How can I change the default downloading folder for Transmission?

Question

I would like to change the folder but I don't know where can I configure Tranmission.

Solution 1

Open transmission ----->

Click Edit ------> preferences -------> Downloading .

You can see Save to location , change it to the path you want.

Solution 2

And if you're using Transmission from the web located at http://localhost:9091.

Click on the wrench at the bottom-left of the page:

Then set the Download to: field to the desired location. This will be the default location:

.

And in case you have torrent(s) who's location you want to change. Then right-click on any one of the torrent(s) in the list and select Set Location...

and then set the location to wherever you want it

all the existing data belonging to that torrent will be moved to that location.

Solution 3

Open Transmission ----> edit ----> preferences

This opens a new window and then you go to the downloading tab and you can change where transmission downloads to.

transmission-remote -w ~/Downloads/_Transmission Will only update the default setting but not the configured directory for existing torrents. (At least for my Transmission 3.0.0 bb6b5a062e)
