Transmission stops downloading after 4 MB
Hi I have a question relating my readynas 102 regarding transmission. I hope this is the right place for it.
First i used xraid2 with one disk. I installed transmission then on the one disk and transmission worked fine.
A couple of days later i switched to flex-raid and added another disk. Now i have 2 disk in the nas with 2 separate volumes in JOBD mode.
Now transmission doesn't work correctly anymore. I can access transmission, i can add torrent files and they start downloading. However, everytime the torrent reached the 4MB point the download fail. It says no such directory. I have tried changing the download path in the settings to accomodate the change. I can also see a folder and a file being created in this folder. So I assume the folder settings are set correctly.
I have tried setting it to several different folders, i have uninstalled and installed the service several times, i have tried different torrents to see if it was a torrent error. I have also tried to set transmission to download to an externa fat 32 disk to be able to determine if it's a folder permission issue(fat32 apparantly doesn't have a permission structure). All without succes, i don't really know what to do anymore. Any suggestions?

- Thanks for the help guys! I fixed it myself. As it turns out there are many settings not available from the webinterface. You have to access the settings.json file where you can change all kind of settings. As it turns out Transmission saves it partial downloads in a different folder than the finished download. This is a different folder and is not changable through the webinterface. How strange is that!! Now i've change the partial download folder to a correct one the files download correctly.
Didn't any of you guys know this?!
