Utorrent server downloads and uploads stuck at <1%

I' using 18.04 and installed utorrent server using the following guide:

I managed to download 3 files and thought maybe I would make utorrent autorun at boot, so I followed the second step of said guide. It worked (meaning utorrent now starts at boot), but I can't down or upload anything - it starts, then when reaches 1% it says "STOPPED" and goes back to 0%.

I'm guessing that it is something with utorrent not having write access to the download directory (I had set it to 'downloads' at first) but I can't find the folder mentioned in the guide 'home/username/utorrent' which supposedly utorrent has write access to, nor can I find the opt folder. I could also give utorrent write access to my download folder -can anyone show me the commands?

I edited my post with an obvious answer: give utorrent write access to my 'downloads' folder. Since I have seen this question many times before,so I just used chown:

sudo chown -R utorrent:utorrent /home/***/Downloads

Where *** is my username.
