Radiator 5.3.5 - problems with permissions
Hi, i have created "Public" share available for everyone (with anonymous access) to read and write. Also i have enable automatic permission management as see on this picture:

But for some reason i cannot delete TransmissionBT 2.5.2 created folders/files unless i login as one of the users. Do i do something wrong or it's a bug?

- chirpaLuminaryTransmission is creating files outside of those protocol specific settings. You would have to modify the Transmission settings.json file to have it use different permissions, not an issue with 5.3.5 itself.
- AllWinAspirantThank you very much, sorted. In case if someone else is having this issue, open /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json file in text editor, find line
"umask": 18,
and replace 18 with 0. That's it. - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredOn the v2 you should be able to go to the Dashboard click Configure, go to Add-Ons > Installed and select Transmission. You should then seen an option to edit the settings.json within the web-interface.

Yes i can, but for some reason after saving settings Transmission won't start anymore ("service failed to start"). When i try to edit settings.json for second time, i see in it only 10-15 lines of options, instead of 70+. Looks like only part of settings being saved. Although i have no issues with it if i do everything manually. - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredWhat web browser and version are you using?
- AllWinAspirantNormally i use Firefox 12.0 (on Windows), but now i tried to do same on my with Google Chrome 19.0.1084.52 M and same thing happened. This is how it looks after editing and saving it via web interface:
{
"alt-speed-down": 500,
"alt-speed-enabled": false,
"alt-speed-time-begin": 540,
"alt-speed-time-day": 127,
"alt-speed-time-enabled": false,
"alt-speed-time-end": 1020,
"alt-speed-up": 30,
"bind-address-ipv4": "0.0.0.0",
"bind-address-ipv6": "::",
"blocklist-enabled": true,
"blocklist-url": "http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1
EDIT. Looks like i've found what's causing settings.json file corruption. This is the line i enter into settings:
"blocklist-url": "http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz",
Now this is how this line looks after saving settings:
"blocklist-url": "http://list.iblocklist.com/?list=bt_level1
Looks like character "&" isn't supported and saving file breaks at this point? If i leave this line empty i can save settings (via web interface) with no problem..
