Downloads stop when using fast user switching

[pexel]

I've been using 1.42 and have just upgraded to 1.5 beta 1. In both versions, when I switch user and leave my laptop on the user login screen, transmission downloading and seeding stops until I login again. I didn't think this was the correct behaviour, anyone know what may be wrong?

ahah! Just figured it out when looking through the console messages. I had airport set to disconnect when logging out, thus it was disconnecting from my wifi network when I was switching users!
