As always...

Start with:

  • sudo apt update
  • sudo apt upgrade

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_Space
  • sudo vi /etc/fstab
StorageServer:/Download_Space /mnt/Download_Space nfs rw,user,exec 0 0

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 stop
  • sudo 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
