Possible issues with Transmission 1.75
Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2009 2:12 pm
I have experienced the following minor issues while running Transmission 1.75 GTK on Ubuntu 9.04:
Applying restrictions to the number of connected peers (both total and peers-per-torrent) via main menu (Edit-Preferences-Network) seems didn't work properly for torrents that had been loaded and started before, even after pausing/resuming those torrents or restarting Transmission. However, for newly loaded torrents it definitely works as expected.
Traffic count issue while running torrents referring to http servers (pretty exotic though). Download speed via http doesn't count to the total value in popup window under Transmission icon in the system tray. The total download speed displayed at the right bottom corner of Transmission window itself is correct.
Downloading onto NTFS partition issue. This resulted in high processor load and huge slowing down of Transmission. Both download and upload rate for all active torrents plunged down to almost unusable. The number of corrupt pieces seems also increased. System logs were full of "Transmission tainted" warning messages. The issue however seems is not of Transmission itself but of ntfs-3g. Just a warning: try to avoid downloading onto NTFS, especially of large files (>2GB).
