to mention that this not happened with Transmission 3, I still have it installed as a plug-in, but inactive as I moved to a custom jail for version 4
I have it set up to monitor a selected folder where I put .torrent files and once the torrent is added then it deletes the .torrent file
this is the settings.json with the modifications I made (I removed some items like password and port) - the contents are almost identical to what I used in Transmission 3 that worked without issues

}note: in the watched directory where I put my .torrent files I also see random named .torrent files that pop up after the torrent is starting downloading; eg: 5d13db35fd070d6d03beece1b58ce94df6efe59d.torrent
my guess is those are the temporary torrent files for the active downloads, but why are they in the watch dir?! shouldn't Transmission have its own temp directory?
