Install required packages

aptitude install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev intltool

Install libevent

wget http://monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.13-stable.tar.gz
tar -xzf libevent-1.4.13-stable.tar.gz
cd libevent-1.4.13-stable
./configure
make && make install

Install Transmission

wget http://mirrors.m0k.org/transmission/files/transmission-2.01.tar.bz2
tar -xjf transmission-2.01.tar.bz2
cd transmission-2.01
./configure LIBEVENT_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -levent"
make && make install

Add transmission user

adduser --disabled-password transmission

Then go in the web interface and add a home directory: volumes/home/transmission

Now, as root give privileges on his home directory to the transmission user

chown transmission /volumes/home/transmission

Test trasmission-daemon (with transmission user)

su transmission
transmission-daemon -f
[ctrl+c]

Now you should have a new config file in /volumes/home/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

Add Transmission init script
Use script from https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Scripts/initd

vi /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
chmod +x /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon
update-rc.d transmission-daemon defaults
doesn’t seem to work properly for me :S

tranmission-start.sh (run as root)

#!/bin/sh

ulimit -n 4096
EVENT_NOEVPORT=1

/etc/init.d/transmissin-daemon start
