Is it possible to change the default download folder for Transmission on NSA325v2? Currently I have to manually set the download folder per each torrent to my Video share, which I would like to be download folder per default. I checked the settings for Transmission but there is no option for download folder...

    I have found a way to achieve this!

    1. In web UI, disable Transmission package
    2. If not enabled, enable Telnet in web UI
    3. Connect to the NAS via telnet. Login as root
    4. Run vi /usr/local/zy-pkgs/config/Transmission/settings.json and edit the setting download-dir to desired folder. I have changed to /i-data/md0/video/ which is the built-in Video share.
    5. In web UI, enable Transmission package. Now all files are placed to desired folder by default :)
    6. Disable telnet.

    I think it is not possible, I did the check also, and as what you did, no option to change default folder in Transmission, moreover, I tried to use hard link to mirror new folder as transmission download folder via telnet, but it always show operation not permitted.
    The only option I think is use NSA325 v2 default download server, and it is possible to change default download place.
