Upon finishing download, transfers still switch to 'seed forever' despite reaching upload limit.

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

For months now Transmission nightlies and stable builds will switch a transfer to 'seed forever', no matter that it reached it's upload limit before downloading was finished (I tend to be able to upload faster than I can download).

Bug reports have been ignored insisting that I must purchase screen video capture software and make a video of this occurring before I will be believed by Transmission developers. Sorry - I'm not going to buy software for one time use.

Also 'check for update' remains broken many months after this was reported.

System Info:Mid-2007 24" 2.8GHz iMac with 4GB RAM running OSX 10.5.7.

You're the only one to report either of these, and you stopped replying when prompted for more information.

I have also notified this problem. It seems to me this happens only when I assign High status for the transfer. Then it ignores the ratio settings.

No, I'm now not the only one to report this. I had a reply to my forum post (though unfortunately long after stopped watching) stating they had experienced the same issue. Plus I note someone below stating they experience this issue, or possibly a very similar one. Either way - it may not be much, but at least one other person who read my Transmission forum post has this issue - which still exists as of the latest nightly in August 2009.
