I don't touch the default path. So it's what the Transmission developer sets.

I'm not sure how the Transmission-Daemon works exactly. Better I run it
in userland (as logged in User), that means every download is user based.
With a system daemon. I'm not sure if its possible to protect each download
from every user?

OmniOS provide everything except libevent. There was just an issue with a
building macro that detect libcurl not/worg
The rest was just straight forward, thanks to the OmniOS developers!
