloaded) they produced an error stating they were being denied permission to write to the Downloads directory (the file path had two slashes // between the download dorectory and the downloaded file).

I thought I might have to disable/enable Transmission in Frontview. When I tried to load front view I received this error:

At this point I tried to run the stop/start scripts and received the following error when running the stop script as root via SSH:
So I decided the Transmission install must be busted and I reinstalled Transmission, but all the issues persist.
I then tried to remove Transmission using the "remove" button in the Frontview UI, but that (along with the other buttons within the Transmission section of the Frontview UI) does not respond to clicking.
Not sure what to do now. I tried to chmod 777 the whole downloads directory, but that had no effect on the permissions issue.
I could live with Transmission not stopping/starting and Frontview not responding to input, but all torrent downloads being denied permission to download is a bit more of a problem.
Any assistance/ideas are warmly welcome...
Thanks,
