Re: Torrent download fails when a colon is in the filename

Sanitizing is already in place since 3.00, unless it broke in 4.x (I didn't test). Which version are you using?

Re: Latest version for XP 32bits support?

I'm not sure we ever _officially_ released a version supporting Windows XP, it was always Vista or later since 2.90. There was a separate project back then that I think did support it, with latest version at 2.84: https://sourceforge.net/projects/trqtwin/.

Re: Transmission 4 just won't open

Yup, send reports to Apple. If it is on their end, they will fix it years before Transmission even cares. First of all, not constructive. I won't repeat the open-source mantra here, you should know better than blaming others for not fixing your issue. Second, if it's not on Apple's end then you're ...

Re: Transmission 4 just won't open

You didn't provide any information apart from something resembling "it doesn't work", and as I tried to hint before we don't have access to reports you send to Apple, so... If you don't want to open an issue on GitHub, at least attach the crash report here, otherwise your chances of gettin...

Sending reports to Apple (which is what I assume you're doing) makes little sense. If you want to report an issue, please do so at https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues (but please search first to see if it was already reported).

Re: Warning when opening Transmission in Raspberry Pi

This happens when the program is compiled with support for AppIndicator and you have system tray icon enabled in preferences. I didn't yet figure out why this is happening, but it's definitely not something critical for the overall functioning of the program and can be ignored.

Re: PUA:Win32/TransmissionTorrent

Seems something hit Microsoft in the head on March 2 and they added not only Transmission but also QBitTorrent and Deluge to the PUA (Potentially Unwanted Applications) list. Based on their own definition , Potentially unwanted applications (PUA) are a category of software that can cause your machin...

Re: Transmission doesn't start after upgrade

Try editing your settings.json (with Transmissmission not running) and removing all "main-window-..." keys from it to see if it helps. This should reset window state to its defaults. An alternative to this is to activate Transmission (clicking on taskbar button), then press Alt+Space to op...

Re: Preallocation bug?

What's the filesystem on the volume where you store torrents? Sparse preallocation would only work for NTFS. Also, check if sparse allocation is enabled for any given file(s) (as admin): > fsutil file layout test.dat ********* File 0x000200000018f2cc ********* File reference number : 0x000200000018f...

Re: VPN vs "Encryption required"

Again, you didn't state your goals, so there's no "best" here, but if you value your privacy I'd say VPN is always a good option, especially since it would also protect connections that aren't covered by BT encryption, like tracker communication.

Re: VPN vs "Encryption required"

It depends on your goals. BT encryption will prevent people from determining the particular torrents you're downloading, but won't stop your ISP from identifying (and potentially blocking or throttling) BT traffic. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_protocol_encryption for some more i...

Re: Preallocation bug?

It could be that copying files from incomplete to complete directory makes them non-sparse, will need to look into this. In case you're copying yourself, tools like ntfscopy might be useful.

Re: Preallocation bug?

For partially downloaded files *not* to occupy their full size you need to set preallocation to 1 (sparse), which is the default. What 0 means is that there'll be no preallocation attempts on Transmission side, but writing bytes past the end of any file (and in this case at the end of a non-existent...
