can not download transmission package says not trusted content warning then aborts downloading what wrong???
I just tried no issue. If you still can’t wget the deb, download it with your browser instead.
no luck can you paste in a valid link for my browser but how do i get it in later in the wd??
Just paste the url in your browser. Then transfer via smb/ftp/sftp.

Updated the 1st post.
For those who uses the same symbolic links I posted in the 1st post, you might want to do some minor changes. The previous links works ok with SFTP/SSH, but not FTP/FTPS. Below is to ensure the links are valid even in FTPs. Just rerun again and it will replace the previous links.
# If you are using root or not sure, enter below:
ln -sf /shares/Public/Transmission/Downloads ~/;
ln -sf /shares/Public/Transmission/blocklists ~/.config/transmission-daemon;
ln -sf /shares/Public/Transmission/torrents ~/.config/transmission-daemon;
ln -sf /shares/Public/Transmission/resume ~/.config/transmission-daemon;
# Else if you are not using root account and your home resides on /shares/username, enter below:
cd ~/;
ln -sf ../Public/Transmission/Downloads ~/;
ln -sf ../../../Public/Transmission/blocklists ~/.config/transmission-daemon;
ln -sf ../../../Public/Transmission/torrents ~/.config/transmission-daemon;
ln -sf ../../../Public/Transmission/resume ~/.config/transmission-daemon;
Hello, this guide helped me a lot.
But the daemon does not run on reboot. I checked crontab and there are no spaces or anything just:
@reboot /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon
What can be the possible reason?
Thanks
Can you run the daemon after install?
transmission-daemon
Refer to previous page of this thread to check if cron daemon is running.
yes, it is working now, i had a typo.
but i managed to brick it 
im a newbie on this i have downloaded the transmissin program but i cant see any root directory via smb or ftp on the dw
and how do i execute the installer???
now i have got the tranmission deb file in root directory in wd is that ok? but how do i execute it so its install?
When I start downloading torrents, takes them 5 minutes and then write (Error: Unable to save resume file: No such file or directory), what to do?
I changed the folder to download the Public / www, is this a good path (/ DataVolume / shares / Public / www)
Try using the paths as stated from the 1st post.
this haq dont work i byed a ex2 instead works perfectly…
I have the same problem. Installed all by your instruction. But when downloading a torrent file it stops after a while with this error message:
“Error: Unable to save resume file: Permission denied”
My json settings for download-dir and incomplete-dir":
“download-dir”: “/DataVolume/shares/Public/Transmission/Downloads”,
“incomplete-dir”: “/DataVolume/shares/Public/Transmission/”,
“incomplete-dir-enabled”: false,
Seems like rights is ok:
drwxrwxrwx+ 6 root root 4096 Sep 16 23:59 Transmission
Transmission →
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 root root 4096 Sep 16 23:59 Downloads
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 root root 4096 Sep 16 16:32 blocklists
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 root root 4096 Sep 16 18:37 resume
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 root root 4096 Sep 16 16:32 torrents
Could you help me please?
I have never encountered this before, “Error: Unable to save resume file: Permission denied”.
Perhaps you can find some hints in the log?
grep 'transmission' /var/log/daemon.*
Here is my log:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21136277/Transmission%20log.rtf
Could you see what can be wrong?
Thanks.
From your log;
/var/log/daemon.log:Sep 16 17:58:24 WDMyCloud transmission-daemon[22652]: Couldn’t save temporary file “/root/.config/transmission-daemon/resume/…”: No such file or directory (variant.c:1227)
Does the path highlighted above exists? And can you write to this path? Try test below:
touch /root/.config/transmission-daemon/resume/tmp.txt
If you can’t, do below just once:
ln -sf /shares/Public/Transmission/Downloads ~/;
ln -sf /shares/Public/Transmission/blocklists ~/.config/transmission-daemon;
ln -sf /shares/Public/Transmission/torrents ~/.config/transmission-daemon;
ln -sf /shares/Public/Transmission/resume ~/.config/transmission-daemon;
Nazar78 - thank you man, looks like it works now. :smileyvery-happy: And now I completely happy with my WD My cloud. Thank you very much for a good job.
