title: transmission-remote commands are erroring with Unexpected response: <h1>401: Unauthorized</h1>Unauthorized User: deflate, gzip
body: <p>I'm running the latest Raspbian distribution and just installed the <code>transmission</code> packages. </p>
  
  <p>However, whenever I run a <code>transmission-remote</code> command - say, to alter some base configurations - I keep getting the same error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>$ transmission-remote -DU -c required -p 9091 -w ~/torrents
  Unexpected response: &lt;h1&gt;401: Unauthorized&lt;/h1&gt;Unauthorized User: deflate, gzip
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't find any good docs or tutorials out there to troubleshoot with, and I suspect I missed out on a step in the initial setup process which has resulted in this error. I'll already tried setting a username/password, i.e.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ transmission-remote --auth myusername:mypassword
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which succeeded, but it's still throwing the same "Unexpected response" error for all other commands.</p>
  
  <p>Starting <code>transmission-daemon</code> doesn't work either:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ service transmission-daemon start
  [....] Starting bittorrent daemon: transmission-daemonstart-stop-daemon: unable to set gid to 110 (Operation not permitted)
   failed!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an idea of why this might be happening?</p>
