I updated today to Transmission 2.95-200810 together with TOS 4.2.12.
Everything went great except that now all my torrents 100+ are gone together with all my settings.
I noticed in the release page: Fixed: Seed file storage directory is changed.
If someone has already noticed this and already know the old/new settings directory and a safe way to move settings I would be gratefull.
My guess all that is needed is to move the old files in the right settings dir.
I will investigate this when I get home later, and if I find a solution will post it anyways.
The Location of Transmission's configuration directory is stated as:
/usr/local/transmission/
Can someone check before updating?

Hi, no need, I managed to fix it myself by issuing the following command while being logged as Admin (root) through SSH:
Transmission needs to be stopped.
cp syntax is:
The -a option is an improved recursive option, that preserve all file attributes, and also preserve symlinks.
The . at end of the source path is a specific cp syntax that allow to copy all files and folders, included hidden ones.
Should I delete /etc/transmission/ folder, the new folder will be the default one?
Code: Select all
cp -a /etc/transmission/. /usr/local/transmission/
cp syntax is:
Code: Select all
cp -a /source/. /dest/
