On stock firmware:
# /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission stop
# mkdir /mnt/sda1/transmission
# nano /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
set "download-dir": /mnt/sda1/transmission
change "incomplete-dir-enabled" to false
# /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start
try to download a torrent and see if you find it in /mnt/sda1/transmission folder
If not working, save your files from usb drive
formatt to ext3 with this putty command
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
and start installing from scratch
# /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission stop
# mkdir /mnt/sda1/transmission
# nano /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
set "download-dir": /mnt/sda1/transmission
change "incomplete-dir-enabled" to false
# /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start
try to download a torrent and see if you find it in /mnt/sda1/transmission folder

i got it working, i change the path to tmp/mnt/(mydrivename)/transmission/downloads.
thanx!
by the way, why cant i see download/upload speed on top of every downloads? i can only see the total download/upload speed on top right of the page.

There is another update v2.76 but not yet available for optware.
RT-N56U has something different in his structure maybe.
Have you modified all the paths in settings.json?
Post here your conf.
Try to setup transmision through entware, is better.

yes, its ntfs. i have a 2tb hd. my whole files are in there, cant format it to ext3 can i? i did try to format my 8gb flash drive, but it says it cant determine the volume or something. can u teach me how to make it work? and how do i make transmission work with both the ext3 usb flash and the ntfs hdd?

NTFS will never work fine on linux, save your files to another disk if you want to format and work normally.
Unplug booth drives from router, reboot, plug the 8gb flash drive, unmount from router ui, format with this command
# mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1
If says it cant determine the volume try with /dev/sdb1 or /dev/sdc1

okay.. done that.. formatting successful. so, can i install transmission on the ext3 drive and download torrent files to ntfs directory? will that still give me problems?

Setup transmission on ext3 drive
/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start
/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission stop
Plug in the ntfs disk and see where is mounted with "mount" command
nano /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
and change path to ntfs disk
Set "incomplete-dir-enabled": false
/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start
Press ENTER and PRAY
If is not working this way, nothing else to do with ntfs disk.

so i tried using entware instead. now im facing another problem. i am running stock fw, is there a way to make it start on its own if the router reboots?

Its the router. Wont be able to connect to it after a day or two. Web pages load slower too. I only realized that after using it for a few months, despite regular reboot, then i move back to stock, im rly surprised how fast web pages load and how youtube stream is super quick. Right now im back to download master, =(
I have transmission installed (thanks for this great tutorial) on my RT-N66U running Merlin's (wonderful) version.
However I am facing the following problem.
I've configured transmission to use a USB HDD like so:
"download-dir": "/tmp/mnt/SAMSUNG/transmission",
When starting the router, in the transmission web UI, there is an error message for all existing downloads complaining that the path was not found. If I do a manual "start all" they start just fine.
I am guessing that this happens because the transmission daemon is started before the USB HDD is mounted, hence the download location is not yet available.
Is there a way to work around this? Please advice.
