Ubuntu
transmission package

Selecting the scheduled times for the alternative speed limits seems a bit unusual...

Asked by Kajetan

When trying to set Scheduled times for the Alternative Speed Limits I get a selector for every single quarter hour of the day (meaning 96 fields I can click on). Is this intended behaviour? (I mean, it works, but it looks a bit strange and I have seen older screenshots where a time could be entered so I wondered whether this could be a weird bug...)

If you are using a PPA then results cannot be guaranteed. If you use the tried and tested version from the Ubuntu repositories is it OK?

What is in the newer version that you need?

I see. No, it looks the same...

It seems that Transmission 2.82 crashes frequently when web seeds are used. (This bug was fixed somewhere between 2.82 and 2.92).

Having 2.92 would be nice. (The weird looking time selection isn't a real problem, I was mainly wondering if it was intended...)

I also seem to get the same results when I boot a 16.04.1 ISO in a virtual box, so perhaps this is what it's meant to look like currently?

I suggest you report a bug. Maybe it's a new feature
