Hi !

New update on the issue :

I had another issue with transmission, here is the post about it :

Transmission error : Access denied

Hi, I’ve got lots of issues with Transmission recently. I can’t figure out how to fix this. I’m trying to download torrent directly to my external HDD instead of the dietpi_userdata folder. Downloading a torrent to the micro SD works, but not on the external HDD. The HDD is ext4 formatted and mounted in /mnt. When I try to download a torrent to this location, the download works for a few minutes then it just stops. I can’t relaunch it. [image] I have the error “permission denied”. I don’t u…

Joulinar helped to solve it. I don’t know why, but it also fixed this issue !

Here is the solution :

Hi,

your folder Downloads belongs to user and group root. Means, root is the only one who is able to write to this folder. The user root you are using to login to Transmission has nothing to do with OS level user root. Both are completely different user. One is on OS level, while the other just exist inside Transmission application. On OS level, Transmission themselves is excecuted as user debian-transmission with group dietpi. Means for you 2 possibel solutions:

1. change Owner:Group of folder Downloads to debian-transmission:dietpi
2. change permission for folder Downloads to 777 if you not mind the security gap

I made the 1st option, and it solved that too !
Thanks again Joulinar. You’re the best.

Have a great day everyone !
