Use transmission menu: Edit → Preferences to change your settings...

@ marcobra : I tried that, but it reverts to the original setting even after i apply the changes. I have also tried re installing the program, but it does not solve the problem.

try to remove the transmission settings under your home directory... from terminal Applications→ Accessories →Terminal
type or better copy and paste the row below:

rm -r $HOME/.transmission

Then press enter then retry

from terminal type

sudo apt-get --reinstall --purge install transmission

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.
