Help with transmission on GoFlex Home

[viralbug]

Hey guys!
I recently got a GoFlex Home to use as a download box + NAS. Installing arch was a breeze with the guide. I also have successfully installed Samba and it is up and running.

However, I'm facing a little problem with transmission torrent client. It is installed and runs fine, but I'm having trouble with the web GUI. I have edited the settings to enable access from my PC's ip connected in the same network. So here's what's happening:
When I start the transmission.service, I can't access web GUI. The service is running fine as shown by systemctl.
When I start transmission-daemon, web GUI works fine.

I'm confused since I thought running the transmission.service in systemd was same as transmission-daemon? I'm looking to enable transmission on boot, which I have done using systemctl. But as I said, the web GUI doesn't work unless I start transmission-daemon.

It's probably user and permissions problem, start on boot with this
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'cp -a /usr/lib/systemd/system/transmission.service /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/
cp -a /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/transmission.conf /etc/tmpfiles.d/')
You have to do that otherwise they get wrote over with upgrades.
Edit those and also edit /etc/conf.d/transmissiond
Start it with that user and stop, edit ~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json of that user

Looks like I completely skipped creating a user named 'transmission'.
Anyways, so I created a user for transmission and have done all the settings. Web GUI now works when I start transmission.service using systemctl command.
However, somehow the transmission-daemon doesn't start on boot. I have enabled it using systemctl command and the service starts, but no web GUI on boot. I have to stop and start the service again to make it work.

I've been trying to make transmission work at boot without any success.
Since restarting the transmission service makes everything work fine, I thought the transmission service must be getting started before some other dependent services. I edited transmission.service to make sure it starts up after network.target loads. But still no go. I'm not sure if any other services are required or if it's a different issue altogether.

Just run it as root:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'nano /etc/systemd/system/transmission.service')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '.include /usr/lib/systemd/system/transmission.service

[Service]
User=root
')

1) grumble
2) tried transmissiond.service?
3) configured user & permissions correctly? (/etc/conf.d/transmission(d) & related /home)

Editing /etc/conf.d/transmissiond did the trick! Thanks a lot!
I had followed all the steps in the wiki. It says to edit /etc/conf.d/transmissiond if you are using initscripts and to edit the other files if using systemd. I had done the steps for systemd and figured that should do it.
Sorry for the trouble. Next step is to get the printer server up.
