Transmission 4.1.1 BitTorrent Client Released With Performance Improvements

Transmission 4.1.1, an open-source cross-platform BitTorrent client, is now available on multiple platforms. This bugfix update addresses over 20 issues reported since version 4.1 was released three weeks ago. These include:

• Fixing incorrect free space reporting to RPC clients querying available disk space
• Restoring proper display and persistence of torrent queue positions between sessions
• Resolving crashes triggered by pausing torrents while editing tracker lists
• Fixing an arm32 crash by switching CRC32 libraries to Mark Adler’s crcany
• Hardening .torrent parsing to exit early when encountering invalid “pieces” sizes
• Reverting an RPC change that returned floating-point values for speed limits and broke third-party integrations
• Requiring UTF-8 filenames in .torrent files, in line with the BitTorrent specification
• Addressing a potential file descriptor leak when launching scripts on POSIX systems
