New Transmission add-on thread

I've been confronted to the same permission issue as described by seanmt and phantomwhale.
I've configured Transmission to download in a different share than the default one (/c/p2p/BitTorrent/ rather than /c/Media/BitTorrent), but I kept the default user to nobody:nogroup (so far...).

I couldn't understand how I could have permissions issues as I didn't change the default user and all my directories where following these permissions. Then, I had a look into /addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon/settings.json and I noticed that 2 path were hardcoded to the default download directory:
"incomplete-dir": "/c/Media/BitTorrent/Incomplete"
"watch-dir": "/c/Media/BitTorrent/sources/"

I think the "incomplete-dir" one is the root of the problem as (I guess...) Transmission probably download all the different chunks here until the torrent has completed. So, if the directory is missing or doesn't have the right permissions, Transmission throws a "Permission denied".
So, I've created the "Incomplete" and "sources" directories in my new share (and set the right permissions to nobody:nogroup) and changed the settings.json to point "incomplete-dir" and "watch-dir" to the new locations, and so far, so good, I can download without seeing the "permission denied" error again.

One last word, make sure you stop Transmission before making the changes in settings.json, and just to be sure, remove all your current torrents from the list and re-add them once you've made all the changes and restarted Transmission.

Hope this might help a few of you.
