Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Click a torrent link on the web,
- Transmission opens and asks where to download, select somewhere on an external drive. In my case it's in a folder called "Downloads" on an external drive.
- Click another torrent
Result:
Transmission always suggests ~/Downloads, even though my last folder was /Volumes/ExternalFoobar/Downloads?!
Does this have to do with the folder being named "Downloads" or just that Transmission forgets?

under preferences -> transfers you can set the default download location to a specific folder or let it use the same folder the torrent is in

Dakoman's explanation nails it. It uses the setting in preferences, not the last location. This is the intended behavior.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
Looking at the code, it turns out it always suggests the folder where the .torrent file has been downloaded. See http://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser/trunk/macosx/AddWindowController.m#L58
I would suggest that it uses as the default the last chosen folder (maybe only remember in the current running session), as people probably tend to download to the same place.
