Are you behind another router or something?
Try to change transmission port in settings.json and firewall-start

I changed port in settings.json to 51414, aswell as in /jffs/scripts/firewall-start to 51414. Still says closed oO

No the router is not behind a firewall or another router. I have my 100mbit wan connected directly into the router.

Suggesting in "S95transmission" script change the disk evaluation loop as follows so it will work with disk labels too; (a router with 2 usb could support 4 low power pocket drives with usb hub in each usb port, thus c & d):
Code: 
for i in "a1" "a2" "a3" "a4" "b1" "b2" "b3" "b4" "c1" "c2" "c3" "c4" "d1" "d2" "d3" "d4" ; do
        disk_path=`grep /dev/sd${i} /proc/mounts | awk '{print $2}'`
        if [ -d "${disk_path}" ] && [ ! -z "${disk_path}" ] ; then
                [ -z "${DIR_OK}" ] && DIR_OK="${disk_path}"
                if [ -d "${disk_path}/${REL_DLPATH}" ] ; then
                        DIR_DL="${disk_path}/${REL_DLPATH}"
                        break
                fi
        fi
done
Instead of awk could also use
Code: 
cut -d " " -f 2

Then these lines can be uncommented:
Code: 
[ ! -d "$DIR_CONF" ] && mkdir -p "$DIR_CONF"
[ ! -d "$DIR_DL1" ] && mkdir -p "$DIR_DL1"
[ ! -d "$DIR_DL2" ] && mkdir -p "$DIR_DL2"
[ ! -d "$DIR_DL3" ] && mkdir -p "$DIR_DL3"
[ ! -d "$DIR_LOG" ] && mkdir -p "$DIR_LOG"

Read again first line

I just copy and paste the output,

This is are the line i run from your guide using telnet from my MacAir:

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade
ipkg install transmission libiconv wget-ssl
/opt/bin/wget -c -O /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission http://goo.gl/VCgvw2 --no-check-certificate
chmod 777 /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission
/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start
/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission stop
chmod 777 /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
rm -r /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
/opt/bin/wget -c -O /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json http://goo.gl/PIHW2f --no-check-certificate
app_set_enabled.sh transmission yes

I copy the output from the 4th line, something goes wrong with the CA and then is missing the settings.json file, maybe is something changed?

I follow this link and i could make it work again on my RT-AC68U:

https://www.asuswrt.eu/transmission-on-asuswrt-routers-through-optware/

when I start the transmission daemon from the command-line I get a warning message that it can't create "Transmission" dir due to the ready-only F.S. but still works.
I'd like if there is more troubleshooting about such issues and eventually updates, also the version is stuck on 2.82.
