transmission works very slowly in 10.10

Binary package hint: transmission

Transmission pauses and unpauses very slowly in 10.10 on my computer. All apps are running fine, but Transmission.

Is the whole interface sort of laggy?

I have the same problem as RedSingularity. The interface seem extremely sluggish. Clicking, selecting, scrolling; it's all slow with a delay, even the menus.

Some info:

- I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 (I had no problem with transmission on 10.04)
- I tried updating from their ppa to version 2.10. Still no improvement.
- I don't have proprietary driver installed (They don't support my card - 310M)
- No other apps have this sluggish behavior
- Maverick has frozen on my twice yesterday (upgrade 2 days ago). Both times transmission was open. Didn't open transmission today and no freezes. However, could be coincidence.

Yes, the interface is laggy. It does not respond fast. I had no problems with previous versions.

This seems like a common bug. I am going to mark it as a duplicate in a moment. Did you both upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04?

[Jānis Miezītis (janjiss-gmail)]

I have a fresh install, but note here - My /home folder is mounted as a partition and I kept old files on it from last installation. I did reinstall from 10.04 to 10.10.

Count me in, I'm having the same problem here... went from 10.04 to 10.10 and experiencing the same problems of Transmission UI running like molases(extremely slow). I am also having the system freezing when Transmission is running after a day or two on a bittorrent dedicated computer.
