Ok so this "confusion" seems to come from the files in the resume folder that somehow know where it was downloading previously. I move them away and now with the following in my settings.json: "download-dir": "/somewhere/else", "incomplete-dir": "/somewhere/else", "incomplete-dir-enabled": true, transmission-daemon does not recreate /var/transmission/Downloads and works as expected.
