Tranmission download location

Hi all,

I have got my transmission all up and running. However, the program keeps downloading all my torrents to a particular (non-existing) folder that it keeps making. Its a different folder to the settings.json!

}


As you can see, the directories set are : /c/Media/Downloads/Complete (the media folder is in the correct case as I altered the main folder form media to Media). However, transmission keeps setting the folder to : /c/Downloads/Complete.


HELP!

Thanks!

  • I am using transmission gui and i can alter download directory for the individual files while downloading. I can change the download directory to /c/Media/Downloads/Complete individually sucessfully.

    Can anyone help at all?
