Solution:
1-You have to set transmission internal umask in file
/var/lib/transmission/settings.json, as in:
"trash-original-torrent-files": false,
"umask": 0,
"upload-slots-per-torrent": 14,
This should work for new downloads, only.
2-For old ones use Directory Setup->Permissions
on transmission Finished directory so that
-"Other Users" can read and write and browse
-"check Apply recursively to subdirectories"
submit.
With both methods everybody can do whatever they want to files, sorry :(

Fixed for transmission-2.42 (setting umask to 0, not a real fix!)
Not closing to remember doing a real fix

- Changed state: Started
now fixed in svn (for transmission-2.52).
Users must belong to BT group to write/modify/remove files; other users are
still able to read files.
