Transmission has been a nifty program sometime.
Light, fast and not bloated like it's counterparts (in both MAC OS X and WIN environments).

It hasn't crashed my machine.
It's worked fine in that area.

The problem that I have found and have tested - is that v1.34 downloads more data than the size of the file being transferred. 70mg file transferred in about 15min - in that same period of time - the data amount transferred from our ISP jumped to over 120mg!! Tried with Azureus - 78mg.

Tried again with a 300mg file - 647mg with Transmission.
With Azureus, just over 370mg.

I would suggest going back to an earlier version of Transmission - until this problem and the problems of crashing other users have experienced is resolved.

AND ***DO NOT*** dismiss earlier working versions of Transmission - it's still a useable program.



NOTE: The discrepancy between the size of a file and the actual amount downloaded is due to the transfer protocol - and I would allow 50 to 100mg on a file - depending on how long the bit torrent client was running - as there is constant DownLoad being chewed up even when seeding a file. (The rough calc for "seeding only" was 647mg per month of DownLoad if you ran Az 24/7 just for seeding!)
