Working fine after 1 day, haven't seen the problem with seeding stopping that 1.42 has.

Seems exists problem with download. A day (over 24h) - working fine upload and download, then download stops but upload still ok. Trying to stop downloading torrent and start again - nothing. Connected seeders count - 0. After restarting transmission daemon - start download again. Same problem was in 1.42+. In 1.42 such problem was not observed.

Working fine after 1 day, haven't seen the problem with seeding stopping that 1.42 has.

Still working fine... one strange thing: sometimes it connects twice to a tracker.

It doesn't happen always but I've seen it several times with different trackers, the tracker reports 2 'sessions' opened about 30 seconds apart (38 seconds on my last seen case), there's not much info on the tracker side so the only difference besides the time they started is that one shows some upload, the other doesn't (and that upload was not done in this 'session', I just opened it by pausing a torrent that Transmission showed as seeding but the tracker didn't).

On the server side I see no unusual data looking at this torrent, and there is no duplicate on the torrent listing:

I waited for one scrape to go, perhaps it would clear things up, but nothing changed so far.

Performs very well for me. It's maxing out my speed limits almost constantly. Only thing is that it connects to more peers than allowed (have it set to connect to 35 peers per torrent, and it connects to between 32 and 43 peers).

Also, it seems that when limiting the upload to 0, it really hurts download speeds. They drop to around zero, and go very high the instant I remove the limit. I know about the tit-for-tat system, but this is on well-seeded torrents, so there should be enough peers willing to upload.
