Open transmission ----->
Click Edit ------> preferences -------> Downloading .
You can see Save to location , change it to the path you want.
And if you're using Transmission from the web located at http://localhost:9091
.
Click on the wrench at the bottom-left of the page:
Then set the Download to: field to the desired location. This will be the default location:
.
And in case you have torrent(s) who's location you want to change. Then right-click on any one of the torrent(s) in the list and select Set Location...
and then set the location to wherever you want it
all the existing data belonging to that torrent will be moved to that location.
Open Transmission ----> edit ----> preferences
This opens a new window and then you go to the downloading tab and you can change where transmission downloads to.
Open Edit --- > Preferences then click the Downloading option. There will be you have Location option change your location.
You can change the download-dir
via transmission-remote
command, e.g.
transmission-remote -w ~/Downloads/_Transmission
Note: If you've authentication enabled, add: --auth username:password
, otherwise disable RPC authentication.
To change incomplete directory, run e.g.:
transmission-remote -c "$HOME"/Downloads/_Transmission/_Temp
Or you can edit user's settings in ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
:
$ grep dir ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
"download-dir": "/home/kenorb/Downloads",
"incomplete-dir": "/home/kenorb/Downloads",
"incomplete-dir-enabled": false,
For global settings, see: /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
To dump the current settings, run:
transmission-daemon --dump-settings
To reload service, run:
sudo invoke-rc.d transmission-daemon reload
To restart service (this will override global settings.json
), run:
sudo service transmission-daemon restart
See also:
-
transmission-remote -w ~/Downloads/_Transmission
Will only update the default setting but not the configured directory for existing torrents. (At least for my Transmission 3.0.0 bb6b5a062e)– JotschiJan 31, 2022 at 18:52
