Thus i recommend to put the torrents on /tmp/harddisk/torrent.

Check the settings.json file and change it to this setting:

"download-dir": "\/tmp\/harddisk\/torrent",

If you would like an alternative location, you can also make a subfolder
in /opt (which is normally the same as /tmp/harddisk).
I gave it a shot to have my torrents in /tmp/harddisk/torrent but everytime I rebooted they disappeared.

Even trying to have the settings.json file in /tmp/harddisk/torrent folder wouldnt work as when I saved to flash it wouldnt save but when I had the put the settings.json file in /tmp/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon and saved to flash it saved.

I then edited the settings.json file and made the directory to save the torrents /tmp/harddisk/torrent but when I rebooted the torrent file and what had downloaded dissappeared. Like it had to be saved to flash (like what ur saving about /mnt, may I have the tmp drive as being the ram and /mnt as being the harddrive?)

whereas having the torrents in /mnt they dont dissapear as I edited the S90trans file to work with the settings.json and to download the torrents to /mnt/Downloads

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -a *.*.*.* -g /tmp/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon -T -w /mnt/Downloads -l 20

Although the problem still being is the .torrent file itself being in /tmp/local/root/.config/transmission-daemon/torrents gets removed when I reboot. How can I change it so the .torrent files dont dissapear or if I can change the directory where the .torent files get saved and loaded up again when transmission starts again?
