apt-get install transmission-daemon
Your server is running nonstop, so why to download torrents from your desktop, when you can conveniently start the download from your web browser using Transmission-daemon running on your server.
service transmission-daemon stop
usermod -a -G users debian-transmission
usermod -d /var/lib/transmission-daemon debian-transmission
chown -R debian-transmission:debian-transmission /etc/transmission-daemon /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info
rm /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json
There has to be link to current /etc/transmission-daemon/setting.json:
ls -l /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json -> /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
If it doesn’t exists, create it:
ln -s /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
These are my custom setting suites my needs.
