Go to the web interface. Click the "config" icon (looks like a wheel with
checkmark). Select the "Base" tab. Change the "Default path to download
torrents" and the "incomplete dir" to whatever you need.

I tried that but I have no clue how to refer to that disk
Should I just add / mnt/ seagate backup/transmission/ downloads?
How to browse to the folder?
Any suggestions as it did not work
Do I need run a configuration exe
As even my FTP configuration does recognize but can't add folders
' not possible'
Please advise
Ton

Login to your router via ssh (or telnet). The command
# df
will show you the mounted disks. You can also issue the "df" command from the
routers GUI command window in the Administration menu, Console tab. If the disk
is mounted, you will see it probably under /media/seagate or something like
that. Then, you have to create your subdirectori(es) using the mkdir command,
e.g.
# mkdir /media/<your ntfsdiskname>/transmission
# mkdir /media/<your ntfsdiskname>/transmission/downloads
either from the linux login shell or from the mentioned console window. After
that, you can use those directories for transmission.

Thank you for the great support!
One more questions, after doing so I get this error
Error string: Read-only file system

Please advise how to solve the last item.
Thank you in advance

Now I can only guess. Either you set the checkmark to "Use incomplete dir" in
the configuration of the web interface of transmission but did not create this
directory, or you have another inconsistency in your directory tree, or
transmission cannot handle the ntfs file system of your seagate (permisson
problem). In this case, I would advise you to copy the content of your seagate
to another disk, format your seagate to ext4 and start again. There might be
other workarounds to handle this (special mount options for your seagate), but
it's timeconsuming to find the reasons and advise you from remote. All these
questions are related to linux, not to the router. If you are not familiar with
linux, you could find someone among your colleagues who is and can help you
quickly.
If you want to keep your disk as ntfs, you can also google for "linux ntfs
mount options"; you might find an solution. But in this case the problem will
return after every reboot. You will have to write a start script that
unmounts/mounts your disk after every start of the router.

Hi,
Thanks for your honest reply.
This is what I did as I like the NTFS format.
I did reset the router to factory default and entered all my settings again.
You won't believe it everything work I can just select one of the 2 drives
and that's it.
I even have the impression that I have now more options in the firmware but
that can be wrong.
Thanks again
