Transmission crash when using web seeds (bug?)

[#Daniel]

(Not sure if this is supposed to be in GTK+ or here.)

Transmission crashes/closes itself when attempting to downlod archlinux using the torrent version from https://www.archlinux.org/download/. I do not know whether it is a crash or if the client is simply closing itself; I was unable to locate the log files.

I've also noticed that although I have a 5-peer limit per torrent, web seeds disrespect this limit, and that web seeds are using HTTP despite having require encryption active in the options. Is this part supposed to be like this? If so I would make the suggestion to add options to (1) limit amount of web seeds and (2) force the use of a secure connection.

Transmission version is 2.82 in Ubuntu 14.04.
This request for help was also placed at https://askubuntu.com/q/577632/298314 but I'm asking here as well since it may be more appropriate.

Repeating the crash: (1) Download the archlinux torrent version from the URL above to open with transmission-gtk, and (2) the download starts so wait until it crashes.


[EDIT]
I've noticed another issue, although I pause the torrent it keeps downloading from some of the web seeds for awhile.

With the offensive torrent I get 203 webseeders trying to connect. From viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16724&start=15#p70316 summary --> 1.) and 3.) combine to having many thousands of simultaneous connections and thousands more connection attempts. I'll let transmission sit like this to see if it ever pulls out of this situation. It seems to be downloading but I can't get thought to the daemon I'm using with rpc as there's too much activity. I'll wait it out for fun.

later...

Please try to get a backtrace using latest nightly.

http://www.transmissionbt.com/download.php

$ gdb transmission-daemon
(gdb) handle SIGPIPE nostop noprint pass
(gdb) r -f
... run until Transmission crashes...
(gdb) thread apply all bt full

Using the latest version of transmission-daemon as suggested (transmission-trunk-r14463) the file downloaded without any issues. Did it twice, no crashes. I can still get a log if it might be helpful. Thank you both for your support.
