Create a directory where you want all of your downloads to go - I used sftp with filezilla to create:
/home/xbmc/Videos/Downloads
I got everything else but I cannot figure out how to create the directory and I cannot download any torrents because the web ui is telling me there is no such directory as /hom/xbmc/Videos/Downloads... Any help would be much appreciated!! Thank You!

i use transmission on my XBMC Live box using this guide, and it's been great.
I'm also very interested in figuring out how to set up automatic downloading, if anyone has an idiot's guide i'd def be up for following it. i've read tonnes about flexget, TED, uTorrent and others, but don't really understand what i need to install on my XBMC Live box to get it to auto download shows. cheers

Hi!
I dont manage to get the permissions on the folder right. I followed the guide but get permission denied.
when i use ls -la on the specific folder i get
xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ ls -la Downloads
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 xbmc debian-transmission 4096 2011-02-09 23:19 .
drwxr-xrw- 15 xbmc xbmc 4096 2011-02-09 23:19 ..
i´ve tried to give everyone permissions with the chmod -a+rw but it dont seems to work either.
Any suggestions?

This is awesome! But I am struggling linking Transmission with my uPNP device. I want my downloads to go to a uPNP NAS server. In XBMC I can do this using Samba, is it also possible to somehow let Transmission use my uPNP drive as download directory?

Would anyone like to share what rss feeds they are using for their shows? I've had a similar setup running before with ktorrent auto-downloading new shows from an rss feed but I always end up getting multiple copies of the same show because there are 3 or 4 different torrents for the same show in the feed.
Are there feeds that only list 1 torrent per episode? Or is there some other solution to this problem?

I think I can answer my own question after doing some searching, haha. Looks like Flexget is what I'm looking for. I will have to do some playing when I get home.

Can someone who had permission problems and fixed them explain how, please? I've done everything in the guide. All works as it should, but I still get "permission denied" when trying to add torrents.
EDIT: Reformatting my external drive as ext4 (was fat32) and going through this guide again solved it. I bet there's an easier way.
EDIT AGAIN!: Now it's back to not working again.

Yep, struggling like some of you guys, access denied when commencing a torrent.
Have googled around a bit an not having much luck, any other guides around, rtorrent maybe?
