Hi,

Sorry, but I disagree this is a bug.

The description of transmission-daemon states:
"For the associated transmission-remote, see the package transmission-cli."

and the description for transmission-gtk states:
"This package contains the GTK *stand-alone* client." (emphasis added)

So I believe it's pretty clear transmission-gtk and transmission-daemon
aren't meant to be used together.
Have you checked transmission-remote-gtk[0]? Might be what you're
looking for.
Unfortunately I still haven't gotten around to packaging it though...

This could be caused by using the same peer-port on both programs, but I
haven't checked if the tracker connection also uses this port. Either
way it should only impact one of them (the one started last), so if
you're experiencing this on both simultaneously it may be something else
entirely.

Transmission-daemon runs as a dedicated system-user, so it seems
impractical to implement a solution where both share the same downloads.
I am however very open to suggestions on this point, so if you have an
idea how to make this work in a sane fashion, just let me know!


Since I believe this bug stemmed more from a misunderstanding of how
transmission works than from the fact that the daemon and the gtk
interface don't play well together, I'm tagging it as wontfix. I do
however believe there might be a legitimate use-case for it, so if this
is really what you wanted, just let me know and we can try to find the
problem.


Cheers
