When you install Transmission from your Amahi dashboard, the /var/hda/files/torrents directory will be created.

If you want remote access to your downloaded torrents, or if you want to drop .torrent files in this folder, to have Transmission automatically download them, you'll need to create a torrents share. To do this:

  • Go to the Shares tab in setup, or go directly there: http://hda/setup?tab=shares
  • Click the New Share button
  • Create a share named torrents

Note: Torrent files added to this share directory are also automatically added to Transmission to download. This is done every 5 minutes.
