Hi all! I was trying to have use Tranmission to get some torrents yesterday and it started complaining there was no more disk space to download, while actually there’s around 700Gb of unused space. I was thinking it was something with Transmission and used my desktop client to do so.

Now I was upgradin my Plex Media Server and during the installation, it complained again that there was no space left for install. Anybody experiencing this? Any ideas?

My guess is you’ve got Transmission configured to store downloads in one of the root partitions instead of a datavolume partition.

Not really, it is configured to store on the default /Transmission folder. That is another annoying thing, configuration changes are not persistent. Not sure if I am using the best version, using 1.05, the one that is available to install from the admin interface. Is there any other version I can install? Or other torrent client?

Well, if the default is EXPLICITLY set to “/Transmission”, then it IS in the root partition, not the datavolume partion.

The root partition is very, very small.

my main problem with the official transmission app is that configuration changes are not persistant. Where can I change the config on the cfg file directly?

Also, I just found out transmission is keeping a copy of every thing that Sonarr is downloading on the /Transmission folder… Sonarr is moving them to their proper folder, the torrents are removed from Transmission, but for some reason Transmission keeps a copy of everything. Man I am beginning to hate this Transmission version.
