When starting TransmissionBT everything is fine for now, but if a selected torrent and more get started (by single click) or with the start all torrents button, TransmissionBT crashes.

When transmission-deamon gets started, i start to add/start torrents, then between 10 and 15 torrents starting one by one, transmission crashes. start all torrents and it crashes immediatly.

The watchdog restarts the transmission-daemon later, the game starts from the beginning

I’ve already changed the log level under logging to debug and looked at transmission.log too. Nothing there to really understand what’s going on.

Settings for the Bittorrent Client are mostly default, DHT, PEX, LPD and uTP are off. I’ve changed the download folder (moved to mounted usb3 drive) and i’ve changed the message level to Debug to get every information out of transmission.log. But it just shows that torrents got added and announcing, thats it.

With 2024.2 there is no issue.

Checked it with original images and a self compiled one, right before wolfssl got added to the tree and openssl 3.0 got default.

    I'm not entirely sure if this will fix the problem…
