Hi All!

As the title says:
Would it be possible to remove a torrent file after it's completed?

I checked that the settings.json is located at /i-data/4ebe74b4/.PKG/Transmission/config/Transmission.
However when I try to access it, the permission is denied and the file shows empty.
After trying "chmod u+rwx" it gives "Operation not permitted".

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Kim

    I think you'll have to stop transmission first, before editing the file.

    @Mijzelf I did via the GUI before attempting to edit it but it didn't work.
    I tried "service transmission-daemon stop" without succes as well via CL...

    Is there any other way that might work?

    In a shell you can execute 'ps' to see all running processes, and look if transmission is running.

    How are you trying to edit the file? What is the output of
    ls -l /i-data/4ebe74b4/.PKG/Transmission/config/Transmission/

    Only root is authorized to edit that file. So you have to login as root.
