After upgrading to transmission 2.33, the app constantly maxes out my number of IP connections on the router (4096). I've tried all kinds of settings to limit it, but the problem persists. Back on 2.13, the number of connections (while running even MORE torrents, mind you), may start out at max, but would eventually stabilize at around using 75% of the connections. This is killing my router and my ability to p2p, please, developers, can you look into it? Can anyone offer any suggestions and help?
Edited to add: Problem possibly solved!
After a suggestion in #transmission on freenode by the helpful John_, I went under Preferences -> Network, and disabled Micro Transport Protocol (µTP). That cleared things right up. And now my connections have dropped to a manageable 80% level.
