Leo,

Thanks for uploading 4.0.1-1. Good idea to disable libtransmission-dev for now.

I did a bit of testing, and it seems to get a bunch of those old "no
bencoded data to parse" errors, and a whole bunch of fully downloaded
torrents showed up as 0%. So I cherry-picked to the tip of
upstream/main (as of yesterday) above your branch, see branch
cherry-pick-devel on https://salsa.debian.org/bap/transmission, and
that fixed *everything*! All fully-downloaded torrents verify
completely and show as 100% downloaded. Yes, even all the single-file
ones. And no more "no bencoded data to parse" errors. If you look at
the commits, there are a bunch of seemingly-relevant bug fixes. And
also some minor stuff.

Anyway, I think it would be a service to our users to not have them
upgrade and suddenly half their complete torrents show up as 0% and
they're getting screenfulls of "bencoded" errors about torrents that
used to work fine. So I think it might be a good idea to upload a
version patched with these upstream fixes, or at least some coherent
subset of them.

Really upstream should release 4.0.2 with these fixes right away,
since 4.0.1 is, technically speaking, what we in the biz call
"broken". But I digress.

Cheers,

--Barak.
