Can't update to the lattest version

Post by scrutinizer1 »

Hi,
When I launched Transmission an update notification popped up. I hit "Update now" but a pop-up alert immediately followed telling me "An SSL error occurred. Wasn't able to establish a secure connection with the server. Try again later". I tried but no matter what still get that message. I had Transmission put in a subfolder of /Applications folder. Thinking it looks for the possibly hard-coded path /Applications I moved it there but no difference.
I'm still on Transmission 2.92, OS X is Lion.

I also have trouble auto-updating Transmission on macOS. My Transmission client reports the error "An error occurred while extracting the archive."

Same here. This popup shows immediately after it finished downloading (2.92 > 2.94).

For me problem solved by downloading the .dmg file of the 2.94 version and copying in the applications folder this version replacing the previous one.

I solved that by downloading the installer and updating manually. I extracted the app file from the installer DMG using Pacifist and then copied it to a location of preference. All went OK and the app launched seamlessly.

The issue is with how High Sierra and Sparkle handle volumes and is basically a permissions issue. See the discussion here: https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/600 The developers report this will probably be fixed in the 3.0 release if the Sparkle issue is resolved. In the mean-while, uninstall, download the new version, reinstall.
