seems to be whenever i have transmission open it does this, but it never did it before. so i duno

This is a fairly well-known issue with the latest Transmission and OS X 10.5.5. Same crap happens with my computer a lot.

Not much you can do about it until the devs get the bug out of the codebase, and that could take a while.

Try putting in an upload speed............ I find 20kbs works good here.
