Transmission

[Debug] Port Forwarding (UPnP): UPNP_GetValidIGD failed (errno 0 - Unknown error: 0)

this is also the error i receive. other applications (skype, limewire) can auto forward ports properly, but transmission cannot. this is with a mikrotik router. it worked at one point, i'm not sure what changed ...

transmission freezes my OSX 10.X (currently on snow leopard, but same for 10.5), and only if there are many LARGE torrents (6gb+). if the torrent downloads are fairly small, there is no problem.
i'm also not sure at what point my OS freezes, it seems random to me. it will be fine for many hours ...

It's an ongoing conspiracy that uTorrent prioritizes uTP-capable clients over standard clients, and since uTorrent accounts for the vast majority of users, a bandwidth starved swarm will end up avoiding your client like the plague.

Or it could be firing off corrupted packets or something which gets ...

Slow death, the latest crazy bug? Are you new here by any chance?

Choose two of the three for your answer: upstream's fault, wontfix, worksforme

I do agree though - if it's common knowledge that hay trackers are bogus, why does Transmission honor these client-side-performance-killing trackers in torrents? Although I haven't tried it yet, I'm guessing the hosts file hack that I have in mind will solve this problem for me, but it would seem ...

The wont quit/hangs bug has been around for a while, at least for me. If you overload the I/O cache TM ungracefully stops responding for a minute or so, and occasionally after an unfreeze, all communication seizes up and the only solution is to restart TM, however it'll hang on quit. Sometimes if TM ...

Don't use the GUI version as a seedbox. The list interface devours cpu cycles and is very slow/unstable with over a thousand torrents. Try Transmission-cli.

The devs already said it's out of the question if I recall. However there are a few simple applications that can wrap around TM like Tsocks or Proxifier that can forward the connections.

Transmission hammers the read and write cache which causes the RAM to get eaten up and it destabilizes OS X, but that's SNAFU. But watching the error logs, the problem just gets worse until the networking stack crashes along with any I/O operations. It's very obvious because the hackintosh I use now ...

i think the exponential growth of inactive memory slowly (or quickly, depending on your setup) displaces other running apps which slows your system down a lot and can cause it to beachball and become unusable after being left idle. these graphs arent perfect ...

many people have claimed that the sysctl does not fix the problem. it certainly did not fix it for me. i noticed the same sort of behavior with my leopard xserve running rtorrent/libtorrent so i put that line in cron to run every 10 minutes and i believe it alleviates the problem though i am not ...

tm slow death is potentially related to a flaw in darwin's handling of the disk cache which gets especially bad when using bittorrent and effects everyone regardless of your hard drive speed or ram size. to "flush" it try running the following noninvasive command (sudo not required)

du -sx ...

I have this problem as well. My computer gets slowed down substantially when Transmission is running and it's directly correlated to the "inactive" memory descending to <20MB.

The big issue with this is that moving files completely locks up transmission until the process is complete, I'd be surprised if that didn't cause problems aside from the problem itself. It will eventually resume for me but all my transfers will sometimes stall completely (after the fact - of course ...

The ability to filter by groups is absent from Clutch.

HTML5 includes drag 'n drop support for file uploading, if supported this it would be way easier to use especially for multiable torrents. Here's some info:
