If you still encounter issues you might experiment with setting peer or bandwith limits.
I can confirm that: The Ubuntu ISO I dowloaded for test purposes stalled after maybe 15 minutes (about 75% downloaded) - until I disconnected and reconnected my WLAN connection...

Just a note on two minor changes i made starting with new rev19 build. I will continue to put in later revisions so you don't need to get this unless you really want these features below :
First, i shifted open dialog a little to give another line of directory scrolling in that cramped open dlg.
Second, I created environment variable for cache relocation called TRANS_CACHEDIR which lets you move the cache dir onto an mmc.
The idea behind cache relocation is to minimize writes to internal (nonreplacable flash memory), but in practice transmission is not doing very much writing at all to the cache dir... seems maybe twice per file download session for updating this metadata.
So this is not really needed and by default i will still store cache data to device home directory, but advanced users can relocate the sha1hash/peer cache files by modifying /usr/bin/transmission launch script, replacing :
./transmission
with :
TRANS_CACHEDIR=/media/mmc2/yourcachedirname ./transmission

Hi,
I can confirm that: The Ubuntu ISO I dowloaded for test purposes stalled after maybe 15 minutes (about 75% downloaded) - until I disconnected and reconnected my WLAN connection...
I don't think it has to do s.th. with power management, as the tablet was connected to AC and the screen went off and on (me checking for progress) several times during transfer.
You can run 'dmesg' from Xterminal and look for wlan driver related messages after network connection breaks. If you notice something unusual, you can try to submit a bug at http://bugs.maemo.org and paste these error messages there.
If you see something like 'We haven't got a READY interrupt from WAKEUP' in dmesg log, I have a fix/workaround for this problem (for Nokia 770 wlan driver). Also look at https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=329

Which leads me to think its pretty rough on the router and failure could be on that side.
If this happens again, at least now i can use dmesg to see if anythings off on nokia side.

i really like this program, but ive not been able to get it working in a stable manner.
im using os2008 on an n800 and if i have a torrent downloading and click on preferences it locks up the window, it wont let me exit from the preferences window and transmission seems to hang if i try to exit it from the tray.
when my screen goes off to save energy it seems to lock transmission up as well, i will tap the screen to turn it back on and transmission is totally blank and stops responding.
i can manually add the tablets ip using utorrent on this machine and it will only transfer about 1MB before transmission crashes.
if i restart the program 2-3 times i can get it to move some data, but the crashes seem to be a regular thing.
im using the latest version and im not sure whats going on, noone else seems to have mentioned these problems :S

(in particular, early versions of Linksys WPC11 PCMCIA 802.11b cards - found them totally useless for use in wifi NAS applications as the card would stop working one or two Gigs into a backup; OTOH, same-vintage D-Link DWL-650s worked w/no probs)

So um...
- Your running chinook version of 1.01 (build 19)?
- What size files are you working with? When you say it crashes maybe your -downloading- large file and its actually busy allocating on sd card.
- If its a real crash (transmission window goes away), then run it from xterm (transmission) and maybe that would point to the cause.
Update : (sigh) the author has updated his source to version 1.02 so i'll be doing another build soon. If none of my ideas helped you can always 'wait for next version' which occurs approximately every 1 earth hour. I guess i can't really complain and maemo users dont need to update every time either, but you might since having issues. I'll post when i've updated build... probably tonight/tomorrow.
I look forward to getting some free time to "stress test" these new versions soon

I think the problem you guys are having is related to ours:

Fresh bits... v1.02... first post...
Its got new fixes to prevent end of the world... makes the open dialog more better... lets u cache relocate to prevent briking your device from downloading 10TB of manga... and frivolous stability stuff too (i think)

im new to the n800 so its possible theres other things going on that might interfere, if noone else has had these problems then its probably my unit that is bugged,
to answer some questions
i was downloading 700MB avi's i had ripped on my main machine to stress he connection abit (its great when it gets going a steady 600KB/s) somtimes when it crashed it rebooted the nokia (might have been using version 18), on version 19 it just seemed to lock up when the screen went off, and on the preferences menu.
dunno what version of os2008 im using i will have to check, il assume its the newest, but i updated on the day i got it so i cant be sure.
thx for your help, im sure i will locate the problem if its with the unit.
