So I found this guide to installing multiple instances for ubuntu, but it doesn't seem to work for centos 6.5. Can someone point me in the right direction? I found a guide here https://www.scribd.com/doc/242365178/How-to-Run-Multiple-Instances-of-Transmission-Daemon-in-Linux-Debian-or-Ubuntu

In addition, this is the basic commands I Was trying to run:

yum install transmission-daemon

/etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
cp /usr/bin/transmission-daemon /usr/bin/transmission-daemon2 
cp /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon2 
cp -a /var/lib/transmission-daemon /var/lib/transmission-daemon2 
cp -a /etc/transmission-daemon /etc/transmission-daemon2 
cp /etc/default/transmission-daemon /etc/default/transmission-daemon2 
chmod 777 /usr/bin/transmission-daemon2 
chmod 777 /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon2 
chmod 777 /var/lib/transmission-daemon2  
chmod 777 /etc/transmission-daemon2 
chmod 777 /etc/default/transmission-daemon2

This is as far as I got as some of the copying of the files do not exist, so basically I am stuck here.

Did some digging, thanks to the one who replied, it put me on the right track. Here's a complete guide :).

wget https://github.com/elijahpaul/install-transmission/raw/master/install-transmission.sh

chmod u+x install-transmission.sh

./install-transmission.sh

Create a user and a password. Let the script do the work for you. You will now have a transmission client running at http:// " YOUR IP ":9091 All the required files should be installed now. We just need to copy them all over for another transmission client.

cp -r /home/"Original Transmission Folder" /home/"Put any new user here"

edit ->>>>>> /home/"New User"/.config/transmission/settings.json

These fields need to be changed. "rpc-port": 9092, (increase by 1) "rpc-username": "Name of New user folder", "peer-port": 51414, (increase this by 1)

save the changes and permissions.

 chmod 777 /home/"New User"/.config/transmission/settings.json

Next 

cp /etc/rc.d/init.d/transmissiond /etc/rc.d/init.d/transmissiond2

Edit These fields in the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/transmissiond2

TRANSMISSION_HOME=/home/"New User Folder"
DAEMON_USER="New USer"
NAME=transmission-daemon2

Next some more file copying cp /usr/local/src/transmission-2.84/daemon/transmission-daemon /usr/local/src/transmission-2.84/daemon/transmission-daemon2

cp /usr/bin/transmission-daemon /usr/bin/transmission-daemon3

Lastly adding the user and setting permissions for the new folder

useradd "New User"
psswd "New User"

set a password so you can login into transmission on the 9092 port.

chmod 777 /home/"New User"

Last step is to start the transmission client up by runnng this command: sudo service transmissiond2 start and to have it on always on start sudo chkconfig transmissiond2 on

*** If you are having trouble connecting to the ports I advise running this

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 9092 -j ACCEPT

check to see if it is active 

iptables -L -n

and saving the file

iptables-save | sudo tee /etc/sysconfig/iptables

service iptables restart

You can run as many as you want. Just change the user folders, ports, and transmissiond/transmission-daemon names. If anything isn't working let me know I will update.

:)

If that isnt working run: service iptables stop
