Transmission Upgrade to 4.0 release

[Stagnate9916]

The Transmission daemon version 4 has been available for two years. Could you please consider upgrading the Transmission daemon?

The current version (3.00) is over four years old.

For reference: Transmission 3.00 Release

Could you please tell us what features of the fourth version do you need?

We don't upgrade because transmission 4.0 uses C++ inplace of C, and consumes significantly more CPU, RAM and flash storage.

I haven’t noticed any missing features so far.

However, my main concern is the possibility of this client version eventually becoming deprecated from a tracker’s perspective.

I installed Transmission 4 (latest) via OPKG, and it ran smoothly, so I thought: why not upgrade the stock client? I wasn’t aware of the increased resource usage it might bring.

The one thing I’ve missed with the OPKG installation is the ability to restrict the client to a dedicated connection using Keenetic OS.

We are keeping track of this, and in case of obsoletion we will do something, of course. But now it's not strictly required.

debian still sticks with 3.0 in stable so i guess there are reasons for this
