(Note: this will be automatic in the future) * 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''' sharewill be created automatically. To do this:

* Go Torrent files added to the this share directory are also automatically added to Transmission to download. This is done every 5 minutes via '''Shares/etc/cron.d/amahi-torrent-watch''' tab in setup, or go directly there: [http://hdaen.wikipedia.org/setup?tab=shares* Click the '''New Share''' button* Create a share named '''torrents'''wiki/Cron Cron] job.

Note: Torrent files added to this share directory are also automatically added to Transmission to download. This is done every * Change the following portion of the file as desired (*/5 = 5 minutes.):

5. Next, we need to make sure that the cronjob that automatically loads torrents from the torrents share uses the same user authentification.

5. * (Amahi 6) Edit '''/etc/cron.d/amahi-transmission-watch''' and change the following:

6. Edit the following{{Text| */5 * * * * transmission transmission-remote localhost:9091 -a /var/hda/files/torrents/*.torrent && rm -f /var/hda/files/torrents/*.torrent}}

Now navigate to web address and input information and you're all set! = Change Downloaded Files Permissions = By default, transmission sets the file permissions of downloaded files so that only the transmission user can wrie write to the downloaded files and folders. To change this, modify the settings as follows:

2. {{Code|Edit '''/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json''': vim /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json}}

3. Find the line: "'''umask": 18''', and change it to "'''umask": 2'''. This will enable all users in the transmission group to also write to the file.

<u>GUI method:</u> 1. Go to System -> Administration -> Users and Groups<br />2. Enter your root password<br />3. Click on Edit -> Preferences<br />4. Make Sure "Hide System users and groups" is unchecked and close the dialog box<br />5. In the list of Users find "transmission" and double click<br />6. In the Groups tab find "users" and make sure it is checked.<br />7. Close all windows. <u>Terminal method:</u>

1. Go to System Open Terminal<br />2. Type sudo su -3. Enter your password<br /> Administration 4. Type usermod -> Users and GroupsG users transmission5. Close Terminal

3You may run into a problem where even after adding transmission to the users group, that you cannot delete or modify files downloaded from Transmission. Click on Edit -> Preferences If this happens, you can add the user(s) you want to modify the downloaded files by running the follow command as root replacing "admin" with the user you want to add:

5. In Note: You need to stop the transmission-daemon service and watchdog before running the list above command, and a restart of Users find "transmission" the server may be necessary, just remember to restart the service and double clickwatchdog first.

7Transmission installs a cronjob that checks a preset folder every xx minutes for torrent files. Close all windowsIf a torrent-file is present it will automatically start the download for you and delete the torrent file.In some cases you might receive email reports when the folder is empty. You can edit the cronjob to make sure no reports are sent when the cronjob is run. * cronjob can be found at '''/etc/cron.d/amahi-transmission-watch'''
