Unspecified I/O error
Posting multiple times is really going to help
Unless what was suggested for the other people having the same issue didn't work for you, then, If someone around here knew the answer I bet they would have already responded. You'd either have to (1) keep waiting or (2) try to google for an answer. I've never seen the error myself, so I wouldn't know what to suggest.
Or you could also check if that tracker you are using has some sort of IRC / Forum and maybe ask over there as well ~or try some other random BT client and see if the issue still persists.

I'm not really sure if this helps out:

Yeah, they mention Windows, but for some reason I randomly read that and thought about this thread.What's this "IOError - [Errno13] Permission denied" error?
If you just want to fix it reboot your computer, it should solve the problem. Otherwise, read on.
IOError means Input-Output Error, and that is a file system error, not a tracker one. It shows up when your client is for some reason unable to open the partially downloaded torrent files. The most common cause is two instances of the client to be running simultaneously: the last time the client was closed it somehow didn't really close but kept running in the background, and is therefore still locking the files, making it impossible for the new instance to open them.
A more uncommon occurrence is a corrupted FAT. A crash may result in corruption that makes the partially downloaded files unreadable, and the error ensues. Running scandisk should solve the problem. (Note that this may happen only if you're running Windows 9x - which only support FAT - or NT/2000/XP with FAT formatted hard drives. NTFS is much more robust and should never permit this problem.)

Thanks for the info - it turned out that my HDD had bad sectors, and Transmission was trying to access them. I noticed that right before the error occurred, the system would freeze for a few seconds, accompanied by a clicking noise coming from the disk. I had to back up all my data, zero the disk with Disk Utility, and make a clean install. Unfortunately, almost all of the torrent was lost, as I was able to back up only one file (others showed Error -36).
Now, is it possible that Transimssion was the cause of the bad sectors not being mapped out? Normally, the system should automatically "flag" bad sectors when it encounters them...

If you guys try the latest Nightly Build (from 1.22+ 6420 onwards) you can get more information.

Re: Unspecified I/O error
try repairing the drive in disk utility. just select the drive, then repair disk. it worked for me. i don't see why it wouldn't work for you.
