It looks like it might have been corrupted when you downloaded the application. Perhaps trash it and redownload Transmission.

[riotcore]

ok, now the funny bit. i thrashed it, and now i'm trying to downloading it again, but it just won't happen. it doesn't even start the process...i restarted my machine but till nothing.
if i was religious, at this point i'd start praying.

...any suggestions?

thnx

Won't download from our website in your webbrowser? That's out of my league.

[riotcore]

ok, now i tried to download it using safari (from your website) and it does: however, when i try to open it, it still says "transmission quit unexpectedly", asks me to relaunch but when i do it repeats the same thing over and over. problem details are these (similar to last time):

Perhaps try launching the app in 32-bit mode (look in the inspector).

[livings124]

Did you install your own copy of libcurl?

[riotcore]

ok so it does exactly the same thing even if downloaded from safari. i dunno how to launch it in 32-bit mode as it wont open AT ALL, and im not too sure what libcurl is... sorry

[livings124]

Look in Finder's inspector to set the app to 32 bit mode. It is quite possible you (unintentionally) installed a copy of libcurl built for the wrong architecture, in which case I can't really help you.

[riotcore]

im sorry to be this retarded, but how do i look in Finder's inspector and set it in 32 bit mode? i clicked on the transmission icon and then finder, but i cant do anything on the actual tranmissions settings coz it wont open..

[livings124]

Click on the icon in the Finder and hit Apple-I

[riotcore]

hey it worked! thank u sooo much, ur a star. it was about setting in in 32 bit mode..i wont investigate why and what or i'd have to kidnap u for the next few years haha.cheerz for putting up with me!

got the same problem here with 1.7.5 - the walkaround fixed it.

Version 1.7.4 worked fine (yesterday) till i updated to 1.7.5 today. If i now switch back to a lower version i still get the error as posted before here. And I also didn't changed anything on my system except an itunes update to version 9.x.

nevertheless the tip helped well.. thy!!

I've got the same problem but i'm obviously even more clueless - how do I set it to 32 bit?

I've got the same problem but i'm obviously even more clueless - how do I set it to 32 bit?

Control-Click on the icon of the Transmission app. and select 'Get Info'. You should be able to select '32 bit mode' in this window.

I can open that ok, but where in there do I select "32 bit mode"? Sorry, I'm driving myself crazy....
