v8 v9 1 = Location = 1 = Configuration Files = 2 [[PageOutline]] 2 3 3 == Mac OS X Defaults == 4 == Locations == 5 6 ==== Mac OS X Defaults ==== 4 7 Per-torrent settings are stored in {{{$HOME/Library/Application Support/Transmission}}}[[BR]] 5 8 Application settings are stored in {{{$HOME/Library/Preferences/org.m0k.transmission.plist}}}[[BR]] 6 9 The default download folder is {{{$HOME/Downloads}}} 7 10 8 == Linux / GTK Defaults==11 ==== Linux / GTK Defaults ==== 9 12 For the GTK+ client, all settings are kept in {{{$HOME/.config/transmission}}}[[BR]] 10 13 For the Daemon, all settings are kept in {{{$HOME/.config/transmission-daemon}}}[[BR]] … … 15 18 where the gtk+ client left off, run transmission-daemon -g ~/.config/transmission. 16 19 17 == Overriding the Defaults==20 ==== Overriding the Defaults ==== 18 21 19 22 On all platforms, the per-user configuration folder's location can 20 23 be overridden by setting the {{{TRANSMISSION_HOME}}} environmental variable. 21 24 22 ---- 23 24 = Files = 25 == Files == 25 26 26 27 The configuration folder typically has the following files: 27 28 28 == settings.json==29 ==== settings.json ==== 29 30 30 31 This is a json-encoded file that holds all the client's settings and preferences. It's currently only used by the daemon and GTK+ clients. json was chosen because it's mostly human-readable and -writable, but also allows data hierarchies to be stored. 31 32 32 == stats.json==33 ==== stats.json ==== 33 34 34 35 This is a json-encoded file that holds session statistics such as running upload and download byte counts. 35 36 36 == torrents/==37 ==== torrents/ ==== 37 38 38 39 This subfolder holds the .torrent files that have been added to Transmission. The files in this folder are named with a combination of the torrent's name (to make it human-readable) and a portion of the torrent's SHA1 hash (to avoid filename collisions from similarly-named torrents). 39 40 40 == resume/==41 ==== resume/ ==== 41 42 42 43 This subfolder holds .resume files that hold information about a particular torrent, such as which parts have been downloaded, the folder the downloaded data was stored in, and so on. These follow an identical naming scheme to the files in the torrents subfolder. 43 44 44 == blocklists/==45 ==== blocklists/ ==== 45 46 46 47 This subfolder holds bluetack-formatted blocklists. Files ending in ".bin" are generated by Transmission as it parses a bluetack file and stores it into a binary format for faster lookups. On startup, Transmission will try to parse any non-".bin" file and generate a new blocklist from it, so you can have multiple blocklists just by copying new bluetack files into this location. See [wiki:Blocklists] for more information. 47 48 48 = Legacy Versions of Transmission=49 == Legacy Versions of Transmission == 49 50 50 51 Older, [http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html pre-XDG] [http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/684 versions] of transmission-gtk and transmission-daemon stored their settings in {{{$HOME/.transmission}}}. Newer releases try to automatically migrate these files to {{{$HOME/.config/transmission/}}}.
