Once again, thanks for your email and comment, Jordan.

Sorry poor phrasing by me.

The external HDD (EXT format) did NOT buzz (the EXT formatted drive has NEVER made any strange noises).
I'm not sure if both internal HDD were buzzing, but there was a continuous high-pitched buzzing from my PC tower.
The HDD indicator LED was lit constantly (on the PC tower).

I was only able to apt-get the same version (1.93) of Transmission that was already installed.
It was strange, since I included the version number from the list of versions that were supposedly available.

Synaptic was able to retrieve an earlier version (1.92).
I haven't tested this version to see if it behaves the same way (when attempting multiple downloads to the same partition).

I tried this combination of 3 torrents (2x downloads + 1x upload).
One download to the external HDD (EXT format).
One download to the 1.5 TB WD internal HDD (NTFS format).
One upload from the 1.5 TB WD internal HDD (NTFS format).

There are NO buzzing noises using this combination of torrents and version 1.92 (Transmission).
I have run this combination for many (30+) hours, with no sign of any problems.
