Package: transmission
Version: 2.52-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

The setting for 'maximum peers per torrent' seems as if it should affect all
torrents currently in Transmission's queue.  However, in fact this seems to only
affect torrents that are added *after* this value has been set.  So if I add a
torrent with the limit at the default, and then I later want to lower this value
to free up some bandwidth, this won't apply to the existing torrent, unless I
remove the torrent and re-add it.

To reproduce: find a very popular torrent with more than 20 seeders.  Set
'maximum peers per torrent' to 10, add the torrent.  Transmission's status will
say "Downloading from <x> of 10 connected peers".  Now go to Edit > Preferences
> Network and set "Maximum peers per torrent" to 20.  I would expect the
existing torrent to adjust to the new global limit and connect to more seeders
-- this is what happens with the "Maximum peers overall" value, actually.  But
instead, the torrent will stay connected to only 10 seeders.  If you remove and
add the torrent again after setting the value, it will correctly connect to 20
seeders.

Cheers,
David
