Package: transmission
Version: 1.33-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss


I just experienced this bug, which has been reported upstream, and so I
decided to report it here for other Debian users to see.

See: http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/1305
Also: http://forum.transmissionbt.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5624

According to those links, the problem has been seen in all of the 1.3x
releases, including 1.34. Downgrading to 1.22 is supposed to fix the
issue.

Basically, a download says it's using a lot of bandwidth, and is using
that bandwidth, but the download still proceeds at a very slow rate. A lot
of the downloaded data is therefore being lost somehow.

In my case, I ran several torrents adding up to about 1.5 GB of data,
which should have taken a couple of hours. After MANY hours, my downloads
were less than 50% done, but the client had used over 7 GB of bandwidth.

Thanks,
Cameron
