Transmission

Because of some other problems that I couldn't solve (for example, 1.74 stops transmission reporting "Tracker returned an error"; also, I experienced the slowing-down/freezing issue while using 1.74), I've moved back to 1.73. If 1.74 is working fine with Snow Leopard, I'll think of upgrading my 10.5 ...

I know. But, that won't charge you. Registration is free.

I erased all settings (Application Support, Caches, Preferences), but had no luck. 1.74 still looses seeds. It stops transmission saying "Tracker returned an error." uTorrent for Mac works fine with the same torrents.

Okay. I still have the same problem. 1.74 reports "Tracker returned an error" for the files that are migrated from 1.73. The files newly added after upgrading to 1.74 seem to be fine.

I am having the same problem, only I have no idea what libcurl is or how to compile it...

Edit: I am running it fine in 32bit mode, but is there a way I can use it in 64 bit mode?

I assume you have exactly the same problem as I have. Otherwise, recompiling libcurl would not help you.

Steps to ...

Today, I downloaded curl-42 from http://www.opensource.apple.com, and compiled it. It solved my problem. I've got no error messages. Also, Activity Monitor shows that Transmission 1.74 is running in 64-bit mode. Thanks livings124!

Trashing Caches/Transmission won't do any harm to you. But, trashing ~/Library/Application Support/Transmission will clear download information of the files currently being downloaded and/or seeded. Also, your preference settings will be lost if you trash ~/Library/Preferences/org.m0k.transmission ...

I got similar problem. After erasing ~/Library/Caches/Transmission, it seems to be working fine.

Ah, if you installed a custom libcurl, it looks like it's not compatible. It's apparently the wrong architecture, meaning it isn't working with X86-64. A solution might be to get info on Transmission, and select to run in 32-bit mode.

Thanks! It works. So, recompiling libcurl in 64-bit mode can ...

Hmm, strange. Are you somehow using your OS in 64-bit mode? Any custom system configurations?

No. I don't know how to configure this OS in 64-bit mode. I installed Mac OS from Leopard installation CD with default configuration. Maybe I compiled libcurl from the source tarball several months ago ...

Hi
1.74 doesn't start on my macbook. Console crash log says there was a problem with libcurl dynamic library, but 1.73 has worked just fine (I rolled back to 1.73). Sorry I couldn't try 1.74 with the latest build of libcurl. I couldn't check it since libcurl website was down.

Here's the crash log ...
