Preparation
Storage
Storage space for downloading (Torrents & such) should be done on a dedicated drive.
I tend to do most of my storage via NFS served up by my dedicated storage server.
Create a DONE & a WIP folder on the storage drive. This will make it easier to keep things organised.
sudo mkdir /mnt/Download_Spacesudo vi /etc/fstab
StorageServer:/Download_Space /mnt/Download_Space nfs rw,user,exec 0 0
sudo mkdir /mnt/Download_Space/DONEsudo mkdir /mnt/Download_Space/WIP
Useful things
Configure your download server to use a good VPN.
Install Transmission-daemon
sudo apt install transmission-daemon
Configure Transmission-daemon
Note: Any time you edit settings.json, You need to stop transmission-daemon first or it'll overwrite your changes.
sudo service transmission-daemon stopsudo vi /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
Stuff goes here...
sudo service transmission-daemon start
Take a look at what passes for documentation for further pointers.
Notes
Folder permissions are VERY important...
sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt
Seems to work... But it's FUGLY
Some Links
