Couldn't bind port 51413 on 192.168.1.xxx: Cannot assign requested address (net.c:371)

[q_i]

When transmission-deamon is started automatically during system boot it doesn't download any files. In log-file i see this message: "Couldn't bind port 51413 on 192.168.1.xxx: Cannot assign requested address (net.c:371)". When i restart transmission-deamon with "sudo service transmission-daemon stop" and "sudo service transmission-daemon start" transmission-deamon works correctly and in log-file i see other message: "Bound socket 11 to port 51413 on 192.168.1.xxx (net.c:379)".
I changed in /etc/init/transmission-daemon.conf string "start on (filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo)" to "start on (filesystem and static-network-up)" and now transmission-daemon can download files even if it starts during system boot.

A bug from 2015 and still "new". Nice – Here's a fix:
Edit the systemd unit file with `sudo systemctl edit --full transmission-daemon.service` and replace the line

> After=network.target

with the lines

> After=network-online.target
> Wants=network-online.target

With this, systemd should wait for the network to become fully available before starting the daemon.
