it set this:
Code:
transmission_download_dir=""
and starting transmission now shows this:
Code:
usage: chown [-fhvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] owner[:group] file ...
chown [-fhvx] [-R [-H | -L | -P]] :group file ...
Starting transmission.
but (!), setting the download_dir again from the WebUI does set it in the setting.json.
