[Solved]Transmission Won't Download Anything

I have tried various reboots of my router, Tp-Link TD-W8980 v1 running 18.06.1, and restarts of transmission but the problem is still there. After a small amount of download the torrent task fails without any error. It wont download further and just displays that downloaded amount is zero. Even if I resume it again, same situation follows.

I have mounted the USB drive already as extroot and it's working fine but somehow transmission thinks that there is no more space on the device. Although the drive is successfully mounted and has free space of more than 400 GBs.

Transmission config is as follows:

config transmission
	option enabled 			1
	option config_dir 		'/data/transmission-config'
	option config_overwrite 	'1'
	option user 			'transmission'
	option group 			'transmission'

	option nice 			10
	option alt_speed_down 		50
	option alt_speed_enabled 	false
	option alt_speed_time_begin  	540
	option alt_speed_time_day 	127
	option alt_speed_time_enabled 	false
	option alt_speed_time_end 	1020
	option alt_speed_up 		50

	option preallocation 		1
	option prefetch_enabled 	true
	option queue_stalled_enabled 	true

	option ratio_limit 		2.0000
	option ratio_limit_enabled 	false

	option rpc_host_whitelist 	'127.0.0.1,192.168.1.*'
	option rpc_host_whitelist_enabled true
	option rpc_password 		''
	option rpc_port 		9091
	option rpc_url 			'/transmission/'
	option rpc_username 		''
	option rpc_whitelist 		'127.0.0.1,192.168.1.*'
	option rpc_whitelist_enabled 	true
	option scrape_paused_torrents_enabled true
	option script_torrent_done_enabled false
	option script_torrent_done_filename ''
	option seed_queue_enabled 	false
	option seed_queue_size 		2
	option speed_limit_down 	100
	option speed_limit_down_enabled true
	option speed_limit_up 		20
	option speed_limit_up_enabled 	true
	option start_added_torrents 	true
	option trash_original_torrent_files false
	option umask 			18
	option upload_slots_per_torrent 14
	option utp_enabled 		true
	option scrape_paused_torrents 	true
	option watch_dir_enabled 	false
	option watch_dir 		''

Now that I see it's downloading data to /root/Downloads/* but in the config I have set the location otherwise. What can I do to make it work?

After numerous attempts of restarting and pointing incomplete directory to USB has solved the issue. I also put in watch_dir but I have not create it in the USB just yet. But anyway it's downloading now.
