Motivation for this change

Directory mode 755 is standard for running services. Without this,
downloadDirPermissions can't work since other users can't even
look inside the main transmission directory

Things done
  • Checked that this indeed changes the directory permissions and allows e.g. users in the transmission group to access the download directory

See also #76552 which is trying to solve the same thing.

I have no preference for which PR gets merged as this issue does not affect me. But the patch looks good to me.

merging this for now to have a fix.
we should backport this to 20.03 probably

I will try to rewrite some stuff to not rely on a preStart script and maybe do this via activationScript or some other way to address the complains in: #55161
