A newer version does exist for Raspbian
If the update is not available for Buster (apt update && apt upgrade) then you could download and update the package manually, do a mixed update with Bullseye or do a full upgrade to Bullseye. Since nothing depends on Transmission I think the manual update is relatively safe.

Can you please give me some instructions or directions on how to do this because I don't really understand?

Code: Select all

sudo su -
apt update
apt upgrade
Check if transmission is updated. If not, download and install a newer version manually:

Code: Select all

dpkg -i transmission-daemon_3.00-1_armhf.deb

Sigh ... please read the messages from the install again ... it tells you that you need some more packages or update some. Oh, and this is by all means NOT installing things properly. You need to upgrade your pi to Bullseye for that anyway.

Now it works but the settings options don't work, I can't enter them, I can't even check the version because the window is inactive. I can't even stop/delete added torrents
