Storage
- Storage space for downloading (Torrents & such) should be done on a dedicated drive.
- If setting up on an ESXi-based VM, set up a datastore specifically for this purpose.
- Another option is to mount the storage space via NFS.
Best solution...
Give the VM a fresh new drive of 500GB to 1TB.
Format the drive & set it to a sensible mounting method (Identify by label... mount at boot...)
chmod -R ugo+rwX /mnt
Create "Done" & "WIP" folders on that drive
Share the "Done" folder
Transmission-daemon

sudo apt install transmission-daemon
Configuring 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 stop
sudo vi /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json

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
