      Hello !
      Long time no see 🙂
      I just noticed that since the newest update of Transmission, 5 days ago, I get a lot of 502s on the web interface, and it is generally extremely slow. No idea why this is happening. I tried restarting the app, it does not help. Anybody else seeing this ?

            @girish OK, after a bit more investigation, it appears that the app stops crashing when I remove the transmission-config dir and restart it, then starts crashing again as soon as I add any torrent to download. There appears to be something in the new base image that transmission does not like at all...

              Also, I can confirm that a rollback to v1.1.0 fixes the problem for me. I am disabling auto updates for now 🤷

              (btw, it's a bit annoying that there is no way to rollback the version without restoring an old backup 😕 Would be nice if it were possible on the interface)

              EDIT: btw, I also tried on a clean install of Transmission : same behaviour. Seems to work fine when there are no torrents, then crashes as soon as I add any torrent.

                Installing a specific version without restoring is only possible via the cloudron cli. Given the fact that often there is datamigration run for updates (even if not the case for transmission here) the data format might be incompatible only causing harder to debug issues. Providing an easier UI for this just makes it look like this is a good idea to do so.

                  @nebulon I understand, this makes sense.

                  Any other step I can take to help you debug the underlying problem with the new version ?

                    Also can confirm that the latest version came with some errors regarding Segmentation Fault.
                    Had to downgrade to 1.1.0, as per user @mehdi stated.

                    Can we try to check the codebase for a possible bug or is it upstream?

                    Thanks.

                      @mehdi @afonsosantos I can reproduce the crash.

                      I see this in dmesg:

                        OK, so https://github.com/transmission/transmission/discussions/4370 is the upstream bug report. Looks like they recommend using the 4.0 beta instead.

                        I will revoke this release.

                          It seems even the previous transmission dies with OOM. Looks like maybe something to do with host Ubuntu 22.04. Trying with more memory.

                            Apparently, there is a memory leak:

                              Looks like transmission 4.0 is out.

                                Unfortunately, the memory issue still persists.

                                    I pushed out a new package with 4.0.1. Had to bump up the memory limit to 1GB to make things work a bit more reliably.
