Inspired by Nick's tip I've renamed ~/.config/transmission/settings.json and ~/.config/transmission/dht.dat but kept resume and torrents folders intact. The error is gone.

However, no matter what disk or directory is chosen, after receiving around 4M (probably when it tries to write to disk for the first time) the download finishes with an error "Error: Permission denied (intended_path_to_file)". I have ensured that the user has write permission (touch intended_path works OK). I have tried to save on my home directory as well as to NTFS partitions, with the same results. I have also tried different torrents and magnets.
