Description faminebadger 2016-03-06 21:39:51 UTC
As of a updating to net-p2p/transmission-2.90 (from net-p2p/transmission-2.84-r5), my downloads are ending up in the wrong location.

Experimentation shows that changing the configuration through the web interface doesn't matter, it always resets to /var/lib/transmission/downloads.

It appears the init.d startup script is forcing it, which overwrites the config file.

I say where my downloads go, not some startup script.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change download dir in transmission web GUI
2. Stop/start transmission daemon (/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon)

Actual Results:  
On restart, download dir is reset to default (var/lib/transmission/downloads)

Expected Results:  
Go where I bloody well tell it to.

Darn, I was hoping nobody actually cared about this. I'll have to add some logic back to the script.
