2.60 isn't downloading to my chosen destination

Post by mr ed209 »

Hi all,

Recently updated to Transmission for Mac 2.60 (13375) and have encountered an error I've not seen before. For some reason Transmission is downloading to my Downloads folder, despite me having set a specific torrent download folder in preferences, and having checked that that destination was selected when I started this torrent.

In fact the first few times I tried a torrent after updating, I would get two minutes in and then Transmission would stop the download and tell me permission was denied for the torrent download folder. Now it's stopped doing that, but it's still not downloading to the correct place.

Incidentally, the Download folder is where the actual torrent file was opened from, although I have Transmission set to delete torrent files after opening them. Is that something to do with why it's downloading to my Download folder?

Apologies, for some reason a quit, delete of files and restart has placed the torrent in the right place. Problem mysteriously solved!
