The issue has been already fixed, but we have to wait for the next release, or we can install the nightly builds as recommended by ckerr. 1) install prerequirements: sudo apt-get update sudo apt install build-essential cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev curl 2) download latest tarball from https://build.transmissionbt.com/job/trunk-linux/ 3) build tar xf transmission-4.0.0-beta.1.dev+rd381939267.tar.xz cd transmission-4.0.0-beta.1.dev+rd381939267 mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo .. make sudo make install The "make" step took an hour on my ten yrs old laptop.

It "eats" RAM and the RAM usage grows each hour until it crashes the system. I sideloaded transmission-daemon and its dependancies from debian 11 (arm64) locked the packages so apt won't update them and, ever since, this issue hasn't happened.
