Transmission 3 has been deprecated in the 25.05 channel and removed in favor of version 4 in the 25.11 channel onwards.

If you still rely on it, consider making a backup before upgrading to transmission 4.

~~{{note| This section was created in 2017 and this workaround may not~~ be ~~needed anymore for changing~~ settings. ~~This will stay until final confirmation occurs~~.}}

The transmission daemon can be enabled declaratively as a <code>systemd</code> service with the settings under <code>services.transmission.settings</code>. [https://search.nixos.org/options?type=packages&query=transmission.settings View the documentation for more info].

~~Changes to the configuration in the interface will not persist when the application is re-launched.~~ <code>services.transmission.~~settings~~</code> ~~is reset each time the service restarts.~~

Note that <code>services.transmission.package</code> defaults to:

<~~blockquote~~>

* <code>transmission_3</code> in the deprecated 25.05 channel

~~Attribute set whos[e] fields overwrites fields~~ in ~~settings.json (each~~

* <code>transmission_4</code> from 25.11 onwards

~~time~~ the ~~service starts). String values must be quoted, integer and~~

~~boolean values must not~~.
