Cannot copy files from Transmission > Downloads folder

Since this morning, I cannot copy anything from the Transmission > Downloads folder to my Mac without the Finder giving me a SBBoD and then the share disconnecting with one of the following errors:

The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “document-x.pdf” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)

The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).

My RN102 is only about a month or so old and I have not really dared to mess with any settings which I am absolutely certain about and I have not changed anything to do with Transmission since I first installed it apart from switch the Speed Limit off and on as mentioned in another thread. The only thing I have done differently is add a torrent file using Safari on my iPad but some of the files which won't copy were added weeks ago.

    It has just entered it. Considering the severity of the issue hopefully it won't take long.
  • This has happened again only now I can't copy anything from the Transmission Downloads folder without getting the -36 error.

    I have rebooted everything and reset the Transmission File Access Permissions. As previously, if I try to connect to the Transmission share via AFP, the Finder crashes requiring me to reboot my Mac.

    I installed Yosemite 10.10.3 a few days ago but I am fairly certain that I have successfully copied a file since then.
  • I just bit the bullet and uninstalled Transmission, destroyed the Transmission share and then re-installed it.

    I can only hope that this will solve the problem in the long run.

    Hopefully what you did has fixed it. Let me know if you still have issues with it.
