Setting String Notes Required or Recommended?
"download-dir": "/shared/merged/downloads/transmission/default" Required
"incomplete-dir": "/shared/merged/downloads/transmission/incomplete" Recommended
"blocklist-enabled": true Recommended
"blocklist-url": "https://github.com/Naunter/BT_Blocklists/raw/master/bt_blocklists.gz" An automatically updating blocklist I found Recommended
"preallocation": 0 Stops Transmission from using disk space before it needs it. Slows down downloads, but makes it less likely for your local disk to fill up with stalled torrents Recommended
"rpc-host-whitelist-enabled": false
If you're running Transmission from behind a reverse proxy, you might need this, or to add your domain to the rpc-host-whitelist
