How to have more than five torrents downloading concurrently with transmission?

Question

I've installed transmission on my Raspbmc distro and it's been working great. The only thing I've noticed is that it can only download five torrents concurrently; anything after that is queued. I've tried running transmission-remote -h and looking through all the possible options, and the closest things I can find to changing this option are --downlimit and --no-downlimit, but those pertain to the speed of the downloads, not the number of downloads. Is there any way to change the limit on the number of torrents download at one time?

Solution

Edit the file ~/.config/transmission/settings.json and update the value of "download-queue-size": 5.

See documentation.

For e.g.:

$ grep 'download-queue' ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json
    "download-queue-enabled": true,
    "download-queue-size": 5,
