Bug#986045: transmission-daemon: transmission daemon 3.0 unresponsive API / WebUI during downloads

[Peter Colton]

Package: transmission-daemon
Version: 3.00-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: recordin...@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

When I run transmission WebUI on freedombox, half way through a download the WebUI will crash.
I then reboot the machine and restart the torrent download and it will soon crash again.
I have found a post on github where people are having the same problem with - transmission-daemon

I have posted the url below from github so you can have a look and be aware that there is a bug with transmission daemon 3.0
