i have seen issues such as frozen when clicking in transmission when i have many torrents active, get more frozen (or just totally frozen when i have a active download torrent).
And this make the download torrents to download slower. Have this a while now.

In 1.74b1, I am unable to connect to any peers, even on torrents with over 10,000 seeds.

Downloads were fine in 1.73. The port is open. I tried two different trackers with the same result.

How can I be of assistance in tracking down why this might be occurring? What other information would be useful in diagnosing the problem?

Hey, I downloaded the new version, and now whenever I try to start it up it says it does not work for my version of the OS X operating system. I use a mac, but the older version of MAC OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Thanks for a great application!

The 1.5x releases were the last to support Tiger, so you should consider using 1.54. That's not quite as old as it sounds -- 1.54 was a bugfix release put out after1.61 for the benefit of Tiger users.

Built it on OpenBSD/sparc64, which is a good platform for finding bugs, and the GTK client dies a few seconds after starting up with a stack smash in dht_periodic(). 1.73 was fine.

transmission-remote

The list command (-l) is no longer returns a nicely formated list because the function that generates the "ETA" string can now return strings that are much longer (up to 22 characters long, overflowing the 16 char string passed) than the 8 characters expected by printf for that column.

Torrents that are stopped but not done show an ETA of "0 seconds" instead of the previous "Unknown". The web client and the gtk client both just don't show anything so maybe an empty string would be best to keep consistency.

web client

Torrents start out with the progress bar completely green instead of white.

Noticing that if the tracker being used has a limit of transfers, items that are slated to be downloaded show a "torrent limit reached" message. After a while, all queued downloads are automatically paused.

Will Transmission unpause a transfer once another download has completed or is this going to be a manual process to activate another download?

Not really. The backtrace isn't very enlightening.

Still, it might help Juliusz (the DHT author) a bit. I've mailed him a heads-up and pointed him to this thread.
