As always...
Start with:	`sudo apt update` `sudo apt upgrade`

Preparation

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.

Configure your download server to use a good VPN.

Note: Any time you edit settings.json, You need to stop transmission-daemon first or it'll overwrite your changes.

 Stuff goes here...

Take a look at what passes for documentation for further pointers.

Folder permissions are VERY important...

Seems to work... But it's FUGLY
