Linux daemon: journalctl -u transmission-daemon. The GTK client (transmission-gtk) logs to stdout.

Where Transmission keeps its logs

Transmission logs to ~/Library/Application Support/Transmission/ on macOS. 1 other macOS log location is recorded below.

Paths are printed exactly as Transmission writes them. Environment variables like %LOCALAPPDATA% and $XDG_STATE_HOME are never expanded, so a path can be pasted straight into a shell. Where a path differs between installer types or shipping flavours, each one is racked as its own card below - why that happens.
