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. Thanks.
