Transmission 2.04 Crashes OSX 10.5.8

[LarryCharles]

I have been happily running Transmission on my MacBook Pro for about 15 months, upgrading whenever updates have been launched.

But since 2.04, which I upgraded to a few weeks ago, my computer has been crashing. At first, I could run the program for a while before the dark curtain fell over my screen telling me to restart my computer, but after several attempts, when Transmission has been the only application running, the crash has happened faster and faster.

Yesterday, I reinstalled a freshly downloaded version of 2.04, and now my computer crashes before Transmission has even finished booting up. This means that I cannot go in and check details of the program, but I have not changed anything from the downloaded version, so should all be default settings.

I have 3 small torrents waiting to finish downloading.

No other application does this to my computer.

Thankful for help.

I will try the above. In the meantime this is from my log:

Suddenly, after using Transmission flawlessly, my Mac Pro OSX 10.5.8 is crashing everytime I open Transmission. I repaired permissions, but that doesn't help. Do not see the files:

~/Library/Preferences/org.m0k.transmission.LSSharedFileList.plist
~/Library/Preferences/org.m0k.transmission.plist
~/Library/Caches/org.m0k.transmission

Any other ideas? Any updates? Thanks.

If you can't find those files using finder, you can delete them using terminal (Located in your applications/utilities folder.). Just type the following commands in terminal.

Code: Select all

rm ~/Library/Preferences/org.m0k.transmission.LSSharedFileList.plist

Press enter. Then type-

Code: Select all

rm ~/Library/Preferences/org.m0k.transmission.plist

Press enter again. Then type-

Code: Select all

rm -r ~/Library/Caches/org.m0k.transmission

Then press enter one more time.

Trashing and re-installing only delayed time before crash, but switching to 32-bit mode seems to have done the trick.
Thanks X190!
