I have a couple of new problems with the last couple of D/Ls.
When I push the "pause all transfers' button, it pauses all... and then un-pauses all, all by itself... and I have to Pause All again.
The other is shutting the client down. Transmission won't let the OS shut it down and will cancel the ShutDown or ReStart. It goes into some kinda shut-down loop that is unending... and it just spins there until I Force Quit it.
(106.8 here and the only add-on is Unsanity's WindowShade).

I'm not sure what Vuze does differently : I also tried uTorrent and BitTorrent prior to settling on Vuze and the latter was the only one that worked.

If I have a large list of files it causes kernel panics on OS 10.6.8. Just upgraded to 10.6.8 recently, and Transmission is most definitely the issue here. Never any other app, I can run for days. When I launch Transmission and have a lot of seeds, it kernel panics my machine EVERY SINGLE TIME. Frigging junk.

I only use 50 connection and only one file.
The same with torrent is normal.
Force to remove :(((((
Transmission fan speaking!!!
I'm using version 2.33 and had no problem until a few hours ago: Transmission isn't able to download any file...
It starts as usual but after a few Ko or Mo it stops and says "...No such file directory" etc...
I haven't changed anything to my files nor the app itself.
Does anyone have an idea about this?
Thanks

"Transmission: This process is attempting to exclude an item from Time Machine without administrator privileges"
I am running from an account with administrator privileges, so it looks like an odd error . . .

I've downloaded almost half of a huge torrent. Lots of peers with almost nothing downloaded, and a few seeders.
If I wish I can download at a horrendous rate from seeders and kill my ratio quick because little goes out, but instead I make my upload maximum huge and my download tiny in order to maintain ratio.
Yet Transmission won't upload to more than one or two leechers. Mouseover shows two main situations. They're interested but transmission won't upload to them, or transmission will upload but they aren't interested.
If I've got half of the data, they have little, and my upload rate is huge, why won't Transmission upload to them?

Just doubleclick the file and build Transmission like you're used to...
BTW: THE best torrent cliënt EVER for the Mac (& other platforms I suppose when it's well build). I've tried them all and Transmission is just the best! Can't say exactly how long I'm using it as my default torrent cliënt but it's long. Very long! Many many years...
Many thanks to all the developers!!! Great job, very good and clean code and so many platforms supported!!!

On Mac OSX
Transmission has an Xcode project file (Transmission.xcodeproj) for building in Xcode. Make sure you have this software:
Mac OS X 10.6 or newer
Mac OS X 10.6 SDK
Xcode 3.2 or newer
(Found on your OS installation disk, or from the Apple Developer website)
Building the project on Mac requires the source to be retrieved from SVN. Pre-packaged source code will not compile.

Anyway, if you want to get a .dmg of the latest nightly builds, it can be found at https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/trunk-mac/

I'm sure if you know something about compiling this can't be an issue. But I'll try it and check it :).Using Terminal or Xcode or Qt. You can 'make' your own .xcodeproj file via Qt if you don't have the skills to do it in Xcode. If you need the commands, let me know okay...
I also believe that it's sometimes a good thing when people are posting comments, like this one, here on MU. If one can help someone, why not? One have to read the 'What makes a good review or tip?' when posting here... And there are always MU-admins if a comment is not on it's place...
Never the less, posting this issue in the developer forum from Transmission is a good thing!
With kind regards.

What is wrong with you that you need to be so rude? It doesn't make sense to remove a link just because the link's server has an outage. Do you think the rest of the internet handles outages that way?
Please use a grain of common sense, and common courtesy.

Had you taken the trouble to look properly at the posts, you would have seen that its been like that since 17 October 2010, when I tried to download the code from svn as stated on the page as a requirement for an OSX build.
I do not feel I was rude, I used no profanities in my post.
If you are unable to provide a service don't advertise it.
+171
Yes, I read your post back in October and replied to it then too. :)
I've used svn.transmissionbt.com on a nearly daily basis in during the October - December timeframe you're describing. The host has definitely not been down for two months.

First try on svn port 3690, no go, second try on http port 80, success, same ip address.
Can you confirm you are using port 3690 for svn?
I confirm there is no blocking of port 3690 on my router.

If you want to check out the source code yourself from svn, open a terminal window and type:
svn co svn://svn.transmissionbt.com/Transmission/trunk Transmission [End Quote]
Regarding port, must be 80? I never opened 3690 and it just downloaded fine.

Upgrading to the latest from the official non apple site and ensuring its in your path allows the download.
I am not sure at what version this happened, but request that you put on the web site that if you experience problems, to install the latest svn version.
thanks for your assistance

2. Transmission's developers don't endorse piracy. If you must pirate, please use some other application for that. Thanks!

Bad metaphor. A cigarette is useless without smoking it, but BitTorrent is very useful without piracy.
