Transmission

Greetings,

Keeping on the bleeding edge with Transmission SVN updates is fun.

But a few days back I noticed in the "about" window for T. that it is stuck at version:

But errors about "permission denied" point to it that root access is needed ...

Hi,

can't help you with your first question, as I'm stuck myself with the installer not finding "libevent"
in both tarball and SVN. :-/
