EDIT:
Ok, I figured it out. Yeah! :D

Does anyone have any idea why I can't upgrade to 2.41.00 through frontview?

EDIT 2:
Somehow i managed to update to 2.41.00, now i get the download speeds I want, but transmission crashes after a few minutes, any ideas? I’m using a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus

I updated to 2.41 via frontview on a pro 6 and transmission says it is 2.41 now, but frontview still says 2.40.02 and 2.41 is available. Addon bug?

Haven't tried to transfer anything yet.

It could be a bug in the addon, when updating to 2.40.03 it also thought it had updated to 2.40.02 and thus had a new update available...

I just updated to 2.41.00 and everything seems fine, so I guess it is fixed now

No problems with transmission randomly stopping?

Nope. I had a few problems at the beginning (several months back, i think I had v2.31 back then or so), but once I fiddled a bit with the configuration everything worked fine. I think I did most of the configuring using Transmission Remote GUI, not manually editing the settings.json file.

I had issues with it crashing frequently (seems to be on specific torrents) before with 2.34 (beta something) and so far 2.41 has behaved very nicely without a single crash so far.

How did you fix it?

I'm not the poster above, but I did the update and afterwards it said the old version still on front view. But when I went into the transmission web ui there is an about entry in the menu that indicates it is the new version. A day or so later the frontview UI showed 2.41. Probably a browser cache issue or something.

For everyone using Transmission Remote dotNet, a new version is out fixing the unknown status problem. It can be found here.
