(Substitute demoniod values for whatever tracker you are using not trying to insult you just trying to be thorough)
I have port forwarding set up to nas box running transmission - port 51413 both TCP and UDP.
I am using a NV+ Unit.
I stopped the transmission addon.
I edited the /c/addons-config/transmission/transmission-daemon/settings.json this is the file it says in the installed add ons to edit. (either use notepad++, do not use notepad it will screw up the settings or shh into the box and use nano or vi to edit)
I found "watch-dir": "/c/media/BitTorrent/sources/" and changed "watch-dir-enabled": 1
Restarted Transmissions
I went to demoniod followed there instructions including putting there text file in the directory I wanted to seed.
I used the https://"my nas ip address/ctransmission/ to create the torrent on my NAS Box
Torrent Name: nemsgifs
Directory or File: /c/media/BitTorrent/gif/
Tracker URL: http://inferno.demonoid.com:3400/announce
Private Torrent: No
Then I clicked - Create Torrent
Finished uploading .torrent file created by transmission to demoniod.
Opened up http://"my nas ip addrerss":8181/transmission/web/ and torrent was there but was listed in the downloading tab. I got the message torrent not there in the tracker announce so I paused it for 3 minutes as instructed by demoniod. Resumed and I was listed in the tracker window of transmission.
To check I went to another box ran bitTorent and downloaded the .torrent file from demoniod and became a leacher.
