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...

enter image description here

and then set the location to wherever you want it

enter image description here

all the existing data belonging to that torrent will be moved to that 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

  • 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)
